LONDON (Reuters) - Britain has abandoned plans to arm Syrian rebels fighting to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad and believes he might survive in office for years, sources familiar with government thinking say.
The sources also told Reuters that a peace conference to try to end the conflict - now in its third year - might not happen until next year if at all.
"Britain is clearly not going to arm the rebels in any way, shape or form," said one source, pointing to a parliamentary motion passed last week urging prior consultation of lawmakers.
The reasons for the shift were that British public opinion was largely opposed, and there were fears that any weapons Britain supplied could fall into the hands of Islamist militants.
"It will train them, give them tactical advice and intelligence, teach them command and control. But public opinion, like it or not, is against intervention."
The British position amounted to one of the gloomiest assessments of the rebels' prospects yet ............ Thank God for small favors. Obama still intends to arm and maybe even use airstrikes by American military to aid his muslim pals. If he does so he should be charged and arrested immediately for it's aiding our known enemy the Islamic terrorists !!!!! How to arrest a sitting president I haven't a clue but then again none before this bastard have ever been a damn traitor! -Tyr
