BEIRUT (Reuters) - The anti-government Free Syrian Army has ordered its fighters to stop offensive operations pending a meeting with Arab League delegates monitoring President Bashar al-Assad's compliance with a peace plan, the rebels' commander said on Friday.
"We have tried to communicate with them and we requested a meeting with the team. So far there hasn't been any success. We haven't been given any of the (phone) numbers for the monitors, which we have requested. No one has contacted us either."
The Arab League mission has met with strong skepticism from the outset, over its makeup, its small numbers, its reliance on Syrian government logistics and an initial assessment by its Sudanese chief that the situation was "reassuring."
That comment was met with disbelief in the West on Wednesday but on Friday, Syria's ally Russia accepted the judgment.
Syria says it is fighting Islamist militants steered from abroad who have killed more than 2,000 of its security forces personnel. Activist sources do not dispute that there has been a significant toll among the security forces.
Most foreign journalists, including Reuters correspondents, are banned from the country, making it impossible to verify the reports on the ground.....snip~

The Syrian Rebels are now more and more being introduced to the World. It would seem Assad was telling the Truth about those outside sources. Notice how the West directs all it's comments at Assad and his government. Yet say nothing to the Syrian Sunni Rebels. Basically what the West wants is Assad to give up power and give it to the Syrian Sunni. So they need to stop shooting and killing the Rebels. Only the Rebels are allowed to shoot and kill Assad and his Government Troops.
Plus now the Sunni have little kids holding up signs asking for.....you guessed it! A No Fly Zone!
