Anti-regime activists say jihadist fighters linked to al-Qaeda fought with rebels to capture a Syrian military air defense base near Aleppo.
Videos posted online Friday apparently shot inside the base say Jabhat al-Nusra participated in the overnight battle for the base. The videos show fighters inspecting lines of large missiles.

Many people, including me, are not so informed about what’s happening in the Middle East. But I want to understand and I’m sure I’m not the only one. so I ask you to help.
What do you mean by “Israel and the US know exactly what they’re doing”? THank you!
Did it occur to you that you are probably wrong?
no, different rebel group than the jihadists
Oh boy, jihadists now control serious anti-aircraft gear. The TSA had better step up the groping of children to counter this.
Hmm.
"Chemical WMDs in Syria are unaccounted for."
WMDs.
Weapons of Mass Destruction.
That just magically appeared from
(crickets)
How would Romney help the rebels more (as he accuses Obama of not doing) without running the same risk of arming Al Qaeda, or of having to put US boots on the ground as Ryan said last night was not the plan.? My son could end up there after he is through in Afghanistan, so I really would like better ideas.
I forgot to post this link with my previous comment.

First things first. Don’t believe the liberal lies. Hang on, Americans have to get past the rest of October and the first days of November first. Stay Calm, and Stay Safe.
Easier said than done, of course. But just this week the Turks interdicted a plane from Russia carrying weapons for Assad. They were probably tipped off with NATO/US intelligence.
The Iranians are using Iraqi airspace to fly lots of weapons to Syria. If we could prevent them from doing that, it would be a big blow to Assad.
>>WMD at the site?

Anybody know what the wooden-framed containers at 1:05 are?
we would be able to prevent them from doing that. Cause we'd still be in charge there.
Maybe we're too good for our own good.
And Biden said Iran doesn’t have a missile for their nuke....
He will have to figure out how to say he is willing to go to war to stop Islamic Terror.
...jihadist fighters linked to al-Qaeda fought with rebels to capture a Syrian military air defense base near Aleppo.
Syria = wagglefoot.
That may not be necessary, since they can construct a crude atomic weapon and place it on one of their cargo ships, a passenger plane, or even one of their old Russian subs.
Problem is....the Iranians are reported to have a compact warhead design. According to many reports and NYT writer James Risen, the Iranians obtained a warhead design in the 90s when Clinton authorized Operation Merlin.
The CIA (allegedly) ran this op in an attempt to send the Iranians down the wrong path. They employed a former Soviet scientist to provide faulty blueprints. Problem is, the scientist gave the Iranians the design and the proper corrections. All they need now is the material to assemble it. Perhaps that explains Netanyahu's redline of weapon's grade material.
In any event, Biden knows they have at least the missile, the raw unrefined material, and the design. He flat out lied and it wasn't the only one in the debate.
Now that the Syrians have really pixxed off the Turks by artillery shelling their civilians, shooting down an airplane and sundry other dumb things, hopefully the Turks will be a lot bolder about interrupting these cross country flights.
If we had a media rather than a Democrat Propaganda Bureau the whole nation would know and there would have never been The Disaster. He would still be just a lazy Senator from Illinois.
As long as we are in the midst of and allied with muslims for particular purposes we must be very careful.
It is not as simple as we might wish.
