France, Britain fail to win easing of Syria arms ban. EU foreign Ministers To Discuss lifting Arms Embargo to Syrian FSA Brigades,Public Against Arming.
Britain and France on Friday failed to rally broad European Union support to arm Syria's rebels despite escalating concern over the use of chemical weapons in the conflict that has entered its third year.
There were variety of views between EU foreign ministers. "The discussion was not conclusive."
Debate over whether to lift an existing EU arms embargo in order to supply arms, including ground-to-air missiles and other heavy weaponry, to insurgents fighting President Bashar al-Assad, would continue "for another couple of months", Hague said.
An agreement is needed by May 31 to renew a far-reaching package of EU sanctions against the Assad regime, including the near two-year-old embargo. If not agreed unanimously by the EU-27 it will expire. The ministers are scheduled to meet a couple of times at least before then.
This remains to be seen which is stated by Hague on whatever or not the ministers will indeed be scheduled to meet a couple of times at least before the expiration of the arms embargo. It is as if the France and British are reading Scripts and dont know the reality on the ground in Syria. How many more meetings would Britain and France need in order for them to get the message that European members do not want to escalate.
The Syrian Conflict into a prolonged bloodshed. Belgium's Foreign Minister Didier had argued with Hague and Fabius had said the European Union wasn't created to wasn't created to deliver arms, (with the exception of Croatia and the Libyan conflict)
After sharp divisions over the Balkans in the 1990s and Iraq in 2003, Britain and France first went it alone in Libya in 2011 sharp divisions over the Balkans in the 1990s and Iraq in 2003, Britain and France first went it alone in Libya in 2011.
It is highly unlikely they will attempt to reach a compromise, as they previously accomplished in 2011, unlike during the Libyan conflict several 27 EU member states have no stomach for Syria.
Under Pressure EU foreign Ministers To Discuss lifting Arms Embargo to Syrian FSA Brigades,Public Against Arming FSA.
Under pressure by Britain and France. Last month British foreign secretary William Hague persuaded EU colleagues to soften the arms embargo to allow the transfer of “non-lethal” weapons such as night-vision equipment and body armor to the rebels. The February agreement gave the Europeans wide latitude to interact with the rebels.
France and Britain have now made it clear they
intend to arm the rebels – preferably with the EU’s blessing, but
without it if necessary. The
Journal du
Dimanche
reported that the French foreign and defence ministries and
intelligence services are already preparing shipments of light weapons,
ground-to-air and anti-tank missiles. Slovenia is the only other EU
country to openly support lifting the embargo, though Belgium, the
Netherlands and Luxembourg are reportedly leaning towards the
Franco-British position that it is immoral to leave the opposition
defenceless.
The France are arming the Free Syrian Army Brigades trough by shipments of light weapons,
ground-to-air and anti-tank missiles. according to the report by the
Journal du
Dimanche. According to a report by euobserver. (unconfirmed source)
The
euobserver stated that Germany is considering changing the Arms Embargo in order which would allow the unknown FSA Brigades to receive arms by the EU countries, however the euobserver states no source where they had quoted German foreign minister Westerwell. In the article it makes no mention of arming, expect for.
German foreign minister Westerwelle said: They have two goals: to help and protect the people who suffer and to avoid a conflagration causing a chain reaction in the region." Although in the German media thelocal portrayed it in a different tone. Germany's foreign minister is no longer ruling out that the
country could supply weapons to the Syrian opposition, he told a daily
newspaper on Friday. The report by the German newspaper stated if the that should the embargo be lifted, the situation in Syria could escalate.
What it is being stated it's pretty much a convincing truth. The convincing truth is which the one Sen John McCain and his pal Sen Lindsey Graham cant comprehend.

The more arms which flow into Syria the more devastating the conflict would further be.
The Majority of American,France and British are Against Arming Free Syrian Army Brigades.
According an binational YouGov-Cambridge poll, Britons, by a 59-point margin (68%-9%), reject the idea of military intervention in Syria with the aim of toppling Assad’s government.

According an binational YouGov-Cambridge poll, Britons, by a 59-point margin (68%-9%), reject the idea of military intervention in Syria with the aim of toppling Assad’s government.
In
the US, the Americans are against the idea of regime change in Syria
through foreign military intervention by a 26-point margin (42%-16%),
the survey says.
