Arab League Calls for U.N. Mission in SyriaPosted on Feb 12, 2012
After scrapping its own monitoring team, the Arab League on Sunday asked the U.N. Security Council to assemble a joint Arab-U.N. peacekeeping force to end the 11-month campaign of brutal repression by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that has killed more than 5,000 people. “Until when will we remain spectators?” Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said. “It is a disgrace for us as Muslims and Arabs to accept” the slaughter in Syria. Faisal did not say whether support should include sending armed forces into the country, and Western nations have downplayed the option of military intervention. —ARK

who’s getting carried away? who’s defending creeps? like NATO and what they did to Libya?
that what you want to see, tic, 100k perished? BLOODY HELL!
intervention? on the contrary: send the observers back - send even more than
before - send some blue helmets to protect them - send some honest journos -
ones confirmed not to be intelligence assets - give the world the real story - not

Why let a little thing like international treaties and conventions stand in the way.

Funny how those panty waisted zionist cheerleaders who screech the loudest about Syrian human rights abuses and clamor for Assads blood are remarkedly silent about the egregious human rights violations of the various arab ‘kingdoms’ and the criminal state of Israel whose record number of UN condemnations make Syrian matters minor in comparison.
Toads not frogs.

dog—-” whatever it is, it’s not for outsiders to say what it should be”
why not?
anyone who’s a Syrian citizen who questions it is liable to catch a bullet, dog, so
you’re effectively putting a fascist dictatorship into the status of being beyond
question.
I can understand that you don’t want the other Arab states calling for jihad against

RE: ...source of legitimacy for the Assads?
whatever it is, it’s not for outsiders to say what it should be - clearly, the stated goal of the
regime-change mission (democracy, social justice, etc.) is a lie - it’s the globalist hegemons
who are in need of reform
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nA6afX5BKwM
as for R2P, clearly it’s ‘burden of proof’ is severely inadequate, as became clear in Libya, when
both HRW and AI recanted their allegations (after NATO had perished over 50k civilians) -
allegations the UN never bothered to investigate on the ground
now the article at least admits the Arab League Observer Mission (after not delivering the
desired and expected report) is being scape-goated

MOSCOW, (Source: SANA) – Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov regretted the Arab
League’s decision to suspend the work of the Arab monitors’ mission, adding that sending a
peacekeeping mission needs Syria’s approval in the first place.
In a joint press conference with his Emirati counterpart Abdullah Bin Zayed in Moscow, Lavrov
stressed his country’s rejection of any foreign interference in Syria’s internal affairs.
He added that it is a must to seek solutions in Syria away from foreign interference in its
internal affairs, in addition to supporting efforts to reach peaceful solutions.
He stressed the need to provide all support to conduct a comprehensive dialogue that satisfies
all spectrums of the Syrian society.
Lavrov called for ceasing all forms of violence in Syria including the practices of the armed
groups. Regarding the AL decision to send a peacekeeping mission to Syria, Lavrov said that
Moscow requires the Arab countries to provide more clarifications in this regard.

“The United States, the United Kingdom, Qatar, and the new Libyan
Government, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, France, have for months financed, armed,
trained insurgents, supplied mercenary fighters to the so called Free Syrian
Army, and in all possible ways violated international law. It is stunning that
these nations would at all sponsor a resolution against a government of a
country, against which they admittedly are waging war.”
THAT"S about as dishonest and/or stupid as things get.
A) there’s nothing to prove that all those countries did all those things.
B) anything or nothing violates “international law”...... it might as well read
“intergalactic law” .....unless the asshole who wrote this thing can cite a

it’s bullshit

Syrians are peacefully assembling on a daily basis. In fact they assemble in the
hundreds of thousands, protesting the NATO Led aggression, thanking Russia
for it´s integrity and support against NATO´s attempt to do with Syria what it
did to Libya with the aid of a UNSC Resolution, celebrating their President and
Syria, protesting against the foreign mercenaries that murder and commit the
very acts which the resolution implicitly blames on the Syrian government.

The Arab League (sounds like the Justice League)?
Let me get this straight; The Arabic League (Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar…); countries where no one votes are calling for free and fair election in Syria?
Noam Chomsky once called the Arabic League a collection of Dictators and Despots that do not represent the people of the Middle East.
What we are watching is the Arabic Spring being hijacked to re-colonize the region. Libya, Syria, Iran; that is the plan!
Mike Huckabee once accused Obama of not being able to view Colonialism through “Western” (white) eyes due to his Kenyan heritage and the Mau Mau Rebellion.
http://mediamatters.org/blog/201103030017
Obama being weak of spirit has spent much of his time showing the “good old boys” of Colonialism (French, British) that he can be just as “brutal” with the “savages” as they were in the good old days of empire.
