Syrian opposition forces frustrated
with Obama's diplomatic decisions
0
Rebels upset by
U.S. unfulfilled
promises to help
BEIRUT (AP) - Syrian oppo-
sition forces feel let down and
more divided than ever because
of President Barack Obama's
decision to seek a diplomatic
path to disarming Damascus of
its chemical weapons.
Many rebels who had held out
hopes that U.S.-led strikes on
President Bashar Assad's govern-
ment would help tip the scales as
the two sides faced a deadly stale-
mate said America has indirectly
given the embattled leader a sec-
ond wind as a statesman negoti-
ating with world powers.
"We're on our own," Moham-
mad Joud, an opposition fighter in
the war-shattered northern city of
Aleppo, said via Skype. "I always
knew that, but thanks to Obama's
shameful conduct, others are wak-
ingup to this reality as well."
Rebels who have been fighting
for 2 1/ years to topple Assad say
the U.S. has repeatedlyreneged on
promises to assist their rebellion,
offering only rhetoric. In June,
Obama announced he would pro-
vide lethal aid to the rebels, but
so far none of that assistance has
gotten to the opposition and the
Syrian leader's forces have gained
the advantage.
Violence continued Wednes-
day when government war-
planes hit a field hospital in the
town of al-Bab near Aleppo,
killing 11 people and wounding
dozens more, according to the
Britain-based Syrian Observato-
ry for Human Rights. The group,
which relies on reports from
activists on the ground, said a
Yemeni doctor was among those
killed in the airstrike.
After a feverish campaign
to win over Congress and the
American people to support
military strikes against Syria,
Obama said Tuesday he would
give diplomacy more time to
H- o,
rid the country of its chemical
weapons arsenal that Wash-
ington says was used to gas and
kill more than 1,400 people on
Aug. 21 in rebel-held parts of the
Ghouta area outside Damascus.
The death toll has not been con-
firmed, but even conservative
estimates from international
organizations put it as at least
several hundred.
The president did not say how
long he would wait.
Although Obama had said the
attacks would be limited in time
and scope with no intention of
dislodging Assad, rebel com-
manders had planned to try to
exploit them to shift the momen-
tum in their favor after months
of being on the defensive in
what has become a war of attri-
tion. Several rebels said they
were opposed "in principle" to
U.S. intervention but saw it as a
necessity to change the situation
on the ground.
However, Assad, who has
denied his forces were respon-
sible for the attack and instead
blamed rebels, fended off the
threat of military action, at
least for now, by agreeing to
relinquish his chemical weapon
stocks under a plan initiated by
Russia.
"Assad's regime is going to be
stronger because while they've
agreed to give up their chemical
weapons, they get to keep every-
thing else to fight the opposition
that has lost territory in the past
year and has now suffered a big
blow," said Ayham Kamel, a Mid-
dle East analyst at the Eurasia
Group in London. "The opposi-
tion will struggle with morale
and sense of purpose."
Moreover, the opposition
has been hobbled by increasing
infighting between al-Qaida-
affiliated militants and more
moderate rebels as well as
between militants and ethnic
Kurds in the country's northeast.
An influx of more sophisticated
weapons from Saudi Arabia ear-
lier this year does not appear to
have made a significant mark on
the ground, where Assad's forces
are on the offensive.

Families mourn lost
loved ones at World
Trade Center site
NEW YORK (AP) - Life in
lower Manhattan resembled any
ordinary day on Wednesday as
workers rushed to their jobs in
the muggy heat, but time stood
still at the World Trade Center
site while families wept for loved
ones who perished in the terror
attacks 12 years ago.
For the families, the memo-
ries of that day are still vivid,
the pain still acute. Some who
read the names of a beloved big
brother or a cherished daugh-
ter could hardly speak through
their tears.
"Has it really been 12 years?
Or 12 days? Sometimes it feels
the same," said Michael Fox,
speaking aloud to his brother,
Jeffrey, who perished in the
south tower. "Sometimes I reach
for the phone so I can call you,
and we can talk about our kids
like we used to do every day."
On the memorial plaza over-
looking two reflecting pools in
the imprint of the twin towers,
relatives recited the names of
the nearly 3,000 people who
died when hijacked jets crashed
into the towers, the Pentagon
and in a field near Shanksville,
Pa. They also recognized the
victims of the 1993 trade center
bombing.
Bells tolled to mark the planes
hitting the towers and the
moments when the skyscrapers
fell.
In Washington, Presi-
dent Barack Obama, first lady
Michelle Obama, Vice President
Joe Biden and wife Jill Biden
walked out to the White House's
South Lawn for a moment of
silence at 8:46 a.m. - the time
the first plane struck the south
tower in New York. Another jet-
liner struck the Pentagon at 9:37
a.m.
"Our hearts still ache for the
futures snatched away, the lives
that might have been," Obama
said.
A moment of silence was also
held at the U.S. Capitol.
In New York, loved ones
milled around the memorial
site, making rubbings of names,
putting flowers by the names of
victims and weeping, arm-in-
arm. Former Gov. George Pataki,
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie
and others were in attendance.
As with last year, no politicians
spoke. Mayor Michael Bloom-
berg watched the ceremony for
his final time in office.
Carol Eckna recalled the con-
tagious laugh of her son, Paul
Robert Eckna, who was killed in
the north tower.
"Just yesterday, you were 28,"
she said. "Today, you are 40. You
are forever young. Dad and I are
proud tobe your parents."
The anniversary arrived amid
changes at the Flight 93 National
Memorial in Shanksville, where
construction started Tuesday on
a new visitor center. On Wednes-
day, the families of the passen-
gers and crew aboard United
Flight 93 recalled their loved
ones as heroes for their unselfish
and quick actions. The plane was
hijacked with the likely goal of
crashing it into the White House
or Capitol, but passengers tried
to overwhelm the attackers and
the plane crashed into the field.
All aboard died.
"In a period of 22 minutes,
our loved ones made history,"
said Gordon Felt, president
of the Families of Flight 93,
whose brother, Edward, was a
passenger.

Geraldine Davie of Pelham, N.Y., cries after viewing name of her 23-year-old daughter, Amy O'Doherty, on the wall at
the Sept.11 memorial during the 12th anniversary observance of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.
O'Doherty was killed in the Sept.11, 2001 attack.
