دمشق تطلب الإنضمام لمنظمة حظر الاسلحة الكيميائية والأسد لن ينفذ المبادرة الروسية قبل وقف "تهديدات" واشنطن

Today is a special day! Bless you president Assssad for being a man of integrity and honesty. Those who doubted you are now confused and in disarray at your noble unprecedented decision. You have taught world leaders that politics can be honest when it serves the interests of the people. Soar high my president, soar like an eagle, like a lion with wings, like an angel. Bless you

Yeah he gave up his precious deterrent weapons in order to stay in power and oppress the innocent syrian people.

exactly... as i have said America and Israel have been trying to get those weapons .. and now they have it without a finger lifted or a penny spent...
yet some see this as a good will gesture from Assad and a victory.. nobody but Israel won.. and defeated Assad.

Spin doctors... spin away..

"President Bashar al-Assad said in an interview with Russian television Thursday that Syria would place its chemical weapons under international control but emphasized the move was prompted by Moscow, not U.S. threats of military action,"

OF COURSE YOU DID NOT GET SCARED! YOU ARE AN ASSAD IN LEBANON AND ....

Isn't it interesting, no matter what happens in the Middle East, you "Southern" manage to turn things around so that Israel is to blame.
Isn't it time that you realise that certain things happen without Israeli intervention or influence.
Do you honestly believe that if Israel were really interested in making sure that Syria was not a danger to the existance of Israel, she would have sat quiet for over two years and let that murderer Assad kill over 100,000 of his own countrymen.

not only do you steal pics.. but have no common sense in understanding key events.. Assad lost his last deterrent against Israel.. his armed forces would not last SIX days against Israel.. this is nothing but a defeat handed to him by his "ally". he bowed to pressure, and feared the military threat that could severely limit his ability to keep up his offensive. If you want to call this poker, he just folded pocket rockets..

really? lol

FT, I agree with your analysis. The US is doing its interest. Obama had talked about a red line and that was the use of chemical weapons and today they forced him to give up this arsenal. Why should the US fight for democracy in Syria if it is not in its interest?
Who cares anyway!
In Lebanon, we should also do what is in our interest and the first thing to do is to leave our differences aside and unite in these dangerous times. We have great challenges, (refugees, Lebanese parties getting involved in Syria, etc.) and great opportunities (oil&gas, technology, tourism, etc.).
I suggest that we stop talking about M14, M8, Tayyar, Hezbollah, Mustaqbal, LF, stop the divide. Let's start a movement from the Naharnet forum to push and lobby for this.

Resistance Shmesistance...Assad and his junta are in it for the power and the money. Nothing else. He is a petty dictator that has no value except being a great border guard to Israel.
The regime will give up anything and kill every Syrian and Lebanese just to stay in power. That is their plan and nothing else.

Yes you are right. Assad is a great poker player. Obama shouted booo and Assad showed all the other players his cards. That is a new way of playing poker that I shall endeavour to learn.

Baha Men used to sing in 2000 "who let the dogs out...".

In 2013 we can sing "who let the giraffe out..."

It wasn't me!

Amen Samy.

The only thing they're resisting is arrest.....

Nothing else!

Definitely pathetic (hence sad) Ruby Tuesday.

They try hard to let Lebanese expats think these M8ers views represent the vast majority of our views. We expats, quite the contrary, the exact opposite of them. The worst is that they're getting paid for this........ Ya latif. May god preserve us from falling this law.

Because its supper time and we're hungry...... We wouldn't mind a burger right now!

all this is part of a big show... never the usa wanted to oust bashar, so useful he is at keeping israel safe. the russians gave obama the opportunity to get out of the mess he fell in by avoiding him the strikes over syria... if the usa or israel wanted bashar out they would have done it much much earlier instead of procrastinating!

in the logic of the M8ers bashar should be called a zionist as he keeps israel safe from any bombing for decades!

Had enough of this chameleon and how he manipulates / delays.
He learned a bit from his father.
Hope the US will not give him much time.
It's either now or pay the price for your mass murders.

Mr. Assad: And Russia came up and presented this option to you because of...?

ft, you say "... this article shows that the US is once again, dumping its allies". Too late, you're dealing with Obama who already told the world five years ago he does not want the U.S. to take a leading role in foreign affairs, specially Middle East. U.S. administrations come and go. By the way, how come the U.S. doesn't dump its ally, Israel? Woow scary Zionists! How come the Arabs with all their oil money and purchasing power have not been able to get together and slap their hands. Terrorism is much easier, isn't it?

Vote whether U.S. should strike or not:
