Report: Iranian Special Forces Are Marching Into Syria
Gateway Pundit ^ | 2/8/12 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 02/08/2012 10:36:50 AM PST by Nachum

The Turkish news is reporting that Iran Quds forces are marching into Syria to quash the rebellion. The Tatler reported:

According to the Turkish newspaper, Sabah, the commander of the Quds forces, Qassem Soleimani and 15,000 of his fighters have entered Syria with the mission of assisting in the suppression of the Syrian protestors. The Quds forces will act as a firewall for the Assad regime as the Syrian army is finding itself in a difficult situation where many officers are joining the opposition because they do not approve of the mass killings of the civilians, which so far has taken the lives of more than 5,000 people.

Hmmm, another conflict. We are doing something, but nobody is sure what. Just in time for the Israeli elections. Coincidence? Naaahh... couldn't be.

Really?

Since Syria has no border with Iran are these 15,000 troops marching across Iraq or Turkey to get there?

Via Latakia where Iran has had a large military presence for sometime now.

“”Iran Quds forces are marching into Syria””


I would like the rest of the story. Through which country are they marching?

If Iraq is giving passage to Iranian soldiers, then we need to remind the American voters that it was Obama who made that possible by removing all US soldiers from Iraq.

If this story has any truth, the American public had better be righteously angry.

Since turkey is the staging area for the Qatar mercenaries, who knows who is telling the truth.

"Qassem Soleimani and 15,000 of his fighters have entered Syria with the mission of assisting in the suppression of the Syrian protestors."

So, Iran now effectively has 15,000 troops on the border of Israel...

Wow! They REALLY want to intervene in Syria,, don’t they? This morning the fake babies in incubators story,, and now,,Iranian ninjas invading!!

Ok,,for me, it’s like this. When Iranians were openly murdering American soldiers with IEDs in Iraq,, NOBODY in the US govt cared. So now,, i don’t care if iranians are involved in Syria. No US intervention in Syria. I canot think of a single US interest there.

Angry, why it is not any of our business. Other than the pack of lies coming out of the UN, who knows. We damn sure do not want another Egypt and Libya, with the brotherhood holding billions of dollars of military equipment.

It would take at least 4 troop carriers and 3-5 supply ships to move and equip that many troops. Iran doesn’t have that capacity. Did they get moved on Rusian ships? I don’t think so. A troop movement of that size would have been spotted going through the canal or docking in Syria.

Ok, so you say that Iran will be transporting a full combat division (with logistic support) through the Red Sea (bordered by their enemy Saudi Arabia) to the Suez Canal to be deployed in Syria...that about right?

You may be right but two questions arise...

Since the Iranian navy's largest ship is a frigate(5), are they going to hire a Carnival Line cruise ship?

What is the source of your information? It is not the posted article.

Syria was aligned with Iran (which is Shiite Muslim), but the Syrian population is 74% Sunni. Just the recipe for unrest.

The more people the Iranians lose in Syria, the fewer they will have to create mischief elsewhere.

I bet they bypassed Damascus and went straight for the Golan Heights.

Idea for the Mosaad on this one because this is too close to the Isralei border... Get a pack of 200-lb Mastiffs with attitude to face off the Iranians... The Dog-fear on both religious and physical levels should be telling.

If this whole thing doesn’t remind you of “Lucy and the Candy Factory”, I don’t know what does.
