Nostradamus I,47
The deliberation from the lake of Geneva will be annoying.
They will stretch over days, weeks,
Months and even years, and in the end they will fail,
The world leaders will damn their useless decisions.
Nostradamus V,47
The great Arab (Assad?) will march on
But his ambition will be undermined by the Turks (Turkey).
Ancient Rhodes (Greek navy?) will move against him
And harm will threaten him from the Panonians [the Balkan
nations]
Nostradamus I,50
Of the three waters there will be born
One that will make Thursday its holiday (USA).
Its fame, praise, rule and power will grow,
By land and sea. It will appear as a tempest to the orient.

Along
with no-fly zone plans, the White House is considering arming parts of the
Syrian opposition and formally recognizing the Syrian opposition council,
reports Josh Rogin.

President
Obama’s dual-track strategy of continuing to pursue a political solution to the
two-year-old uprising in Syria while also preparing for more direct U.S.
military involvement includes authorizing the Joint Chiefs of Staff for the
first time to plan for multilateral military actions inside Syria, the two
officials said. They added that no decisions on actually using force have yet
been made.
“The
White House is still in contemplation mode but the planning is moving forward
and it’s more advanced than it’s ever been,” one administration official told
The Daily Beast. “All this effort to pressure the regime is part of the overall
effort to find a political solution, but what happens if Geneva fails? It’s
only prudent to plan for other options.”

Critics of the administration,
including McCain, doubt that the new Geneva conference—coming a year after the
earlier summit produced the Communiqué that called for an end to violence and
democratic transition –will produce any progress toward a political solution.
They also doubt that the Russians are committed to such a solution, considering
that they continue to provide
arms to the Assad regime. But Kerry has continued to endorse and push for the
conference as a way to begin real negotiations between the regime and the
opposition.
The Geneva conference will
happen at about the same time as a huge set of military exercises conducted in
Jordan called “Eager Lion,” which will include 15,000
troops from 18 countries, including the United States. The U.S. could leave
military assets in Jordan following the exercise that might be useful for a
no-fly zone, such as F-16 fighter aircraft.
