FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda In a show of bigger sabre-rattling against the Middle East nation, William Hague said that his government had not ruled out any options, which might also include supplying rebels in Syria with arms.
He said that while the Syrian regime had ignored the peace plan devised by former United Nations secretary-general Kofi Annan, it remained “much the best option”.
“What I have put to the Russians is the case that for their own interests it would be better to use their leverage to make sure that even now the Assad regime implements that plan”, said Hague speaking on BBC Radio 4‘s Today programme.
“Otherwise, Syria could face a state of collapse, of the kind of sectarian conflict that I have been talking about”, he added.
“Are there other options in the future? Well, we would have to look at all options but we would do that with our allies, bearing in mind of course what can be secured at the United Nations Security Council and what is practical and effective.
“So we are not ruling anything out but a military intervention in Syria, as I have always pointed out, would have to be on a vastly greater scale than was the case in Libya and it would have to enjoy broad international support, so we are not at that stage at this point now”, Hague claimed.
Hague said he would like to see President Bashar Assad appear at the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the Houla massacre but there was little hope of the UN Security Council agreeing to refer the regime to the tribunal.
Meanwhile, a Syrian government investigation into the massacre showed that anti-Damascus armed groups were responsible for the killings of over hundred people, including dozens of women and children.
The head of the inquiry, Brigadier General Qassem Jamal Suleiman, said on Thursday that between 600 and 800 armed terrorists used heavy machinery to carry out the attacks.
Suleiman also said that there was no evidence to indicate that artillery bombing by Syrian forces had led to the bloodshed, and blamed the armed groups for the massive loss of life as part of a plan to “eliminate the presence of the government [in the area] totally and turn it into a region out of government control.”
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011. The violence has claimed many lives, including several security forces.
Damascus blames “outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups” for the unrest, asserting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.
