President Assad has held his line. The Us President has
telephoned the new Iranian president to hammer out peace negotiations. The
Syrian free army and Al Qaida affiliate groups are backed up against the Turkish
border. Qatar and Saudi Arabia are at a loss over their next move.
In Short the civil war in Syria has an outcome. The Shia Crescent spread its influence from
Tehran across Iraq to the port of Tartus embracing Alawite Syria and Shia
Lebanon. It’s complete. The sectarian and economic confrontation between Iran
and Saudi Arabia has forged lines. Turkey to the north and Gulf states to the
south are Sunni lands. The Shia crescent between is clear; just like the mighty
gas which will flow through its Islamic pipeline towards Europe.
The 2013 summer battle for the strategic town of Al
Qusayr tipped the balance. After it fell to Assad’s army it was too late for
further proxy intervention. It came down to the presence of a few thousand
Hezbollah fighters to decide the fate of the Syrian civil war.
“Saudi Arabia, Turkey and other regional countries
backing Syria's rebels must acknowledge their failures to bring down the Syrian
government, and join efforts for a political solution to end the two and a half
year civil war,” Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah said Monday 08th
Oct 13.
"I
call on Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and other Gulf states to revise your
stance," he said. "You won't reach anywhere by relying on a military
victory….. think with your minds. Think about your interests, the interests of
the region, the survival of the region."

Nasrallah
said that Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries are using Hezbollah as a
scapegoat "to run away from their failures," by accusing the highly trained
resistance army of occupying Syria.
"For
two and a half years, they used everything in their disposal ... to control
Syria and they failed. Of course Hezbollah are foreigners, we are not Syrian,
but what about the tens of thousands of foreign fighters who you brought from
all over the world? Are they occupying Syria?"
President Assad, who is currently
undergoing rehabilitation with western powers, said in an interview with Der Spiegel,
“Victory is stability. The real battle for Syria is to get rid of their (Al Qaida)
ideology.
It cannot be that an
eight-year-old boy tries to behead someone, which happened in the north. Or children
watch a beheading with jubilation, happy, like they're watching a soccer match.
If we don't deal with this problem, which is more dangerous than the terrorists
themselves, we're going to face a bleak future.”
