KOFI ANNAN SIX POINT PLAN IS A TRAP

The "six" point plan that Syria has apparently agreed to is a trap. It asks way too much of Syria, no time scales are given, and does not explicitly recognise that the opposition are terrorist thugs armed from outside Syria. The Syrian opposition is splintered so at the moment it will be very very difficult for Annan to seek from the opposition what he asked of Bashar al-Assad. In the first two points Annan has basically asked al-Assad to stop fighting against the opposition, and withdraw troops and heavy weapons from places like Homs.

These first two points are followed by the statement that Annan would seek similar from the opposition.

Similar commitments would be sought by the Envoy from the opposition and all relevant elements to stop the fighting and work with him to bring about a sustained cessation of armed violence in all its forms by all parties with an effective United Nations supervision mechanism

But who defines what are "relevant elements"? Clintonella de Vil?

The "six" point plan then expands to many many more points and asks the Syrian government and the Syrian government alone to

(3) ensure timely provision of humanitarian assistance to all areas affected by the fighting, and to this end, as immediate steps, to accept and implement a daily two hour humanitarian pause and to coordinate exact time and modalities of the daily pause through an efficient mechanism, including at local level;
(4) intensify the pace and scale of release of arbitrarily detained persons, including especially vulnerable categories of persons, and persons involved in peaceful political activities, provide without delay through appropriate channels a list of all places in which such persons are being detained, immediately begin organizing access to such locations and through appropriate channels respond promptly to all written requests for information, access or release regarding such persons;
(5) ensure freedom of movement throughout the country for journalists and a non-discriminatory visa policy for them;
(6) respect freedom of association and the right to demonstrate peacefully as legally guaranteed.

These four points apply to the Syrian government and the Syrian government alone.

And as stated above, the first two points apply to both, but no time scales are given. What if Assad does his bit, but the opposition drags their feet, or cannot organise to comply?

This is in effect a two point plan with four more points exclusively for the Syrian government.

So I a smell a rat.

For example, in the context of this "six" point plan, what exactly is meant by "humanitarian assistance"? (see Point 3). The war on Libya was supposed to be "humanitarian assistance" but turned into a one-sided bloodbath ending with the assassination of Gaddafi and the installment of al Qaeda. The "journalists" that will enter the country will be intelligence agents, as they are now, e.g. Danny Dayem, Paul Conroy, but will be given much more freedom to spew their fabrications and lies.

Neither Annan nor al-Assad do not seem to understand the kind of devils that are driving these uprisings. Al-Assad has recognised that the rebels are terrorists armed from outside Syria, but may not be fully aware of just how far they are prepared to go. Syria is just one stepping stone on the way to the final destination, war on Iran.

And that's when the real fireworks will begin.

I foresee that, as well intentioned as this plan may appear to be, it will be used to entrap Syria in some way. Syria will be accused of violating the agreement, and war, or open support from the West of the Syrian al Qaeda rebs, will follow. It could be that the opposition does not form as one group. How will al-Assad deal with that, if most opposition groups conform but one does not, perhaps the rebel group reported in Press TV that is beheading captured Syrian soldiers?

Syrian rebels have formed their own laws, courts and death squads in Baba Amr neighborhood in the restive city of Homs and beheaded the captured army soldiers, a report has revealed.

The report, published by Spiegel Online on Monday, discloses violent measures by the anti-government armed groups, laying bare the other side of the unrest in the Middle Eastern country.

Hussein, one of the rebels fighting the government of President Bashar al-Assad, is quoted in the report as saying that he himself decapitated four army soldiers who had been detained by gunmen.

I repeat my demand to Hague and/or Hammod to explain the purpose and presence of British Special Forces in and around Syria since 1st January 2011 to the present date.