Even though this poll by the binational YouGov-Cambridge remains questionable due to its own finding that the public is agaisnt arming the fighters but highly supportive of an military intervention into Syria.
For the intervention hawks such as with Senator John McCain in the US and increasingly Cameron himself in
Britain, there is another encouraging finding. Respondents on both sides
of the Atlantic are in favour of "enforcing a no-fly zone over Syria so
the Syrian air force cannot attack rebels or civilians". In the UK that
proposition wins public support by a 43-point margin, with 61% in
favour and 18% against. In the US there is a 50% to 18% majority behind
the same proposition.

18%
Makes you question on who is polling who in this poll, this binational YouGov-Cambridge poll remains strongly in favor of the Tores no matter of the consequences whatever they are military or economical.
In the public square, a YouGov-Cambridge survey of British voters in
mid-July indicated there is roughly as much opposition (37%) as support
(36%) for the UK government's intervention in Libya, with another
quarter of the population either ambivalent or unsure. Party political
preferences are not material here, though unsurprisingly Conservative
voters are far more supportive (70%) of Prime Minister Cameron's
performance than are Labour voters (26%)
Despite what the YouGov-Cambridge survey claims we should question the credible of the poll itself due to the nature that it claims that the British public are in favor of an military intervention into Syria.

Free Syrian Army Islamist Brigade Have Supposedly Attacked an Palestinian Outpost in Syria.
An Video posted onto YouTube shows a brand of Free Syrian Army Islamist dawn of Islam Brigade attacking Palestinian Outpost in Syria.
However according to the YouTube link the title of the video states "Entering Hajana Company in Kharab Al-Shahm, Daraa" as posted by a sock puppet user on the guardian a user by the name of Robot Nick.
He further claims.
"perhaps more significant then the base itself is the fact that it is reported to be on the Jordanian border, which has implications for the flow of supplies to the rebels."
However other videos show that it is located near South Golan border not the Jordanian border. Other videos of the attack by the dawn of Islam Brigade shows that they attacked an outpost with just a single T 72 tank which is no doubly not functional.
(Video included hyper linked in)
In a video obtained by the Associated Press. The general of the main rebel group pledged to fight until the "criminal" regime was gone.
General Salim Idris, the head of the Supreme Military Council, called on Syrian soldiers to join the rebels in a "fight for freedom and democracy" in a video obtained by the Associated Press.
In the same video obtained by the Associated Press. He further claimed that the Free Syrian Army was fighting for freedom and democracy for all Syrian people, be they Sunni, Shia, Alawites, Christians or Druze.
Which the video marked Friday's second anniversary since the start of anti-Assad uprising that spiraled into large-scale clashes between the rebels and the army.
In the video it seems that General Salim Idris, the head of the Supreme Military Council makes no mention on the future of the Syrian Kurds, or those Kurds for which have being living in northern Syria for decades.
How can General Salim Idris claim that Free Syrian Army is fighting for all Syrian people, be they Sunni, Shia, Alawites, Christians or Druze if the FSA are attacking Christian Churches? and forbidding them from entering into their own homes in some rebel held areas. Further more, there has being no Christian brigade that is in Syria which has being fighting along side the Free Syrian Army.
The ironic part of the Associated Press article is for which they had used an "Think Tank" analyst at the Brookings Doha Center. Another member from the same Think Tank group, one of their analyst whom had verbally attacked an activist whom is living Aleppo. It was ridiculous that he had to cheek To question someone living through the conflict in Aleppo.
After the heated exchange "H" from the Brookings Doha Center. Didn't further continue the exchange, this is what the ironic part of the Associated Press article, AP had contact someone from the Based in Doha, Qatar, the Brookings Doha Center (BDC)
In order to give readers this one single POV from a person who doesn't know what's happening on the ground in Syria.
"Bashar Assad really does not feel that he is about to lose anytime soon," said Salman Shaikh, an analyst at the Brookings Doha Center. "He feels there is no Western resolve up to now. He feels he's got enough forces."In the article it. Khalid Saleh, a spokesman for the main political opposition group in exile, the Syrian National Coalition, was more optimistic.
Not an Very Democratic Process
He claimed that said those trying to bring down Assad have momentum on their side.
The 72-member leadership of the coalition meets next week in Istanbul to choose a prime minister, who would set up an interim government to run rebel-held areas, mainly in the north and east of the country, Saleh said. The government would operate from Turkey and the rebel-controlled areas, he added.
