New York Times: U.N. Envoy for Syria Says Peace Talks Will Begin Friday
GENEVA — The United Nations special envoy for Syria said Monday that he intended to start peace talks between the government and the opposition in Geneva on Friday, but acknowledged that every aspect of the process was shrouded with uncertainty.

They're threatening to walk out over the a$$ whoopin' being handed to them on a daily basis. If they don't want to be ground into powder they should stop making making ridiculous demands and surrender. Their sponsors should also stop encouraging their foolishness.
You are ahead of the curve RRH. The fighting in Daraa is my 21:30 EST post.
