NEW YORK – On the eve of a critical Capitol Hill discussion on Syria and two days before his address to the nation, President Obama has offered Syrian President Bashar al-Assad a way out of any U.S. bombing campaign.
Informed Middle Eastern intelligence officials tell WND the U.S. passed a message to Assad through Russia offering a deal that would ensure against U.S. military action if the Syrian leader agrees to the following terms:
Serious political reforms that will result in free and fair presidential elections. Assad will not be allowed to run in future presidential elections and agrees to step down from power. An international committee will supervise control of Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal. The international community, with U.S. participation, will help rebuild the Syrian army and security services to guarantee participation from all factions of the population. The model for this reorganization is the so-called Dayton plan that has been overseeing the restructuring of the Palestinian Authority security organizations and militias.
The Middle Eastern security officials told WND that Russia has already objected to the term that bars Assad from running in future presidential elections.
The security officials further stated the U.S. believes Assad will likely reject the deal.
The officials said Russian, North Korean and Iranian experts continue to prepare Syria’s military and missile arsenal for the possibility of war, including the contingency of firing missiles at Israel, Jordan and Turkey.
As WND first reported, Iranian and North Korean experts are directing an operations room for the Syrian army ahead of a possible showdown with Western powers, according to informed Middle Eastern security officials.

Those were from May. Interesting to note.
“Obumster is offering Assad an Affordable Care Act!”
“If you like your country you can keep it.”
Amazing how these secrets always get leaked out on the Internet when 0 is surrounded by a staff that all have “security clearances”...surey couldn’t be intentional could it?
Errrr..sorry. Time to get on the pc and off the small screen
I’d like to see Zero trade jobs with the rodeo clown. Anyone who goes nose to nose with a Brahma bull could deal with Syrians.
Zero would just wet himself as he is pounded into dust.
I wonder what Islamic Brotherhood fellow obama has in mind
to run Should Assad agrees to step down. The president of the strongest country in the world, helping islamic brother-
hood. BLECK!
Obama may have his hands tightly on the football. As soon as the Congress approves a strike, he’ll pull a Lucy and yank the ball with a negotiated settlement. It could happen as he’s meeting with Republican Congress critters this very night.
Assad to obama: Nuts
obama is not in a position of power here, no one supports his asinine idea
Gee, why doesn’t the Clown go to the UN?
re: “Serious political reforms that will result in free and fair presidential elections. Assad will not be allowed to run in future presidential elections and agrees to step down from power. . . “
So, Obama wants Assad to step down and then they’ll have “free elections”, and they’ll “unite” all the differing factions, and, the UN will oversee their chemical weapons and restructure their military - WOW! And, I guess unicorns and pigs will fly, too!
If Assad agrees to this, which I doubt, this is just going to be a repeat of Egypt or worse.
Here we go - according to this source (which I am unfamiliar with), it was Washington that rejected the deal. The translation is poor - but, you will get the point.
> Obama has
- No evidence Assad used WMD
- No UN Security Council Resolution to use force
- No “Coalition of the Willing” to apply force
- No Congressional Approval to use force
- No support from the American People to use force
- No money to pay for the use of force
Assad has all the cards, Obama has a teleprompter.
FAIL
Good summary
Washington refused:
And if Assad calls his bluff?
Obama will claim there were no conditions and no agreement and he didn’t even talk to Assad and he has never even heard of Assad or Syria and never claimed that he did.
