It really is nauseating how the western media, this time the Independant, immediately leap onto the bandwagon of "blame the Russians" if the diplomatic plan fails.
"Russia puts deal to avert Syria war in jeopardy ahead of key meeting" screams out from the front page of the Independant, blaming Russia for the contrived French, American and British attempts to claw back initiative in their desperate desire to inflict "punishment" on the Syrian regime. The tactic of making unacceptable demands and blaming the other side for the failure of diplomacy is not a new one. The Austro-Hungarian Ultimatum to Serbia of 23 July, 1914 is a classic example. The real French/American/British agenda of course, as everyone knows, is to assist the FSA and the other 1001 rebel groups including fighters from Chechnya, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Israel and even the al- Qaeda groups, to advance on Damascus and overthrow the Syrian government.
Within the next few days, or perhaps weeks, as the first wave of cruise missiles slam into the FSA pre identified targets in and around Damascus, the "western leaders" will appear on our television screens, and fill our newspapers, with their hand wringing cliche ridden statements of how they have been forced into this action by the intransigence of the Russians at the UN Security council and the devious maneuverings and prevarications of the Syrian government and their failure to comply with the "international community" demands.
We have seen it all before. It was wrong then and it is wrong now. The difference this time is that if we thought Iraq was a disastrous failure based on lies and duplicity, Syria will be infinitely worse.
