The Syrian civil war has reached a stalemate and President Bashar al-Assad's government will call for a ceasefire at a long-delayed conference in Geneva on the state's future, the country's deputy prime minister has said in an interview with the Guardian. Speaking on behalf of the government, Qadri Jamil said that neither side was strong enough to win the conflict, which has lasted two years and caused the death of more than 100,000 people. Jamil, who is in charge of country's finances, also said that the Syrian economy had suffered catastrophic losses. "Neither the armed opposition nor the regime is capable of defeating the other side," he said. "This zero balance of forces will not change for a while."

Liking the way this has been going the last month or so, other than the fact that civilans continue to perish at the hands of all sides..
On a side note maybe Assad got his copy of gta5 and wants to chill for a bit..edit on 19-9-2013 by canucks555 because: (no reason given)

Time will tell, I guess. I wonder if Assad will step down or what... My realistic side still tells me that there is no way we supplied weapons to Al Qaeda since 2011 only to have peace in the region.. They are total outsiders, not even Syrian. Then we all saw our dear leaders suddenly foaming at the mouth pushing their attack blaming it on Assad..I still believe they want to attack..Let's hope the public continue to not allow it.

His Excellence is it?
If being unable to run ones country and shooting protesters dead makes one excel, then I wonder who your other heroes are?
Don't derail my thread please, and if you're being sarcastic then I truly apologize.

We have not supplied Al Qaeda. In fact we have not been suppling anyone until this month when we began supplying the FSA. The Al Qaeda linked groups are not happy about this so the cold war between them and rebels has now broken in to open conflict.
As for Assads people saying its stalemate that is huge sign that something on Assads side is going very badly.

ATS watcher I started this thread with a 50/50 take. Assad is an ass, the rebels are arses.
You're storming in with piss and vinegar, it makes me think that that type of attitude is what prolongs this war/
Put a lid on it, I respect whatever side your on, for debate sake, but don't talk matter of factly cause that aint flying.
there are two sides to this war so like I said before, stop F### derailing my thread. Go elsewhere.edit on 19-9-2013 by canucks555 because: (no reason given)

Says who? The Government? LOL. We've been assisting the "rebels" since at least 2011 as leaked by Wikileaks. Now the question is, do you really believe Al Qaeda doesn't make up a very large portion of these "factions"? If so, I believe you are mistaken. Many have come out and admitted it, just not Obama, Kerry and McCain..but who really cares since all three of them are as useless as a box of rocks.
