(AP) UNITED NATIONS – Former Algerian foreign affairs minister Lakhdar Brahimi is a strong candidate to replace Kofi Annan as peace envoy to Syria, diplomats said Thursday. Diplomats who requested anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly said that Brahimi was a strong possibility, while other contenders are ex-Spanish foreign affairs minister Miguel Angel Moratinos and Spain’s Javier Solana, a former NATO chief and 카지노사이트 European Union foreign policy head. Annan, a former U.N. secretary-general, announced his resignation last week as joint U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria, ending a frustrating six-month effort that failed to achieve even a temporary cease-fire. He leaves at the end of the month. Clashes rage in rebel bastions of Syria’s AleppoVideo: Amid defections, Syria names new PM Divisions within the Security Council prevented a united approach to stop the fighting in in Syria, Annan said when he announced his resignation. Russia and China have twice used their veto power to block strong Western- and Arab-backed action against President Bashar Assad’s regime. While he singled out the regime for blame for the escalating violence, Annan also said the opposition’s increasingly militant tactics contributed to dooming his six-point peace plan, which included a cease-fire and a Syrian-led political process to end the crisis. Annan did succeed in getting the Syrian government and its allies to at least agree to the plan. Brahimi, 78, served as...

ISAF spokesman Brig. Gen. Gunter Katz told CBS News the latest attack is, “tragic, but doesn’t reflect the security situation.” He calls the shooting an “isolated incident”. “We’re confident this won’t stop operations,” he said. “We trust our Afghan partners. But we’re looking at how to mitigate incidents.” White House press secretary Jay Carney said he didn’t want to “diminish at all the seriousness of the attack” but “it is important within the context here to recognize that missions … are being conducted ever day, every hour involving U.S. forces and the 330,000 Afghan forces.” He added that the U.S. military “believes that the operational impact [of the attacks] has been negligible.” The Afghan security forces have established an eight-point vetting process. Katz explained that recruits require two letters from local elders as a character reference as well as biometric, medical and drugs checks, but ISAF is still working with the Afghan forces to improve this process. Nonetheless, early in 2012, top U.S. commander Gen. John Allen ordered American units to select a “guardian angel” to watch over fellow troops, even as they sleep, at joint U.S.-Afghan bases and on joint operations involving live fire – a direct response to the mounting green-on-blue attacks. Last year, a U.S. Army team led by a behavioral scientist produced a 70-page survey that revealed both Afghan and American soldiers hold disturbingly negative perceptions of the other. According to the survey, many Afghan security personnel found U.S. troops “extremely arrogant, bullying and unwilling to listen to their advice” and sometimes lacking concern about Afghans’ safety in combat. They accused the Americans of ignoring female privacy and using denigrating names for Afghans. American troops, in turn, often accused Afghan troops and police of “pervasive illicit drug use, massive thievery, personal instability, dishonesty, no integrity,” the survey said. U.S. military officials have downplayed that survey. The U.S. hopes the Afghan Local Police, a village defense force backed by the national government, will become a key force in fighting the insurgency.

Among Barr’s platforms are eliminating taxes, forgiving all student loans and eliminating the monetary system in the United States

(CBS) On “The Tonight Show” Thursday Roseanne Barr said she’s running for president. Of the United States. For real. “You know, Jay,” said Barr, “I decided that since you’re the one that got Arnold Schwarzenegger elected as governor of California that I wanted to make my announcement here on your show because I really want to ask for your support. My announcement is that I am running for president of the United States.” After she made the announcement, ticker tape fell from above and then Barr joked she also wanted to be prime minister of Israel. “I want to represent the taxpayers,” she said, “and in fact, I’m choosing the taxpayers as my vice president.” Barr credited Palin with her decision to do a reality show (Barr stars in “Roseanne’s Nuts” on Lifetime, about her macadamia and livestock farm). “I feel like she’s stealing my act anyway,” said Barr. Among Barr’s platforms are eliminating taxes, forgiving all student loans and eliminating the monetary system in the United States. And she claims she’s serious, 포커 게임 종류 sending out a tweet about her decision.
