البيت الابيض يرفض فكرة فرض منطقة حظر جوي في سوريا
Read this story in English
رفض البيت الابيض الجمعة فكرة فرض منطقة حظر جوي في سوريا لمساعدة مقاتلي المعارضة، وذلك غداة اتهامه نظام الرئيس بشار الاسد للمرة الاولى باستخدام اسلحة كيميائية.
واوردت وسائل اعلام اميركية ان البنتاغون عرض على ادارة باراك اوباما اقامة منطقة حظر جوي محدودة وخصوصا لحماية معسكرات تدريب مقاتلي المعارضة السورية.
وفرض منطقة الحظر الجوي كان احد القرارات التي اتخذت خلال تدخل الولايات المتحدة وحلفائها في العمليات العسكرية ضد نظام معمر القذافي في ليبيا العام 2011، لكن احد مساعدي الرئيس اوباما اكد ان تكرار هذا السيناريو في سوريا سيكون اكثر صعوبة.
وقال بن رودس مساعد مستشار الامن القومي لاوباما في مؤتمر صحافي الجمعة في البيت الابيض ان فرض هذه المنطقة "اكثر صعوبة وخطورة وكلفة في سوريا".
واضاف "في ليبيا كان ثمة وضع تسيطر فيه المعارضة على اقسام هائلة من البلاد وكان يمكن حمايتهم انطلاقا من المجال الجوي"، مؤكدا ان ليبيا لم تكن تملك "انظمة الدفاع الجوي نفسها الموجودة في سوريا".
واوضح رودس ان "قوات النظام وقوات المعارضة (السورية) متشابكة وفي بعض الحالات تتقاتل من منزل الى منزل في المدن، هذه ليست مشكلة يمكن حلها من الجو".
وتابع المستشار "ينبغي ان نفهم ان منطقة الحظر الجوي ليست الحل المعجزة"، مدافعا عن "محاولة تعزيز المعارضة المعتدلة"، وذلك بعدما اعلنت واشنطن الخميس قرارها بتقديم "مساعدة عسكرية" الى مقاتلي المعارضة من دون ان تورد تفاصيل.
ولكن يبدو ان الادارة الاميركية لم تغلق الباب نهائيا امام فرض منطقة حظر جوي مستقبلا، فقد اكدت المتحدثة باسم الخارجية الاميركية جينيفر بساكي الجمعة انه رغم عدم اتخاذ اي قرار في هذا الصدد فان هذه الاستراتيجية "لا تزال ضمن الخيارات" المتاحة للرئيس اوباما.

The Arabs should take matter into their own hands and not rely on foreign countries - be it the US or Iran.

Yes, a coalition of gulf countries plus Egypt would crush them in hours.... But Israel would prevent their ally from falling.

"Hope has return within the FSA ranks".
LOL, what are you on? The FSA-Al Qaeda ranks are falling apart and their morale has collapsed. Qusayr was the death blow and they're not even close to recovering from it.
Hope has returned al, lol.

This is obvious. It's no secret that they're secret allies, the only resistance is us. We resist the fake resistance and in Syria the only resisting people is the FSA and the locals.
Israel gives legitimacy to hezb Ebola by making it look indispensable, but it's a sham.
We're no longer blind and our destiny is in our hands. Not in tel aviv, Tehran, Damascus or even jeddah.

@FT: I have monitored your posts as well as others'. There are many intelligent posts and there are also many stupid posts. What amazes me about your posts is the fact that they are the most stupid ones while camouflaged as intelligent ones.
You have never failed deflecting the blame and disputing the obvious; (one of the worst traits).
You have never made a valid point in any one of your posts; as I have previously wrote, you’re totally bankrupt.
Read up and educate yourself about matters and focus your energy on the positive.
I can see right now what your reply is going to be; similar to your many pre-emptive postings.
Keep it coming; I'm sure you are entertaining to many others.

Actually the real loser will be Iran, this is starting to look life Afghanistan in the 80s, Iran will bleed men and a lot of cash (billion a month) , Russian are making money but also losing a lot of political capital. Hezbollah took the bait and it's slowly drowning in the quagmire. Can you imagine the status of Hezbollah a year from now? What the casualty figures would look like? Perhaps the Russians have even set up the trap for Hezbollah. This is gonna be long and bloody.

That's too bad, FSA-Al Qaeda and their Al Qaeda sympathizing February 14 brethren were getting ready to barbecue human hearts in celebration.

What cash is the US losing?? All paid for by the gulf, the real loser at the end of the day in this stalemate will be Iran and Hezbollah as they bleed men and a lot of money. Russia is not that crazy about Iran going nuclear either, Russia set up the trap for Hezbollah and pushed it into Syria. It is the Vietnam of Iran.

The US absolutely needs to impose a no fly zone over Turkey and Bahrain to help the peaceful, democratic revolutionaries overthrow their tyrannical terrorist regimes and restore democracy to their lands.
Long live freedom, and down with Al Qaeda and terrorism!

Hey Rafeh, when you say the Arabs should take matters into their own hands, do you then mean that the Arabs should get together and tackle the Israeli problem, or perhaps do you mean get together to get rid of the british back monarchs we are so fortunate to be blessed with.

cityboy - If the Arab countries put their act together, Israel will be running to make peace. The problem has always been the inability of the Arabs to put their house in order which allows others (be it Iran or US) to control their destiny.

Rafeh, I might tend to agree with you if you were to stop equating Iran with the americans. The americans control almost every arab government. With regards to Iran, yes it does have geo-political interests in the arab countries, can you blame them, it was the Arabs that supported Saddams attack on Iran which led to an 8 year war. The Iranians want good relations with all its neighbors and the rest of the developing world, cant say the same about the americans.

some of the options considered by the us to arm the rebels short of no fly zone:
1- provide rebels with unlimited amount of pocket mirrors to reflect the sun and blind the attacking syrian regime military aircraft pilots.
2- drop from the air thousands of playboy bunnies leaflets on syrian regime troops while attacking the rebels for distraction.
3- provide rebels with large mace spray cans for close combat situations.
4- equip rebels with heavy duty slingshots that can shoot arrows after providing them with necessary intensive training...
