Interview: Syrian President to Portuguese Tv: "Just say the truth to your people."

let me see if I get this:

US is going to provide $70 million “non-lethal” aid to groups fighting the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, that are fighting Iraq forces also. But, on the other side Hadi al-Ameri (the commander of the Iraqi volunteer forces) praised Iran’s supports for the Iraqi security forces in anti-terror operations, adding that "help from Iran is unconditional.

So, at end of the day, will have US against Iran, like bibi always wanted...

According to the State Department, the new aid would bring total US support to the anti-government groups to about $400 million.

Ameri, who also heads the Badr Organization political party, lashed out at the US for failing to fulfill its earlier promises to provide Baghdad with military assistance in the fight against Takfiri terrorists.

He stressed that receiving weaponry and military assistance from the US should not take place at the expense of sacrificing Iraq’s sovereignty, censuring those who "kiss the hands of the Americans and get nothing in return."

Frank-Walter Steinmeier (German foreign minister) said Wednesday that talks with Assad would become necessary as the only solution to the crisis in Syria is a diplomatic one.

The remarks by Steinmeier come against a backdrop of reactions by various governments to the idea of holding talks with Assad, which had earlier been proposed by US Secretary of State John Kerry.

Of course, some countries will react against it, like Assad mentioned in the interview, because of their economic interest on Syria.

Some governments, including Turkey, have reacted furiously to the call by saying nothing would come out of such talks. France and Britain have also adopted similar positions.

Germany says talks with Assad may be necessary

Very interesting interview in the sequence of this thread.

mark 6:45 if you're in a hurry, but it deserves full hearing.

The first part is about the letter from Virginia state Senator Richard Black , to Assad, where he congratulates the Syrian president for his "“gallant and effective campaign" to liberate Christian villages on the border with Lebanon and it speaks about is failure to explain how US government supports the very same group that was responsible for 9/11. Then he goes on speaking about the birthplace of Christianity.

The second part, starting at 6:45, he goes to a very important analysis that I want you to personally ear.

UNRWA REPORT: Dramatic findings of new Syria report include plummeting life expectancy and looming economic collapse

The average life expectancy for Syrians in 2014 has dropped by more than 20 years, from 79.5 in 2010 to 55.7, due to violence and the breakdown of the country’s public infrastructure.

This situation, exacerbated by the contracting of the economy, is giving rise to localized ‘economies of violence’ – a warning to all stakeholders in the Syria conflict.

The report relates Syria’s decline to the growth of ‘economies of violence’ where national sovereignty, the rule of law and human security have been undermined. Localized economies of violence are often linked to militias, criminal networks and black markets that exploit commerce, trade and trafficking for malign purpose and illegitimate gain.

From the above notice that US Government happily goes throwing military weapons to those criminals.

The report makes clear that while the odds are unevenly stacked, there is still hope of reversing the devastating trends if the conflict can be swiftly resolved through a committed political process that can restore a sense of security, well-being and rehabilitation for those that the conflict has robbed of agency.

But yet, we all know the position of the US government: Assad Must Go!!

UNRWA continues to appeal for all efforts to be made to find a negotiated solution as a matter of utmost priority.

Who is UNRWA:

UNRWA is a United Nations agency established by the General Assembly in 1949 and is mandated to provide assistance and protection to a population of some 5 million registered Palestine refugees. Its mission is to help Palestine refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, West Bank and the Gaza Strip to achieve their full potential in human development, pending a just solution to their plight.
