WASHINGTON
— The Obama administration, hoping that the conflict in Syria has reached a turning point, is considering deeper
intervention to help push President Bashar al-Assad from power, according to government officials involved in the
discussions.
While
no decisions have been made, the administration is considering several
alternatives, including directly providing arms to some opposition fighters.
…
Other, more distant options include directly providing arms to
opposition fighters rather than only continuing to use other countries,
especially Qatar, to do so. A riskier course would be to insert C.I.A. officers
or allied intelligence services on the ground in Syria, to work more closely
with opposition fighters in areas that they now largely control.
Administration officials
discussed all of these steps before the presidential election. But the
combination of President
Obama’s re-election, which has made the White House more willing to
take risks, and a series of recent tactical successes by rebel forces, one
senior administration official said, “has given this debate a new urgency, and
a new focus.”…
“The administration has figured out that if they
don’t start doing something, the war will be over and they won’t have any
influence over the combat forces on the ground,” said Jeffrey White, a former
Defense Intelligence Agency intelligence officer and specialist on the Syria
military. “They may have some influence with various political groups and
factions, but they won’t have influence with the fighters, and the fighters
will control the territory.”
Finally come to sense,
all but performance, you see FSA revolutionary winning now US et al sense of urgency
to involve, hahaha… good great! Otherwise they may be missed out the
opportunity! Oil pumping in, geographically
superb strategic position and also what else
you want more prize than very well educated
young population 23 million friends and they need 60 billion reconstruction
