Sorry, I meant an object of greater derision.

Only the Guardian will call this a police vehicle, they were never very street wise when it came to Arab countries.

Seems it is all a CIA/MI6/Mossad plot, not Assad killing his own people. Who would have thought it! http://rt.com/news/syria-terrorism-c...ilization-863/ |

A: A wanted war criminal.

The Syrian civil war is going to get worse before it gets better (see Libya, Iraq & Lebanon for hints of how Invented arab countries disintegrate)

I suppose his main goal is to bring the Arab League observers back alive out of Syria.
I agree this guy is the last one I would have chosen to lead this mission; maybe people thimk he is "expendable".

| | | | | Sensitive Iranian assets? Now that does sound interesting 
About " Russia has pledged aircraft carriers and ships to protect Syria against any potential external threat."
About time the rebels started talking to the Russians about them keeping their base after any regime change.

I read the article now. What a dim idea "A Syrian opposition figure on Thursday called on the Arab League to hold talks with Russia "
The Russians are a pragmatic people.
The Syrian opposition should simply say to the Russians "Stay neutral & you keep your military base & your commercial deals & relationships.
If you support the Govt. then you will lose your military base & your commercial deals & relationships"

As it looks from the news, the Russians are in talk with the opposition and have been so for quite a while

I forecast the Russians will not have a military base in Syria in 12 months.

Tunisia expels Syria's ambassador and no longer recognizes the regime of Assad. I guess more arab countries will follow (probably Libya).
