Brahimi Tells U.N. Assad Regime May Survive but Legitimacy Seriously Damaged
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The worsening Syrian war is "breaking up" the country while the international community watches, peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi told the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday.
Diplomats inside a closed briefing by Brahimi said he had "no progress" to report in his efforts to establish talks on a political transition in the country where 22 months of conflict have left more than 60,000 dead.
He also told the council that Syrian President Bashar Assad might be able to cling to power for now, but noted that "the Syrian regime's legitimacy has been seriously, probably irreparably, damaged."

Funny thing is the syrian people dont like the so called fsa...they steal, murder, rape and kill. As 4 Bashar, he is all in. GANA have some scores 2 settle with Qatar, saudi and there paid 4 criminals. Cant emagine the number of Lebanese that will move to france when this game is over.

So what i understand from your comment is that if bashar makes it, which is impossible, people who dislike him should move. Why should they ya fawaz? Ur the one saying that bashar is great and respects his opponents and critics. So you mean that he will kill his opponents in lebanon. You just unknowingly implied that bashar is a muderer and kikks his opponents otherwise why shoud they run? And the fact that you are cheering him on to kill your fellow lebanese means that you are the lowest of mankind. A cockroach has more honor and pride than you.

if i sent fighters and weapons into syria to try to kill bashar, when he survives i would expect he does the same against me.
now if you want to raise the "sovereignty" card to try to get all lebanese to protect you after your gamble went sour, you can forget about it. other lebanese asked you to stay out of syria, you didnt, now it's your problem deal with it alone.

okay nevermind making rational points, we know it's beyond you. and it's okay if you want to insult, we know that's the only way street thugs know how to talk, but do you also HAVE to be sectarian in your comments?

i can't believe it, but he could stay. too many syrians hate the towelhead limp chopping rebels. if it weren't for rebel backwardness, assad would have been disposed of along time ago. salafi trail stops now, watch what will happen to saudi arabia next, bahrain's king is doomed.

Something deeper is happening here. Russia and Brahimi aren't talking. Something was said between Brahimi and ASSad. Whatever it was ASSad is digging in for the long fight. When he falls he will receive no passage out now. Only maybe to Iran if he can make it. Otherwise the sewer pipe will be waiting for him.

a couple of years ago bashar was done with, iot was "a matter of days". then a bit later he only had a few weeks left, then a few months, now he "might" remain... hum... time is an interesting concept it seems...
i bet hariri is happy, now he knows he can soon return to lebanon through damascus airport, but he'll have to kiss bashar's feet on the way ;)
