Syria: The choice of Western capitals

American commentators converge in the interpretation of this event with estimates of the White House. But on the question of what to do next, the opinions of the administration and the press begin to disperse. According to the White House spokeswoman, the Barack Obama administration will continue to cooperate with other countries and representatives of the Syrian opposition in order to put pressure on the Syrian regime, to resolve the crisis with the help of political measures. American experts, like some leading media, believe that the moment has matured for more decisive actions on the part of the United States, since right now the fate of Syria can be decided.

The NBC television company sent its television group to the rebels. In a series of reports shown in the most popular evening news program, correspondents talk about how opposition detachments refuse to attacks government forces due to the lack of ammunition. The annoyed commander of one of the detachments says in a television interview that the only proposal to help with weapons and money came from Al-Qaeda and he will be forced to accept it, to speak under the flag of al-Qaeda despite the fact that he personally does not experience any sympathy for the terrorist organization. But the money used to fight the enemy does not smell.

Many American experts warn that the leading capitals must combine efforts so as not to allow al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations to use the fruits of the opposition’s victory, victory, which looks inevitable.

“It is quite possible that al-Qaeda has leaked into the Syrian opposition groups,” says Daniel Gure , a former pentagon, “but can one expect otherwise, given that this is, in fact, the only source of assistance for these groups, because the West refuses to provide them with serious support.” Now it becomes obvious that if we do not want to turn Syria into a stronghold of terrorism, we must provide opposition with serious large -scale support. I think this should be done not only by the Western capitals, but also by Russia. The time has come for Moscow to rethink its position, which consists in unambiguous support of Assad .

- What can be said about the possible development of the situation in Syria, based on the information available to us?

- In Syria, everything can follow the worst scenario if the regime continues to fight for survival. I believe that the UN Security Council should adopt a resolution as soon as possible, which contains a threat to the use of real pressure measures to Assad. A resolution similar to the one supported by the United States and its allies and which Russia and China constantly reject. Assad must clearly see that he had no supporters. If the warning does not work, we must begin full -scale training and preparation of opposition forces, the supply of weapons necessary for the confrontation of government forces, ”says Daniel Gure.
