President Obama must promise not to arm rebel forces or Syrian dictator Bashar Assad will not hand over his chemical weapons, the embattled leader told a Russian state media outlet today while demanding that Israel also surrender its nuclear arsenal.
“When we see that the U.S. genuinely stands for stability in our region, stops threatening us with military intervention and stops supplying terrorists with weapons, then we will consider it possible to finalize all necessary procedures and they will become legitimate and acceptable for Syria," Assad told RIA News.
Screw this guy. Just let the cruise missiles fly.
Talk like this suggests the disarmament plan is nothing but a play for time.
The terrorists cannot continue to be armed by the US if they wish for peace in Syria.
Therefore, it's best to just let Assad's forces kill people left and right without resistance?

This is exactly what I expected; especially the demand of Israel. That came from Iran.

This is a no win situation for the US. If we help the rebels, we risk the extremists coming in. We should just mind our own business for once.
Still trying to tie Obama's hands. You guys in the GOP just won't quit helping America's enemies.

Obama has been helping Americas enemies! They were installed in Egypt, then Libya and he's trying to get them in power in Syria.
Dude! We don't risk them coming in, they're in. The CIA has been training them and arming them in camps in both Jordan and Turkey and sending them in.

"The United States accepts no preconditions for Syria relinquishing the chemical weapons it used against civilians in recent attacks. Either Assad makes the right decision and gives up his illegal, indiscriminate weapons, or he continues down the path of ignoring international law and the will of the world community. If so, the U.S. will use force to punish him, and to send a message to other tyrants who would use illegal weapons. You will not get away with it."
My suggested text of a speech Obama will never give.
Well that didn't last long. I guess star-eyed Putin sympathizers can now wake back up to reality after, what, 4 days or so? Just enough time for Russia to flood arms into Syria on a scale that dwarfs our own. Brilliant, foreign policy advisers to the Pres. Brilliant.

The US could have helped with that problem 2-1/2 years ago, its late now. Best thing is to stop arming the terrorists. I thought we were fighting a war on terror. Assad is now fighting his own war on terror, and the US is interfering. So, pass this one to Putin, let him deal with it. I love how people stand on that moral ground of we have to help the civilians by wishing to arm terrorists who are killing civilians.
I figured the whole thing was a ruse between Assad and Putin to buy time for Syria to shift its chemical weapon stockpiles. Lying assholes are lying assholes, film at 11:00. :shrug:
You may be correct. This is getting out of hand and it will only get worse, since Russia and Iran are on the side of Assad not for his benefit, but for theirs.
Assad could have been an ally of the US. Getting rid of him will create a power vacuum that Iran and Al Qaeda will fight over, with Russia on the side of Iran, which they will win. And then... then... Israel will be in true danger, given that the current US leadership will not take on Russia or Iran, much less both at the same time. Saudi Arabia and all the other Sunni nations will be on the side of Al Qaeda.
Of course it is a play for time, it never was anything else.
What did anyone expect Assad to do? Obama has painted himself into a corner, the UN will never say go
congress will never say go so it is then up to Obama to either stand down or have his dopey "mini war" which will not remove Assad from power, but will leave Syria a more complete mess.
