United States Moves Closer to Direct Intervention in Syria

Steven Lee Myers, The New York Times News Service: ''The United States and more than 60 other countries moved closer on Sunday to direct intervention in the fighting in Syria, with Arab nations pledging $100 million to pay opposition fighters and the Obama administration agreeing to send communications equipment to help rebels organize and evade Syria s military, according to participants gathered here. The moves reflected a growing consensus, at least among those who met here this weekend under the rubric 'Friends of Syria,' that mediation efforts by the United Nations peace envoy, Kofi Annan, were failing to halt the violence in Syria and that more forceful action was needed.''

Putting Syria Into Some Perspective

By William Blum

'Military intervention in Syria not completely ruled out'

An internationally supported military intervention in Syria could still take place as a last resort for settling the Syrian crisis, given that recent international efforts are unlikely to affect the status quo and the conflict will not end in the near future, political observers have claimed.
