Syrian govt, opposition agree to Geneva peace talks

Posted by seumasach on November 27, 2013

This will be a disappointment to the British “anti-war” left who have seen fit to shun all contacts with Assad and anyone suspected of supporting him i.e. most of the Syrian population. However, Obama’s retreat from empire is gaining unstoppable momentum. After reaching a deal on Syria he will move onto the thorny question of an Israel-Palestine settlement. The left’s hopes in a new front against China are also likely to be disappointed as Obama is merely involved in a sort of rough-wooing: invest in America or we’ll bomb the hell out of you! The Chinese, however, are already only to eager to invest in America. Obama is also keen to trumpet the charge as he retreats on all fronts.

Indian Punchline

26th November, 2013

The tough-talking, no-nonsense US National Security Advisor Susan Rice met her match at the presidential palace in Kabul Monday evening over a “working dinner”. One would have loved to be a fly on the wall. But there was no need, because no sooner than the pomegranates and grapes were eaten after the rich meal of pilav and kebabs and Rice reported back to Washington her conversation with President Hamid Karzai, which lasted several hours, the White house released a curtly worded readout on what transpired.

It’s not clear why Britain’s Stop the War group invited Mother Agnes of the Mussalaha initiative (Reconciliation) to their annual conference. They must have known that any viewpoint other than that of Aljazeera, the BBC and Human Rights Watch would stir controversy in its ranks. Two luminaries of the left duly decided to boycott the conference if she was present on the grounds that she was an agent of the Assad “regime” and that she had questioned, some might say debunked, the official account of the the chemical weapons attack at Ghouta implicating the Syrian government.
