Syrian Revolts: The Obama regime seem to be pushing for a negotiated solution between itself and Russia and other regional powers. While the House of Saud view the Syrian crisis as a proxy war for it to curtail Iran’s influence and vainly hope for an article seven intervention at the Security Council, the US is more pragmatic and recognises that a solution that maintains it regional hegemony and sense of control is far more important at the moment. Hillary Clinton tellingly stated the Obama regime’s priority to end the conflict includes the Assad regime making the decision to participate in a political solution:

The United States and other countries would discuss at a meeting of the Friends of Syria group in Marrakech next week what more they could do to try to bring the Syrian conflict to an end, she said.

“But that will require the Assad regime making the decision to participate in a political transition (and) ending the violence against its own people … We hope that they do so because we believe … that their fall is inevitable. It is just a question of how many people will die until that date occurs,” she said.
