Assad is supposedly going to give up his chemical weapons now he is going to call for a ceasefire which he knows the rebels will never accept. He is also probably trying to get assurances that he will never be tried in any international courts if he were to step down ( insurance policy ). If he can get a political settlement that leaves him in power even if he had to give up most his powers then great he would be happy with that. If the rebels say no as they will then he will say they are terrorists and not interested in peace and carry on fighting but try to get the west to stop supporting the rebels because he is interested in a peaceful solution but the rebels who they are supporting want the fighting to continue. After 2.5 years of fighting I cannot see Assad coming out with the white flag and say stalemate lets end this thing now. Assad is a snake and he won't accept any deal that involves him surrendering anymore than he will give up his chemical weapons.

If your going to execute Asama at least make sure that the gallows are made of pure gold and the noose is of gold wire. Nobody is going to execute the Assads and if this guy is legitimately representing the regime and not talking as an individual who has lost faith in Assad then is playing games just buying for time because Assad is not going to fight and trying to get the international community on his side because he knows the rebels will never accept a diplomatic solution.. I get the impression that he is speaking about secret conversations he has had with Assad but was not supposed to tell anybody if he is admitting that the economy is in such bad shape and that there is a stalemate. I certainly do not see Assad wanting a diplomatic settlement that will lead to a democratic Syria. If anything I would have thought Assad feels strengthened because Putin has just made sure nobody takes military action against him so now all he has to worry about are the rebels.
