Russia, one of President Bashar al-Assad's strongest allies despite international condemnation of the government's violent crackdown on the country's uprising, has repeatedly blocked the United Nations Security Council's attempts to halt the violence, accusing the U.S. and its allies of trying to start another war.

Gee, for some reason this is the first I've heard of that little factoid.

When such a charge is leveled, by a foreign power, against a Republican president, you hear about it 24-7. Bette Midler's immortal rendition of From A Distance gets resurrected for back-to-back airplay once again.

They —ANYONE— need to secure the chem weapons there and make sure they do not fall into the hands of VERY BAD PEOPLE.

Which is what did happen in Libya...

Like I said weeks ago, Obama & Hillary telling everyone that Assad’s regime is coming to an end, is absurd.
As long as Iran & the Rusiians support him, he’s there to stay.

Someone explained to them what an S400 can do and its range. This is not Libya.

A trip-wire, like US troops in Korea, are.
NATO doesn’t DARE to intervene in Syria with Russian Troops there.

“Humanitarian Bombing!” in another Obama not-a-war War might kill a Russian Soldier, and that would have HUGE repercussions.

Now Assad has a group of Russians he can send against his upper echelon or they can wisk him away -either, if need be.

His wife, a former investment banker, already golden parachuted to London.

More to the point, Russia would have every right to sell Syria first-tier anti-aircraft defenses. What does Obama do when a US plane is shot down over Syria and the pilot is displayed on international TV?

Maybe they are there just to operate some of the latest stuff Assad bought from the Russkies...but they are there.
