So, the Soviet Union is giving Assad carte blance to do whatever he pleases to his people, with full protection at the UN....how convenient
The Soviets and Iranians are supplying weapons and support to Assad, as well as there being a Soviet aircraft carrier and battle group on the waters near the Syrian shore, on the ready for any country who dares try to stop the murderous force of Assad.
The bad news for the Syrian people is that NObama has told the Arab leaders of the world that the US will not intervene in Syria, or give any of the Arab countries support in their attempts to protect the people of Syria...... once again, the mighty old US of A is being punked off by Iran, and the Soviets as well
In a bizarre twist, the rebels are getting help from Al-Qaeda, who have committed terror attacks against the Syrian police/security forces, with the full backing of Al-Zawahiri, the new leader of the organization since Bin Laden was killed.
Im having a hard time trying to decide whos worse, Al Qaeda or Iran......probably Iran, since they are 99.999% nuclear capable (if not now, they will be in the coming month)
