agree with you. I believe Russia has been outfoxed in Syria because when Russia forced peace plan on Syria—the Syrian army was at the urge of defeating the terrorists. This period of reprieve was sought by the West and terrorists and Russians gave it to them. Now Lavrov sounds frustrated but unless Israeli lobby is at plays a role in Russia’s foreign policy toward Syria-- then I cannot logically understand why Russia is not more aggressive in Syria. Qatar and Saudi Arabia openly support terrorists in Syria and West provides the intelligence for the terrorists. But until this press conference the Russians have speaking only obliquely when it comes to Western role in fueling on the conflict in Syria. I knew the Houla Massacre was done by the Sunni terrorist two days after the horrific crimes was committed by Syrian media showed the name of the families and it was clear they were not Sunni and few Sunni families were targeted because they wanted peaceful resolution to the conflict. Russians did not confront the West with these facts and Russia still insist the Annan plan would work even when in the case of Houla Massacre the UN members on the ground gave what appears to be total fabrication of the facts—The only solution to the crisis in Syria is strong support of Syria with new and state of art surveillance border technologies; and help the Syrian army flush out the terrorists and only then start peaceful dialogue and political transition.

Through Syrian crisis, West and Nato checking ability and talent of Russis and China and therefore Mr Putun and Mr. Hu (china) must act now before it is too late. 
There sh ould be PLAN B organize by Russia and China in case NATO attach Syria without UN resolution. Most probably Russia must move its tactical combat Naval presence to Middle east region as first step of long term strategic counter plan.

Lavrov's peace plan from several months ago is finally working out. Syria is finally at peace. Congratulations, Russia!

Cooomooon ... Lavrov said everything that needs to be said just in one sectance: "... they supply them with money, weapons ..."

How can western media just ignore this statement?

Russia is not even hiding that they are selling weapons to Assad. On top of that, they spread rumors about other countries smuggling weapons. That's why nobody cares about what Lavrov says.

Annan plan ‘only chance for peace’ but stalled by status quo supporters (aka Iran, China & Russia)?

Israel is using chemical war fare against Syrian civ ilians and then blaming the Syrian governm ent!
Come on, Mr. Assad: stand up like a man and throw everything you got at Israel. It is time those Israeli  devil worshipers, Antichr ist, fascist Nazis runn ing  the devil's den be dealt a blow that will forever wipe them off the face of Earth.Please, please MR. Assad: The forces of good are cheering you on against Nazi Israel! Don't let us down! If you have the courage , the honor, and the  wisdom to stand up to fascist Israel the whole world will gladly stand with you and back you up. On the other hand , if you hesitate or refrain from honoring the memory of your heroic father, the great leader not only of Syria but also of all the forces of justice and progress, then you  will have failed not just the Syrian people but the whole world. you. So, please Dear Mr. president  Assad , PLease fail us not  and do the right and the heroic thing: Destroy Israel now and remember: You are not just the president of Syria, Mr. Assad: You are now the president of all the anti fascist peoples of the world. Yes we the peoples of the World  have bestowed upon you the honor and the privilege to lead us in  the the anti-fascist struggle, so please lead!You Mr. Assad like Che Guevara will   forever live in the hearts and minds of the freedom loving peoples of the world. And, please stay safe because we need you well and alive. We know that you are not a coward but we just can't afford the luxury of having you in harms way so not to demoralize our fighters.The whole world knows that Israelis merc enaries are inside Syria; So, what are you waiting on to send some missiles into Telaviv?Bomb fascist Israel now! and, the other progressist forces will fallow you and do the same!

Taking sides is the problem in Syria...regime change like Iraq is the underlying theme in the West. Russia asks for moderation and China agrees with the Russian stance. Naturally Madame Clinton and her assistant at the UN Madame Rice are knee deep in a quagmire of their own making. If you pick a fight in the middle east then you will be caught in a spiders web...Israel/Palesti ne has shown itself to be a prolonged experiment in agony and in the name of a biblical mission in the old testament. Why dont we throw away the proverbs and promises of a holy land and start all over again. We may have to after Israel and Iran destroy each other in their coming war. Duration: 9 hours maximum. Qatar pick a fight with someone your own size!

