Washington and Israel Conspire to Oust Assad

On September 15, Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi said his government “views with great seriousness the Russian-US deal.”

It intends to observe it to the letter, he stressed. It’s “committing itself to whatever comes from the UN. We accept the Russian plan to get rid of our chemical weapons.”
“In fact, we’ve started preparing our list. We are already documenting our papers, and we have started to do our job.”
 
“We don’t waste time. For 40 years, Syria has always been trusted once it has committed itself.” Syria will “absolutely” grant UN inspectors access to storage sites.
 
It “respects and honors what (the agreement) says. We take (it) very seriously.”
 
It doesn’t matter. Obama’s committed to regime change. So is Israel. Both countries want Syrian sovereignty destroyed. They want pro-Western puppet governance replacing it. They want Iran isolated. They want Shah era harshness restored.
 
Plans remain unchanged. Implementing them is delayed. John Kerry warned:
 
“Make no mistake. We have taken no options off the table.” The US/Russian deal “will only be as effective as its implementation will be, and President Obama has made it clear that to accomplish that, the threat of force remains.”
 
“The threat of force is real.” Destroying Syria’s chemical weapons “set(s) a marker for the standard of behavior to Iran and with respect to North Korea.”
 
Netanyahu thanked Kerry’s efforts “to rid Syria of its chemical weapons.”
 
He ignored his own country’s formidable nuclear, chemical and biological weapons arsenal saying so. He was silent about the enormous threat it poses.
