U.S. Ambassador to NATO Ivo H. Daalder spells out conditions for ''NATO INTERVENTION IN SYRIA''

U.S. Ambassador to NATO Ivo H. Daalder drew the lessons prom the Libyan precedent before the Atlantic Council, on 7 November 2011.

In the discussion that followed, the first question centered on a possible intervention in Syria. The ambassador then laid down three conditions for achieving this:

a compelling situation (in Libya, international public opinion was made to believe that Gaddafi was about to raze Benghazi);
regional support (the Arab League);
an international mandate (for now, the BRICS countries - including Russia and China which hold veto power at the Security Council - are opposed to it).
Inversely, from this reply it is possible to infer the strategy of the US:
pin on Bashar Assad the intention of razing Homs;
enlist support from the GCC and the Arab League;
put pressure on Russia and China.
