The assad regime's quick motion ahead of time, the Obama administration may decide to approve this week for troubled Syrian rebels lethal aid, and weigh the pros and cons of a move is unlikely to be sent to enforce a no, fly the United States air force area of the civil war ravaged country, officials said Sunday.
Plans of the White House meeting, in the future days, Syria's President bashar assad's government was clearly the key city of homs, which could cut off Syria's rebels armed attack from the south of the country's ready. As many as 5000 now in Syria, hizbullah fighters, officials say, help the regime, its motion capture near the Lebanese border town of Qusair reporters last week.
Opposition leaders warned Washington, their rebellion could face catastrophic and irreversible losses, and more support, and warned that prompted us to consider drastic action.
Secretary of state John kerry on Monday postponed a planned trip to Israel and other Middle East countries to participate in the discussions at the White House, who is not authorized to speak publicly about this matter, and the officials spoke on condition of anonymity said.
Though nothing specific decisions, U.S. officials said the U.S. President barack Obama to subscribe to send review, modest rebel troops weapons closer. Said the United States is likely to be rebels in recent months, but have been hesitant, because it does not want to "base" organization linked and other extremist militias fought against Mr Assad, and the end of the weapon.
Obama has ruled out any intervention, demands to pull U.S. troops on the ground of the boots. Other options, such as the United States air force deployed ground regime jets, helicopters and other air assets are more serious debate, officials say, at the same time telling a no-fly zone, or any other action involving the us military deployment in Syria is far less likely.
The President also announced that the assad regime used chemical weapons "red line", the United States more forceful action. U.S. Allies, including France and Britain say they have identified close to certainty, Syrian troops using sarin attack several times in low levels, but the government is still in evidence. , American officials said, will be in this week's meeting of brewing response involved on the ground of the situation in Syria deteriorating, independent of the final confirmation possible chemical weapons use.
Any intervention may have the United States and widely have far-reaching influence in the region. This will bring us closer, have killed nearly 80000 people since the cracked down assad inspiration comes from the Arab spring protesters in March 2011, and trigger, has been increasingly defined by the leadership of the sunni insurgency and sectarian conflict conflict between the assad regime dominated by the alawites.
It actually pit American regional Allies Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar in the agent's war against Iran, it is the Syrian government suppressed the rebellion of the provided materials, and through hezbollah, and more human.
Syria's conflict in the Middle East in a vulnerable heart makes very difficult to predict. Throughout the western border, Lebanon, suffered a brutal civil war, in the 1970 s and 1980 s have seen increased racial tensions. To the east of Iraq, Syria, is Mired in a worsening violence. And Israel southwest have seen a shot across the disputed golan heights, which has been forced to strike team to hizbullah says what advanced weapons, including to the war in 2006.
Iran could wreak havoc in the region through its support, Shiite militant group and U.S. officials fear that Iran might seek revenge on any U.S. participation against Israel or the United States interests in the region. This is what is not clear us action will mean that relations with Russia, Mr Assad's military and diplomatic support, although it claims it and its cooperation with the United States, trying to organize a Syrian peace conference.
At the same time, it is unclear what Washington's conflict has increasingly inclined to opposition forces in recent months have no President assad to provide weapons or involved in itself may fundamentally change track.
The bush administration have been a few months to learn how to balance the Syria war, such a moderate pro-democracy rebels beat regime or make life so difficult Mr Assad and his supporters, the government decided it must join a peace process, the necessary transition from 40 years of dictatorship of the assad family.
But Mr Assad's military achievement seems to have rendered peace efforts in the short term. Although kerry and his Russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has been trying to rally support plan meeting in Geneva - first envisioned for the since may and delay, until July the earliest in - and even the U.S. Allies in the Syrian opposition leader sat down questioned the wisdom of the talks, and they are all over the country Mr Assad's forces to cede territory.
In addition to weapons the rebels support, government officials have deep keep other options.
They noticed a no-fly zone, R - Arizona senator John McCain, hawks in congress, such as advocacy, and Syria's air defense systems will require American and Russia's technology, has been stepped up are far stronger than those of Libyan dictator moammar gadhafi in the United States and its Arab and European Allies to help the rebels overthrow him in 2011. Washington, unlike Libya, have clear international authorization, the authorization of any strikes in Syria, the Obama administration officials since the end of 2011 has nothing new to explain its take more forceful action points.
Holmes, one of the largest alawite community in Syria, was widely seen as Mr Assad. The rebel-held city of center, however, as the regime forces laid siege to the suburbs.
North of homs many towns also have control of the rebels, and hezbollah in southern forces have to clear the rebels from villages and towns. In the past three weeks of heavy fighting has left dozens of rebel forces and hezbollah fighters and hundreds of people were injured.
