Russia's Plan Isn't Perfect: It Offers Lifeline to Obama (Thawra Al-Wada, Syria)
Columnist Nasser Munzir of Syria's
state-run Thawra Al-Wadaseems grateful for the Kremlin's plan to
deflect a U.S. attack on Syria, except for one thing: it gave President Obama a
way out of the mess that according to Munzir, he had created for himself.
President Obama: With his second term priorities almost all in peril and an attack on Syria seemingly imminent, the Kremlin has reshuffled the cards. Does Obama owe Vladimir Putin his thanks?
Perhaps
the Russian initiative has contained the momentum of America's planned
aggression against Syria and defused a war in the region. On the other hand, it
has thrown a lifeline to U.S. President Barack Obama, who got himself entangled
in threats and intimidation, then wandered around in search of a face-saving way
out, particularly after he and his
followers realized the price they would pay for following through on their
threats. This is all thanks to the steadfastness and willingness of Syria to engage
in a serious confrontation, and the insistence of its allies to stand beside it
against any aggression.
It
is obvious that Obama was confused and hesitant about executing his threats, as
evidenced by the way he decided to seek Congressional approval to wage his
aggression when in fact he didn't need to. Then with lightening speed he
grabbed the Russian plan, describing it as a positive breakthrough to be taken
seriously. As if breathing a sigh of relief, all of his European allies save
France were also quick to welcome the initiative. Paris, because of its latent
colonialist mentality and the fact that the winds didn't blow the way it wanted,
was slightly late, wanting to show its counterfeit strength. It announced that
it would submit a Chapter
VII resolution to the Security Council regarding chemical weapons in Syria.
[Meaning a resolution backed by the collective use of force if Damascus fails
to comply - which Moscow immediately rejected].
Furthermore,
the Russian initiative dealt a major blow to those betting on the destruction
of Syria and who cheered Obama’s threats to launch an aggression. With baited
breath. they waited for the aggression to happen, including those abroad who
call themselves the “opposition” and their supporters in the oil and gas
sheikhdoms. Even the Gulf Cooperation Council unashamedly rejected the
initiative to spare Syria and its people from aggression, seeking the immediate
execution of aggression. Members of the Council put everything they had at the
disposal of Obama and his administration to get him not to withdraw, proving
again that they maintain a genuine interest in weakening and undermining Syria for
the benefit of the Zionist entity.

Syria’s
acceptance of the initiative confirms that it will seriously entertain any
proposal that could lead to a peaceful solution to the crisis, because doing so
is supremely in its interests. The Obama Administration has yet to do what is
necessary for the success of the initiative, and also exert pressure on Israel
to give up its nuclear arsenal, which not only threatens the region, but the entire
world.
