My Comment: WND is reporting the take over of the Christian Village last week, where the rebels seized a Christian Village and threatened the Christians with beheading, killed many, and the west was silent. One of the vilagers was quoted as saying ‘Where is Obama to see how we are treated.’ I would like to know the answer to that question also. He and his administration think the rebels are great and should be funded,armed and commended. The CIA is training the rebels. This back and forth, does nothing to help the people of Syria. And I can’t believe that our leaders are at the head of this movement. I sincerely hope and pray they work out a solution that does not include war, but this political roller coaster has to stop. Do you think that they underestimated the American People and the rest of the world? Do you suppose they know that no one in the public will support this? Now they have to back track. ‘PROFESSING TO BE WISE THEY BECAME FOOLS’
Syria “welcomes” Russia’s proposal for President Bashar al-Assad’s regime to put its chemical weapons under international control, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem told reporters in Moscow on Monday.
Russia urged Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Monday to put his nation’s chemical weapons stockpile under international control as part of an effort to head off a possible military strike from the United States.
Sergey Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, said his country would urge Syria to take the action if it would avert a military response from the United States. There was no immediate reaction from the Syrian government.
Lavrov’s comments came the same day Secretary of State John Kerry seemed to endorse a similar course of action.
Assad “could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week,” Kerry said during a news conference with British Foreign Secretary William Hague. “But he isn’t about to do it and it can’t be done obviously.”
Kerry made the remark in London during the final stop of a trip that also included stops in Lithuania and France with the international response to the Assad regime’s alleged use of chemical weapons dominating the conversation.
