Assad says will live and die in Syria
Reuters - November 8, 2012


DOHA (Reuters) - President Bashar al-Assad said he would "live and die" in Syria and warned that any Western invasion to topple him would have catastrophic consequences for the Middle East and beyond.
========================================================

Syria's president, Assad, thus adopts the words of the Libyan martyr, Gaddafi, who declared he would "live and die" in Libya and who died at the hands of US and EU supported thugs following extreme torture and with a bayonet driven up his ass.

And it was US Secretary of State, Gentlelady and ex-First Lady of the US, Hilary Clinton,
who had called for Gaddafi's death and who is now seeking that of Assad.
Some few will remember the Gentlelady saying we wanted Gaddafi "dead or alive" and who ,
after Gaddafi's death by torture, proudly proclaimed:

"We came, we saw and he died."

I now proclaim Gaddafi's death, and Hilary's past and present tactics, as

"Hilarian"

and call upon you to witness that I coined the term in her honor.

Assad not in a co-operative mood...

Syria's Assad vows he won't be forced into exile
Nov 8,`12 -- The bravado sounded familiar. Like the leaders of other countries swept away by Arab Spring uprisings, Syrian President Bashar Assad vowed to never be forced into exile and to die in his homeland.

Assad dug in his heels even as world powers move to boost the opposition in Syria's civil war - the latest turn in a nearly 20-month-old crisis so overwhelming that even the Red Cross says it can no longer cope. "I am not a puppet, I was not made by the West for me to go to the West or any other country," Assad said in an interview with Russia Today, which posted excerpts Thursday on its website. "I am Syrian, I am made in Syria, and I will live and die in Syria."

The rare interview - in which the 47-year-old president spoke in English with his words translated into Arabic - was posted online two days after British Prime Minister David Cameron suggested that Assad could be allowed safe passage out of Syria if that would guarantee an end to the civil war. The full interview will be broadcast Friday, the TV station said. It was not clear when or where it took place. Assad was seen in a gray suit and tie, casually talking and also walking with RT's reporter outside a house.

Assad has made only a few appearances public since the revolt began in March 2011. Last month, state TV showed him praying on the floor of a Damascus mosque for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. As the two sides battle for the upper hand, civilians are bearing the brunt of the crisis.

Peter Maurer, the head of the Geneva-based International Committee of the Red Cross, said the civil war has been in a downward spiral for months. "We can't cope with the worsening of the situation," Maurer said. "The seriousness of the crisis is deepening with every day and this trend has been uninterrupted since summer." The Red Cross has improved its transportation and logistics, making it easier to bring in truckloads of food and medicine, but it has become overwhelmed by the dire need of hundreds of thousands of people struggling inside Syria, he said.

Red Cross says it cannot cope with Syria emergency
8 November 2012 - Rabab Al Rifai, of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Syria: ''Humanitarian needs are on the rise''

The Red Cross has said it "can't cope" with the worsening situation in Syria. "The humanitarian situation is getting worse despite the scope of the operation increasing," said Peter Maurer, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Meanwhile, President Assad has told Russian TV that he will not leave Syria as suggested by the UK prime minister. It comes as Syria's divided opposition groups are meeting in Doha to discuss uniting under a new leadership body. "I am not a puppet, I wasn't made by the West. I'm Syrian... and I have to live and die in Syria," Mr Assad told the Russia Today TV channel.

He warned that if Syria were to be invaded by foreign troops "the price would be too big" for the rest of the world. "If we have a problem in Syria - and we are the last stronghold of secularism, stability and co-existence in the region - it will have a domino effect from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He said he believed the West wouldn't move in that direction, but added: "If they do so, nobody can tell what's (going to happen) next."

Blank spots

Mr Maurer said the conflict was causing more casualties and making it difficult for the ICRC to reach victims. There are currently "a lot of blank spots" and an unknown number of people were not getting access to the aid they needed, Mr Maurer added. The ICRC has not been able to get to certain parts of the country, he added, giving as an example the city of Aleppo, which has been badly hit by violence in recent months. Its personnel were able to access some districts of the flashpoint city of Homs last week, which Mr Maurer said was a major success.

The constantly moving nature of the conflict meant the Red Cross could not plan but instead had to seize opportunities for aid delivery on a day-to-day basis, Mr Maurer said. His comments come a day before UN diplomats and aid agencies are due discuss the issue of access to Syria at a meeting in Geneva. On Wednesday, a Syrian medical group claimed that up to 95% of foreign medical aid supplies were being diverted into the hands of government forces - a statement that the ICRC says is so far unsubstantiated, the BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva reports.

Strong pressure

 

[shock]

The past, but not the present, history of the Red Cross shows that it was created as an Agency that could, and was not afraid to, go where other entities could not and/or would not go.

Perhaps the Red Crescent will replace this new Red Cross.

THE CALL TO CAMERON & KERRY OR RICE FOR NETANYAHU

Returning to the call to Cameron, the UK prime minister, did not call Obama to offer congratulations.
Instead, for some undisclosed reason,it was Obama who called Cameron who then congratulated Obama on Obama's re-election. Whatever else was said, their conversation, however cordial, is said to have lasted but about five minutes.


We have yet to learn whether Obama has been offered another Nobel peace prize.


We understand Netanyahu meant to call but we are not sure what he would call Obama if he did call, but word is that Netanyahu and Romney have spent so much time reviewing the bidding that Netanyahu may not, as yet, have called Obama to tell Obama whether he would prefer Kerry or Rice as successor to Clinton, whose Hilarian policies have made her so persona non gratis in so many places

Analysts Weigh In on Longevity of Syria's Assad
November 22, 2012 — The Syrian conflict is now in its 20th month and Syrian rights activists say more than 40,000 people have been killed there since the uprising began. The embattled government of President Bashar al Assad appears to be on the defensive, having lost a number of military bases recently. Some analysts view these developments as a sign that the fall of his government is not far off, while others see a stalemate and a protracted conflict.

New amateur video shows a group of rebel fighters capturing an artillery base in the eastern desert province of Deir ez Zor. Rebels and Syrian rights activists say the Mayadeen military base and the surrounding countryside are under rebel control Thursday after days of fighting. Rami Abdel Rahman of the opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the capture of the artillery base puts large swathes of eastern Syria out of government control.

Claiming territory

He said that rebel fighters gained control of the artillery battalion in Mayideen after a three-week siege of government soldiers. This, he said, gives the rebels large chunks of territory east of the Iraqi border. Rebel fighters also recently captured an anti-aircraft defense base in southern Damascus, as well as an artillery battalion near Aleppo. The rebels, however, failed in their attempt to capture an air base in Aleppo province after heavy government aerial bombing.

Abdel Rahman said battlelines inside Syria's commercial hub city of Aleppo remain static, despite ongoing clashes between rebels and government troops in a number of places. Workers in Aleppo clear rubble from a collapsed building after government warplanes bombed it. Witnesses say the collapsed building is adjacent to one of the few remaining medical clinics, forcing it to shut down.

Nasty offensive

So, what should the US do? Back Assad? Support him? Arm him?
