MESOP TODAYS OPINION : Defeating Assad Brings about Hezbollah’s Downfall / By Abdulrahman Al-Rashed
17 June 20106 – Asharq al awsat – Since its establishment in the early 80s, the Lebanon based militant group known as Hezbollah had yet to suffer the losses it now experiences in Syria. The losses encountered with the Syrian civil war outweigh all those undergone against Israel combined.With continuous draining of strengths, the most optimistic estimations place Hezbollah’s loss at a thousand members of its elite, while other estimations speak of at least a 3,000 lost.

51 U. S. DIPLOMATS SEND “RED CARD” TO OBAMA – Dozens of U.S. Diplomats, in Memo, Urge Strikes Against Syria’s Assad
By MARK LANDLER – JUNE 16, 2016 – NEW YORK TIMES
WASHINGTON — More than 50 State Department diplomats have signed an internal memo sharply critical of the Obama administration’s policy in Syria, urging the United States to carry out military strikes against the government of President Bashar al-Assad to stop its persistent violations of a cease-fire in the country’s five-year-old civil war. The memo, a draft of which was provided to The New York Times by a State Department official, says American policy has been “overwhelmed” by the unrelenting violence in Syria. It calls for “a judicious use of stand-off and air weapons, which would undergird and drive a more focused and hard-nosed U.S.-led diplomatic process.” Read all : http://www.mesop.de/?p=75113