"Probably within the next six months, we will have the government in Damascus," Saleh said from Istanbul. After fighting ends, Syria will have to go through a healing process of several years, he said. "I am definitely optimistic," he added.
Notice the language which Khalid Saleh had used. The same language which was used for Libya.
-72-member leadership of the coalition meets next week in Istanbul to choose a prime minister
Not a very democratic process, if the new prime minister will be decided by the language 72-member leadership of the Syrian National Council, then surely he will not speak for the interests of Syrians but rather by the interests of the people who created the Syrian National Council by Hillary Clinton.
-Who would set up an interim government to run rebel-held areas, mainly in the north and east of the country, Saleh said.
Basically the puppet installed interim government would run areas which are mainly ruined, destroyed neighborhoods, abandoned areas, countryside. And several few Turkish border which is a supply line for the Free Syrian Army and an attack radius agaisnt the Kurds in the northern areas of Syria.
Apparently according to Khalid Saleh the actually interim government wont be inside those Rebel Held areas but rather The government would operate from Turkey. Its highly unlikely that this puppet interim government would actually be sent into those ruined areas.
-"Probably within the next six months"
I believe we heard this line before.
Israel's Hands on Syria, Israel Chemical Weapons Propaganda
It's unreasonable to doubt the Israel claims that Assad will be using Chemical Weapons, the Israeli news media have being claiming that Assad will be using Chemical Weapons since early 2012.
The Israeli military intelligence chief, Maj. Gen. Kochavi, warned Thursday that the regime is making advanced preparations for the use of chemical weapons, even if Assad has not yet given the orders to operate them.
The claims that that the Syrian Government is making advanced preparations for the use of chemical weapons has being claimed before in 2012. Such claims have being used before in order to justify an military invasion and occupation.
Since the Conflict 2011
Since the conflict had begin in 2011 the mainstream news outlets and their narrative view on Syria hasn't changed nor had they learned anything from the experience out of the conflict from Libya. While some news anchors had created their own propaganda agaisnt Syria.
CNN had posted several if not thousands of news articles regarding Syria and there plenty of the articles and CNN reports which raised questions. Since the conflict had started questions have raised on which FSA brigades are which thus far.
The Major Mainstream News Outlets have avoided on giving the American public and European public a list on showing the public which brigades are which, if they keep avoiding the list on which groups are which, therefore that means they are hiding something from the public and their audience.
Unreported on The Major Mainstream News Outlets, Clashes Are Still Occurring in Libya.
According to the reports from the ground in Libya on the social media clashes had occurred in the town of Mizdah, both on its western and eastern sides.
Mizdah is close to western mountains and is inhabited by the rival Guntrar and Mashashiya tribes and has a presence of Zintanis. The same Zintanis which are holding Saif al-Islam more then a year since the capture of Saif al-Islam last year.
Last time the two sides clashed was in June 2012, around 150 people had died. The majority of these clashes which are occurring in Libya including in the town of Mizdah are widely ignored by the major mainstream news outlets as none news.
On an facebook page it claims that an rebel commander who led the march onto Tripoli during the uprising has being killed, the facebook page shows what it appears to be the body of the commander.
Although but this could be a fight based on tribal rivalry and similar grievances. Both sides had claimed they were attacked first. However since the clashes have being occurring in Libya since last summer Libya shouldn't being ignored.
But unfortunately the major mainstream news outlets are avoiding making any references to the recent clashes which have being occurring over the weekend and are only making references to the minor issues. Over the weekend only few major news outlets have reported of the Egyptian Christians which were arrested by the Libyan police, whom were accused of spreading Christianity and converting Muslims
Christian Church in Benghazi Attacked by Gunman, State Media
It expressed "deep concern" over the attack, saying it was "contrary to the rules" of Islam and international human rights laws.
Libya's small Christian community has expressed fears over Islamist extremism as the government struggles to impose its authority over armed groups which have refused to lay down their weapons since the 2011 war that ousted Muammar Gaddafi.
With minorities and Christians being attacked in Libya with the delay of the Libyan constitution which at this point remains unclear with uncertainty, we still dont know nor have a clear understanding on how will the Libyan constitution turn out. But one thing is certainty.
We should approach the Libyan constitution with worry and uncertainty as parts if not all of the Libyan constitution will indeed have the sharia law.
