عمليات عسكرية وامنية للقوات السورية واشتباكات مع منشقين يؤدي لسقوط 38 قتيلا

is he for real: he says this when the syrian regime is attacking towns with airplanes??

The Syrian regime is not bound by a deadline to withdraw its troops from strife-torn areas, pro-government daily Al-Watan on Thursday quoted a government official as saying.

ah yes promises and commitments the Syrian way.

They say "beginning" of withdrawal... that's vague enough to mean nothing...

We have to give Ceasar what's to Ceasar, and we have to give Assad credit. He is manipulating Koffi Annan, the Arab league, and the UN for his own good and survival. The April 10th date is not more than what used to happen during the Lebanese war, you agree of a cessation of hostilities and you back-it up with a political document, while the real purpose is to re-group and reassess the situation on the ground to decide the next steps. Assad is using Annan and the UN as pawns for his strategy, and they're obliging. You have to give it to Assad and his surrounding. They are more versed in the art of war than the representatives at the UN. Things don't work like that. You don't go sit with Assad for a couple of hours and you ask him nicely to pull his troops and allow demonstrations and he does. This is all naive. If the west is really interested in stopping the bloodshed, they would commit peace keeping troops. If they arm the FSA, tomorrow we will be hearing about mass revenge.

UN is a shamble.

Assad is a Killer.

Syria will disintegrate eventually.. do u really think everything will go back to normal?... i doubt that.

long live lebanon

As i said before, although i dont like Assad, he is here to stay. He will not go and this is from the very beginning. The USA and Zionists love their syrian ally which guarantees stability on their borders and lebanon's borders with Israel. All this little mascarade was just to shake him and his convictions. The ultimate goal was to try to detach him from Iran his ally. They couldnt, So they are shaking him now and squeezing him in order to attack Iran maybe in the near future so that Syria would be busy with its problems and wont be able to transfer weapons to hezbollah to strike Israel in a full war. This is the only thing. if the USA or the world would have wanted him out, they would have transfered heavy weapons to the opposition and organise a no-fly zone like Libya. But they knew Syria is the core of extremism and already egypt is under the influence of brotherhood.

Whether we or i like it or not, although i dont like neither USA-ZIONISTS- IRAN-SYRIA, The USA plays with the world like it wants and when it wants. It created sunni extremism around Iran , supported its main oil suppliers, sent them weapons, are shaking Iran's main ally which is Syria. The ultimate goal of all that is strike Iran. Strategy my friends, and deceptions. We are always arguing but we are only cards in the hand of the world rulers. The problem is not that those fight and battles are for greater cause but only for dominion.

shame on those lebanese who still support the butcher of damascus! short memory they have or do they miss the privileges assad gave them when he was occupying their country?

Everyone knows Lavrov is infallible...right? Russian foreign policy has worked so well over the last decade (Russia becoming more and more irrelevant in east Europe and the middle east).

Totally agree with you min-canada. Either option will bring negative results on the Assad regime.

If they don't implement the withdrawal and ceasefire, the war will continue and arms will come in from abroad in larger amounts, if he does the protesters will return in the hundreds of thousands like they were before the army crackdown. There's no way out for Assad except leaving power (either slowly or speedily).
