to one hundred by the end of the month just earlier the u.n. security council approved the deployment of three hundred un observers the fore front group if you want observers is already in syria and everyone agrees that the u.n. needs more eyes on the ground to make sure that all sides of the conflict are doing their part because the plan addresses government forces as well as opposition forces and you have people there who don't like supplant the opposition has not come up with a common response or whether they're going to engage in a dialogue with the government to work out a political solution to the crisis and that dialogue is also part of the plan as far as the u.s. washington says it supports the plan but at the same time they kind of expect it's failure here is what secretary of state hillary clinton said the u.s. is preparing for the potential failure of kofi annan plan to end the violence in syria and it will take additional steps against the syrian government if it does russia on the other hand sees the end as planned as the only way to bring about
