"According to the latest reports that are now being verified, a foreign special task force has been deployed in Syria," Pushkov Alexei Puskhov, the chairman of Russia's lower house of parliament, the Duma reporters on Friday. "If these reports are proved to be true, the scenario will be absolutely the same as it was in Libya."

According to Pushkov, "they [the alleged foreign task force on the ground in Syria] are supporting the opposition and supplying them with arms; they propose an unbalanced resolution that places rigid conditions on Syria's ruling regime, while giving in to the demands of the opposition."

Russia vetoed a UN Security Council resolution condemning the violence, causing anger and disappointment in the international community and inside Syira. Thousands of people demonstrated across the country against Moscow.

There might be upwards of 10,000 Syrian deserters and a sizeable command staff getting organized and trained in Jordan. $ from the Saudi’s, training from the Qatari’s, leftover weapons from Libya.
