France's UN Ambassador Gerard Araud says there is no political process for Syria, and he is a least partly correct. The main reason for this is the brain dead pre-conditions demanded by Washington that Assad must go. Get past that BS and there will at least be talks with the legitimate rulers of Syria again. Najib Ghadbian, UN representative of the opposition Syrian Coalition, blamed the Syrian government for a range of crimes including the use of chemical weapons and barrel bombs. These pretenders to the throne are every bit as guilty of numerous war crimes in Syria. This "independent" UN commission said at least eight massacres had been perpetrated in Syria by Assad's government and supporters, and one by rebels. One, just one, by terrorist rebels to be included in the report. What a load of hogwash! Hopefully Russia and China continue to slap these Western peckerwoods down until they stop supporting any group of terrorists over another.

Permanent member status ie... moscow? But Lets Not Forget " tehran" and hizbullah They are Actively Murdering Syrian's For Three Years Now with hizbullah help!!!

... a war crimes tribunal if a permanent member of the Security Council defeats resolutions seeking to bring users of weapons of mass destruction to account? It might be time to remove Russia as a permanent member of the Security Council. Permanent member status was granted to the Soviet Union. The Russian Federation is NOT the Soviet Union.

When Obama will abstain in UNSC vote, Putin will order his ambassador to veto such a resolution. In mysterious ways Putin is actually a very good friend of Bibi/Israel and despises Obama as you know. All the help Putin gives is done in great secrecy, but pay attention to little clues here and there from time to time. You will realize that Putin doesn't have much love for Muslims/Arabs and he is only scamming them for business purposes. He has no interest in Iran becoming a nuclear power because it is potentially a danger to Russia too, much more so than to Europe or US. With his KGB background he appreciates Bibi special forces past and behind the scenes there a great friendship between the two. He is not an Antisemite, just the opposite, which is why he has Jews as PM and deputy PM, and many other Jewish Oligarch friends. What he did for his German teacher living in Tel Aviv is remarkable.