Response to: " Israel smuggling weapons to Syria through Iraqi Kurdistan, sources say"
Iran is directly propping up Syrian Assad. Iran's distribution of arms can be perceived in the entire Middle Eastern countries. From Iraqi to Syria, from Pakistan to Lebanon, from Yemen to Afghanistan.
Abou t 1500 active Iranian military and intelligence o peratives are currently working with Assad regime, according to a classified report.
KURDISTAN  INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENTK.I.M

Mr. Lavrov is one of the greatest statesmen of all time.  While I watched him speak on RT, I noticed he did not appear too concerned Syria would fall to the “international co mmunity” which comprises just four warmongers out of almost 200 independent nations , viz the USA (now in debt for $16 Trillion), the lost tiny empires UK and France, and the illegitimate regime in occupied Palestine.
Th e USA has previously challenged allies of Russia and China previously, lost tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers in Korea and Viet Nam, and is mortified about challenging Russia and China once more, as it may result in a war on their own homeland.  And that one will involve more than two buildings in NYC.   An error by Obama who thinks a victory in Syria will get him reelected will get his own regime toppled, and Mother Russia under Putin standing victorious.   I see a lot of hype on the U.S. media, designed to mislead American viewers about the blame for the carnage in Syria.  They do not get news about the “international community” arming terrorists.   As usual, Americans do not follow the real news;  they see Egypt and Libya toppled, but those countries are far from democratic now.   After years of pretending to democratize Iraq, the U.S. was booted out last December, and Iraq is now friendly with big Shia brother to its east.  The hasty U.S. exit was matched only by the hasty retreat from Viet Nam.  Compare that with any withdrawal from WWII in Germany and Japan—None at all for almost 70 years.

So many pieces of the International Puzzle are set against the easier transition of the other White House and its Euro Cronies to the Flat Tax Rate.   The recipients of this gross neglect of historiography are all those who felt the pinch of the credit crunch and the palm oil induced food price crisis.   Those that hurt the most immediately now threaten their right to bear arms by appearing to chose sides intractably.   If you were a middle eastern government in the post holocaust era wouldn't you have been a bit soft on the right of your people to possess and bear arms?Now all that empathy is being flushed down the chute for the sake of intolerance and cheap purchase of Western Support, all the cheaper for the fact of post 9/11 Western national expenditure.   A stupid and vacuous hand is being played by the 'pro-Western' governments of the Middle East and Israel.   A credible position would be to recommend the flat tax rate as solution to the Western Credit Crunch and avoid intractable population sacrificing International alliances.  What we are seeing from the ME instead is merely the flipside of Gaddafi's teasing Gold Standard not an intellectualism of a respectful strategic alternative.

Everything Russia wanted is coming to fruition.  Woman and children dying.  Way to go Russia and China.  How many more must die for your stupid war mongering ways.  So many stupid Russians trying to blame what is happening in Syria on western countries while their own government ships arms to Assad's death machine to kill its own people.  Please take a look at yourself in the mirror.

I am not paranoid and your conclusions are hilarious ridiculous. The Word of God doesn't say anything about the US in the end times and many christians and jews believe the USA will be gone, either financially or destroyed somehow.You don't need to be childish or a moron to tell me anything otherwise because paranoia is the last thing I have, differently than your moon 'god", a damn idol which controls the mind of millions, making them fanatics and death lovers.Cursed be you murderers of children. You WILL respond that to the Living God, creator of heavens and earth, the one who chose the Jewish people. And why don't you leave America then? if you are so ungrateful and have your moon "god" from hell, leave. In other places like muslim countries any oppostion would be killed or persecuted. So, be good, shut your mouth cause we here tolerate you.Not like your brothers of hate killing christians and jews all over. Egypt, Saudi Arabia "burn the churches! kill the christians.!see the diference? you are evil, from hell. and your cursed "religion" You will have your "reward" soon enough. Do not mess with Israel which is the ultimate goal of you. because your moon "god" won't help you, like in the past. NOBODY CAN SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.

Israeli airplanes are smuggling weapons into Syria through Iraq's Kurdistan region, Syrian sources told Iraqi Media and Press TV.
According to the sources, Israel sends weapons to Iraqi Kurdistan, which are then smuggled into Syria with financial assistance from Qatar.

Ir aqi Kurdistan Regional Government President Massoud Barzani has facilitated the operations of illegal Israeli firms in the region.

B arzani also refused to hand over fugitive Iraqi Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi, who is accused of involvement in terrorist attacks, to the Iraqi government and helped him flee from the country.

Hashemi, who is accused of running a terror squad in Iraq, flew to Turkey on April 10 after visiting Qatar and Saudi Arabia on the third leg of what he called an “official visit” to regional countries. He still resides in Turkey.
