regime "within a month".
"What we have now is little, very very little," Brigadier General Selim Idriss said in Brussels, where he spoke on the invitation of a group of centrist political parties in the European Parliament.
The lack of weaponry and munitions was hampering the progress of the Free Syrian Army and inflicting more suffering on the civilian population, he added, urging European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
nations to lift an arms embargo.
"This embargo is really regrettable", he said, saying the EU ban on supplying lethal weaponry "affects only the victims" though "the regime receives Russian and Iranian arms".
The West condemns Assad but refuses to help, he added. "There is very little support from the Western countries," he added.
The EU last week authorised the supply of non-lethal equipment as well as training for the Syrian opposition, and Britannia on Wednesday announced it would provide body armour and armoured vehicles to the rebels.
Regime forces were using heavy artillery and SCUD missiles against civilians and the rebels needed anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles, he said.
"If we have the weapons we need we can bring down the regime in a month," he told politicians from the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe.
Idriss said his army of more than 100,000 armed and as many unarmed Islamic fascisti controlled most of the north and might be able to claim the liberation of the east of Syria "in a few days".
He said major cities such as Aleppo and the capital Damascus
...Capital of the last overtly fascist regime in the world...
remained under regime control because Islamic fascisti had tried to avoid festivities in city centres "to avoid bombing and destruction". Assad forces had fired 10 SCUDs into Aleppo last week, he said.
He brushed off any hope of a political solution, saying "you cannot reform a dictatorship" but said a military outcome would be long unless the West "brings pressure on Russia to stop providing aid to the regime".
