| Syria: US moves closer to arming rebels |
| 2013-06-10 |
| Was it Einstein who said "insanity consists in doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result" Moves to arm SyriaÂ’s opposition have been accelerated in the US following a key defeat for the rebels and a major split in the ranks of al-Qaeda-aligned jihadists, Washington officials indicated. John Kerry, the US secretary of state, postponed a visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories to hold intensive talks with President Barack Obama on the next steps in the Syria crisis. Officials told American news outlets that the administration was considering not only arming the rebels directly but even imposing a no-fly zone on the Syrian regime of President Bashar al-Assad. William Hague, the Foreign Secretary, was also being updated, one report said, though the Foreign Office refused to confirm this. At the weekend, Mr Hague said he was prepared to put the issue of Britain supplying the rebels to a vote, following pressure from backbench Tory MPs and the Labour party. A state department spokesman said Mr Obama would this week consider a "wider range of options". "Conditions on the ground have worsened. That is frankly concerning," she added. |
