CIA spies have smuggled up to 14 Stinger missiles into Syria so rebels can defend themselves from air strikes.

The ground-to-air weapons have been delivered across the Turkish border to the Free Syrian Army and were partly paid for by Saudi Arabia, a security source claimed.

President Bashar al-Assad’s MIG-23 warplanes and helicopter gunships have killed more than 1,000 people.

I love how the picture has a tag on the bottom saying this is what a stinger missile looks like. Those are not stingers. These media pukes are just so incompetent.

All fine and good. However, we have no business taking any sides in this civil war. Nothing good can come of it.

Frankly, I disagree. It appears that the unrest in Syria is the work of various intelligence agencies. I'd like to believe we still have that ability, but currently the likely choices are 1) Turkey 2)Saudi Arabia 3)Israel. The reasoning is quite simple and straightforward, that being we, and our allies are finally getting serious about taking on Iran. The last thing we want, is for Hezballah to be raining missiles down on Israel, and getting re-supplied from Syria. The Israeli's will spend their time in this coming war, mopping up Hezballah, and cleaning out all the fortified bunker systems they have implemented throughout southern Lebanon. Once Syria is peeled away from Iran (hopefully at great financial and military cost to Iran), Iran will be more receptive to negotiation. Unfortunately, it looks like the game plan is a little behind and the Iranians do look like they're going to cross the goal line before this plan comes to completion, but even if Syria isn't taken out by the time we get around to Iran, they will be pretty busy putting out fires around their country, too busy to worry about Israel.

Wait till one is used against an American airliner.

Did you mean to say:

Wait until an American airliner has a center fuel tank explosion catastrophic engine failure...

It is hard to tell who or what side some folks are on these days.

That has been a problem from the beginning of time.
