Trend.Az: The Syrian government says that the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the militants are foreign nationals.
In an interview recently broadcast on German television, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said that the government did not start the conflict and the militant groups were the ones killing Syrian citizens and destroying the country's infrastructure.
*... New arms supplies from Turkey and Saudi Arabia for terrorists in Syria, are opposed the political agitation by the Obama administration, which Islamist FSA [al-nusra] terrorists, - logistical and support even with material equipment, when John Kerry said:
"We are examining and developing ways to accelerate the political transition that the Syrian people want and deserve," Kerry said. "We need to help them to deliver basic services and to protect the legitimate institutions of the state."
TheDailyStar Lebanon: Officials in the United States and Europe have said the Obama administration is nearing a decision on whether to provide non-lethal assistance to carefully vetted fighters opposed to Syrian President Basher Assad, and Kerry's comments indicated that the Americans are working to make sure that its aid doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
Syria's rebels get most of their arsenal from capturing government bases, but they also are believed to receive help from Qatar, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
ALMONITOR: While the United States and Russia continue, on the surface, to disagree over Syria, the recent flurry of diplomatic activity spearheaded by the two leading members of the Security Council suggests that there is more coordination between them than might appear at first glance. Given Turkey's current position, which appears to be rowing against the tide, it is not clear where Ankara will fit in as far as diplomatic efforts to end the Syrian crisis are concerned. All indications are that it still refuses to see the situation in Syria as a civil war, fed by sectarian and ethnic divisions, which in the end will require a negotiated settlement.
AntiWar: The Kerry administration is expanding to provide Syrian rebels with direct military aid, toward providing body armor, direct combat training and even armed personal carries to rebel factions.
Strategic-Culure.org: Several rebel commanders and fighters told Reuters that a shipment which reached Syria via Turkey last month comprised shoulder-held and other mobile equipment including anti-aircraft and armor-piercing weapons, mortars and rocket launchers.
Rebels told Reuters the weapons, along with money for cash payments for fighters, were being distributed through a new command structure, part of a plan by foreign backers to centralize control over rebel units and check Islamists linked to al-Qaeda. However, in a sign of the difficulty in uniting disparate fighting groups, some rebels said they had turned down the arms and refused to submit to the new command.
A Reuters photographer in Damascus over the last month saw several Western-built rebel firearms- including U.S. pattern M4 and Austrian Steyr assault rifles - that almost certainly came from outside the country.
Trend.Az: Although the Obama administration continues to refuse to directly arm the rebels, the administration has provided intelligence assistance to those who are involved in the supplies, and it also helps vet opposition forces. U.S. officials declined to comment on the new armaments.
*...Barack Obama must make an effort to promote a political resolution in Syria. This can be only without the support of FSA Islamists - it is for Israel in the context of Obama friend no other solution to search for a dialogue between Syria and seek the opposition.
