The irony is that the same Bashar Al-Assad proposed for ARAB/OIC combined force for peacekeeping/ intervention in Moslem countries in the OIC head of the state meeting few years back. Its petty that they are trying to apply his medicine on hos wounds only.
Bashar tried to stop the killings in his country by any means necessarily from the beginning, but the gulf states at the time refused and were expecting Libya-style change where Bashar would be caught and executed. They were expecting it to be a matter of months at most. That is why they preached for war and funded the FSA with money and weapons. That didn't go so well for them. the Syrian army was "loosing" in the beginning because the FSA focused on checkpoints manned by just a few soldeirs.
The Syrian army changed it's strategy and pulled out of the ruler areas and into the strategic areas. That way they could wait for the FSA to come to them and kill them in mass. That's what the Syrian army has been doing recently and they have managed to kill tens of thousands of the FSA fighters.
The gulf states finally realized that they can't take out Bashar by force so now they are trying to stop the bloodshed that they started in the first place. That's why they are calling for peace forces now. It has nothing to do with applying his own "medicine". otherwise its going to continue the way it is for years to come
I do think it's a good Idea, but without any troops from the gulf. I would propose, Egyptian, Algerian, Jordanian, and Iraqi troops; I doubt it will happen though.
