ARAB LEAGUE MONITORS AND THEN WHAT?

It is very evident the AL is realizing more and more each day what it truly means to be "in charge" of an event.

For years they have dreamed of being the respected agency allowed to deal with " matters" in the Middle East.

Well, as I said a few weeks ago... be careful what you ask for!

The Colonial Powers seem more than willing to let the AL take the lead with the Syrian event.

The AL has discovered it is much easier to hold a press conference than it is to actually achieve an objective.

The next trick they have now encountered is being " played" by the very people they are supposed to be helping.

Yep.. the AL is on the other side of the fence for once. 

It's easy to complain you don't get a chance to take care of your own matters.. it's another to be manipulated once you are given the chance.

Being manipulated  is exactly what many believe the SNC is doing with the AL Observer mission.

There has been more press about the inequalities of the Observers and the lack of real progress by the mission than there has been about the good they are trying to accomplish.

Welcome to the real world AL!!!

When someone is in a position of complaining and protesting.. a little of something is never enough.

So what is the next move?

The FSA leadership is threatening a rapid increase in attacks and I would bet this is about to happen.

If there is one thing the Observer mission allowed, it was giving the opposition time to regroup, move into position  and be ready to go on the attack.

Did the Observer mission buy the opposition time to get ready for the next level of attacks?

Probably so!

Responsibility is what the AL asked for...

I think they may have misunderstood that with responsibility comes accountability!!!

Again.. Welcome to the Big League... Arab League!!!
