    (Reuters) - Israel does not perceive an immediate threat from Syria's chemical weapons, a senior Israeli official said on Sunday, after Western powers warned Damascus could use or lose such arms in the chaos of civil war.

    Who could see this coming. Israel can do no wrong and niether can Syria. Now everyone is going to want a wild card.

    Russia stands by Syria President Bashar Assad

    BEIRUT — Russia said Sunday that it has no intention of pushing for the ouster of President Bashar Assad, as international negotiators seeking a way out of the escalating Syrian crisis again failed to reach a breakthrough.

    Meantime, Syria's turmoil continued to spill over its borders, as four more people were killed in the latest spasm of Syria-related violence in the tense northern Lebanese city of Tripoli.

    And in Syria, another day of fierce clashes and government bombardment was reported in the suburbs of Damascus as government troops battled rebels intent on cutting off the capital and its international airport.

    Russia needs assurances that it can keep its warm water ports for its Black Sea Fleet in Syria before throwing Assad under the bus.

    And maybe the new Syrian regime doesn't want Russia meddling in their business? The new regime opposes Assad so I'm sure they also do not like the Russians either.

    Assad with Russia's backing maybe forcing a real wild fire through out the middle east. He may be looking to take everyone down with him. He must know he is a dead man along with his generals. His wife too.

    Exactly my point. Would you want to negotiate with the Russians who have been supplying Assad the weapons to kill you? Or do you want help from the United States who would stab you in the back as soon as look at you in their total support for Israel?

    Hmm? Russians or Americans....Russians or Americans....Russians or Americans? Not the choices I would want!

    I would respectfully suggest that it is not the Russians that are the problem in the Middle East! I think you might want to look closer to home.

    I'm sure Russia would like nothing more than to choke off the oil to the western world if they could. And now that they have a natural gas pipe line going to Western Europe they can, and have threatened to close the valve when Europe was opposing their aggression into Georgia.

    Fortunatly the Russians are a decade or two from having the Blue water navy required for such a venture but maybe those that questioned it can now see why going into Libya was so important for Europe and their thirst for Libyan oil? Stop that source from flowing and Russia would have captured more of the market.

    The thirst for oil comes from a need to keep economies rolling and people working. It is a viscous escalation due to the increase in the world's population. Or maybe we could all just go back to farming, hunting and fishing, and sitting around camp fires. Personally that last part does sound good to me, but unfortunately those days are long gone and unrealistic in todays situation.

    Heroic and legitimate Russian government stands by equally heroic and legitimate Alawite government against the racist, religiously bigoted, imperialistic and aggressive domestic regime of illegitimacy.

    Russia said Sunday that it has no intention of pushing for the ouster of President Bashar Assad, as international negotiators seeking a way out of the escalating Syrian crisis again failed to reach a breakthrough.
    On a slightly different note, why would the domestic regime be worried about its (Obama's) al Nusra Front getting their hands on chemical weapons?

    Also on Sunday, Russia downplayed White House fears that a desperate Assad could deploy chemical weapons and said the greatest danger was that part of Syria's chemical arsenal could fall into the hands of rebels. Both U.S. and Israeli officials have also voiced concern that chemical armaments could end up in the hands of insurgents, who have overrun a number of military bases. Syria's fragmented rebel legions includes hard-core Islamist brigades hostile to the West and sympathetic to Al Qaeda.
