Syria Rejects New Arab League Peace Mission Proposal


Syria has “categorically rejected” an Arab League resolution calling for a joint Arab-UN peacekeeping mission to end the country’s 11-month conflict.

Yusuf Ahmed, Syria’s envoy in Cairo, said the plan “reflected the hysteria of these governments”.

The EU on Monday backed the Arab League’s “bold” plan but Russia said violence must end before any peacekeepers could be sent.

The UN General Assembly is set for a key debate on the crisis in Syria.

UN human rights chief Navi Pillay, who has been sharply critical of the actions of President Bashar al-Assad’s government, is expected to address the assembly.

The Arab League said it was ending all diplomatic co-operation with Syria, and promised to give “political and material support” to the opposition.

    Well if the Saudi's want to funnel in weapons I am sure we can get them there through either Turkey or Iraq. Syria being Shiite and the most of the rest Sunni we might see a war between the two which would greatly benefit us.

      Tradition has it that when not killing Kafir, the two major Muslim sects kill each oyher om=n Holy days and it their Mosques. Syria is run by Shia. The Arab league is Sunni. Death ti the herratics. Once Sunnis are in charge, we can work on pronouncing Muslim Brotherhood
      There will be nor Democracy in Syria// Minor point is that Strong man middle east governments kept the Muslim Brotherhood vermin ( plague) thinned out
      We need to work on understanding that the goal is a World Caliphate

    Sit back and let them kill each other off. Have we learned nothing about this culture? When WE intervene, they stop killing each other only long enough to unite against us. These people have been fighting each other since the dawn of Islam, if they can't get along with "their own" how can any sane person think they will "get along" with anyone from the (mostly) civilized parts of the planet?

    Muslims are not interested in peace.

      No, you are right, right now, they are interested in owning America. If they accomplish that they will be doing to us what they are doing to each other, killing each other by the million.
