Will they or won’t they, agree? Will America support them or
fail to do so, again? Is it a conspiracy? If so, for what purpose? And who are
conspirators? Can anything in existence, other than our fertile (and sick) imagination,
put Israel, America, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia and China in the same camp? Let
the wonderers wonder, while the rest wallow in the death, havoc and disenchantment
that have long become an essential part of our daily lot. Hollowed Be.

Sharp
divisions arise at Syria opposition conference over US-backed plan for new
leadership Failure to reach a deal in Doha could further heighten tensions
between Syria's political opposition and the international community.
Opposition leaders feel abandoned by the U.S. and other foreign backers, saying
they are not providing the money and weapons the rebels need to defeat Assad in
a stalemated civil war. Washington and others say they can't step up aid unless
the opposition stops bickering and establishes a more representative — and
unified — leadership.

al-Assad wants war not peace reveals Syria's former prime minister Riyad Hijab
The most senior politician to defect from the Bashar al-Assad's regime has
revealed that the President repeatedly rejected calls by his own government for
a political compromise, in favour of all-out war.

BEIRUT — The West has raised fears
Syria's revolution is falling into the hands of Islamic extremists, but many
rebels, and even some peaceful activists, say they are willing to tolerate
jihadist fighters for lack of a better option.
… the assumption that civilian
activists can turn the tide alone is dubious. Assad has shown he will destroy
Syria before giving up power, and has demonstrated his resolve by repeatedly
bombing civilian neighborhoods, mosques, bakeries, and schools. Assad's thugs
are deliberately trying to stir up a sectarian war that could spill over into
neighboring countries, draw in foreign jihadis, and radicalize Syrian youths.
Already, outside money is flowing more freely to Islamist militias than to the
non-Islamist civilians and Syrian army defectors who fight under leaders such
as Akidi. The failure to help the FSA almost guarantees the result that U.S.
officials most fear.
“The U.S. has lost a lot of leverage
and it’s coming into this particular game too late,” said Ammar Abdulhamid, a
Syrian dissident and fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, a
center-right policy institute in Washington.
