Assad may stay? UN gives in to Russia

[ktlight]

"The draft resolution on Syria under discussion at the UN Security Council is reportedly being softened to take into account Russian concerns. It's likely to have references to President Assad stepping down, and an arms embargo removed from the text. RT's Marina Portnaya reports from New York.
RT also talks to Michel Chossudovsky, Director at the Center for Research on Globalization."

Thanks for that, ktlight.....looks light Russia (and China?) are finally stamping their mark on the UN...and trying to draw a line under the UN's recent biased slant and political shenanagans.

I was, frankly...utterly disgusted with the whole Libya episode. It brought shame on the International 'Community' generally and the UN specifically.

I know.....bloody NATO....fighting on the same side as Al Qaeda. sheeesh. What's all THAT about????

I was ashamed of Britain and our pathetic politicians re. Libya (etc)

I was so mad about it...that if I could have got near David Cameron/William Hague I would have tried to do a citizen's arrest on them....but that was just fantasy because I could never have got any where near them.


ps....lol....cheers.

after Imbolc I thought I'd 'lighten up'....as we head for the blossoming of spring. I saw a Magpie tidying up it's nest yesterday.

smoke and mirrors, ie. was it a deal? or is it just to give the false impression the UN isn't under US manipulation and control?... while the elite puppet masters take a breather?... point is, who really knows what their motive is for "giving in to Russian concerns"... don't trust these political bureaucrats as far as I could throw em...

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain is recalling its ambassador to Syria for consultations as a diplomatic protest against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's crackdown on protesters, Foreign Secretary William Hague said on Monday.

The Syrian ambassador in London was also summoned to the Foreign Office to hear a British protest over the violence in Syria, Hague told parliament.

The moves come after Russia and China vetoed a U.N. resolution on Saturday that backed an Arab plan calling on Assad to quit, a move Hague called a grave error of judgment by Moscow and Beijing and a "betrayal of the Syrian people."

"I have today recalled to London our ambassador in Damascus for consultations," Hague said.

Calling the Syrian government "a doomed regime as well as a murdering regime," Hague said there was no way it could recover its credibility internationally or with its own people.

He welcomed the idea of a new Arab-led group of "Friends of Syria" and said Britain would be "a highly active member in setting up such a group with the broadest possible international support."

The United States and France have both floated the idea of a "Friends of Syria" or a contact group to tackle the Syria crisis after the deadlock at the United Nations.

"The aim of such a group will be to demonstrate the strength of international support for the people of Syria and their legitimate demands, to coordinate intensified diplomatic and economic pressure on the regime, and to engage with Syrian opposition groups committed to a democratic future for the country," Hague said........
