إنشقاق غير مسبوق منذ أشهر: 70 ضابطا في الجيش السوري الى تركيا

Read this story in English W460

افاد مصدر رسمي تركي السبت ان اكثر من سبعين ضابطا بينهم ستة جنرالات و22 عقيدا انشقوا عن الجيش السوري النظامي في الساعات ال36 الماضية وتوجهوا الى تركيا المجاورة.

وياتي هذا الانشقاق غير المسبوق منذ اشهر عدة بعدما قررت الولايات المتحدة الخميس تقديم "مساعدة عسكرية" الى مقاتلي المعارضة السورية من دون ان تحدد ماهيتها.

واحجمت الدول الغربية التي تدعم المعارضة السورية حتى الان عن تقديم اسلحة الى المقاتلين المعارضين خشية وقوعها في ايدي عناصر متطرفة.

لكن التقدم العسكري الاخير الذي احرزته دمشق بدعم من مقاتلي حزب الله اللبناني دفع تلك الدول الى اعادة النظر في هذا القرار.

والتقى ممثلون للدول التي تدعم المعارضة السورية الجمعة والسبت في اسطنبول قائد اركان الجيش السوري الحر اللواء سليم ادريس وناقشوا معه امكانات تسليح المقاتلين المعارضين.

ومنذ بدء النزاع السوري في اذار 2011، اعلن عشرات من الضباط السوريين الكبار انشقاقهم وانضم كثيرون منهم الى صفوف الجيش السوري الحر.

وتستقبل تركيا نحو 400 الف لاجىء سوري فروا من المعارك في بلادهم والتي خلفت اكثر من 93 الف قتيل وفق الامم المتحدة.

Called cleansing of the Syrian Army of traitors and filth. This is great news.

While it is premature to celebrate the US administrations decision to provide 'military support" to the Syrian revolutionaries, it definitely is a major qualitative move by President Obama. He is a timid president and not exactly an inspiring leader but he also is a deliberate and shrewd calculator who has shown that he is not loath to grab the opportunity if and when it presented itself like when he ordered the Bin Laden raid.

To be sure, all indications up to now pointed to Obama wanting to forget the Syrian mess and sweep it under the carpet. However, he finally concluded that it is not going to go away. More importantly, that he has heretofore underestimated the importance to the US of engaging and handling the Syrian revolution. That he appointed Susan Rice as his National Security Adviser attests to the change outlined above. Does that mean that he is now ready to start sending SA missiles to the revolutionaries? Of course not, at least not yet. What it does mean is that he finally realized that Russia and Iran are playing hardball and are playing for keeps and that if he does not ante up the US has no chance of winning anything.

Having made the move to arm the revolutionaries, Obama is now looking to gauge Russia's reaction. So far it appears the Russians did not expect Obama to take the step he did and they feel somewhat apprehensive judging by the latest remarks made by Putin and Lavrov. Obama's task is to make sure and convince the Russians that he will not back down unless he gets major concessions. That is why it is premature to celebrate as yet. One silver lining in all of this is that while Obama is indeed too timid for a leader, previous experience indicates that when he does finally move he does so with the conviction that he will go all the way. Whether he actually does stay the course in this instance remains to be seen but no one should underestimate the seriousness of the move Obama has made.

Seventy-one officers, including six generals, have defected from the Syrian army to Turkey, a Turkish official said yesterday, the biggest single mass desertion of senior soldiers from President Bashar Al Assad’s security forces in months. It was not immediately clear why the group had deserted.

So listen nobody can stand front on peoples powers.
Long live Syria
Long live Syrian peoples
Long live free Syrian army
