Western intelligence officials say that Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has personally sanctioned the dispatch of the experienced officers to ensure that the Assad regime, Iran's most important regional ally, survives the threat to its survival.

In addition, Iran has shipped hundreds of tons of military equipment, including guns, rockets, and shells, to Syria through the regular air corridor that has been established between Damascus and Tehran.

The Revolutionary Guards officers were flown to Damascus in chartered Iranian aircraft which were given permission to fly through Iraqi air space. Iranian military equipment is said to have been shipped to Syria by the same route.

Poor choice. They shouldn't be surprised when these weapons and personnel begin turning up in significant numbers within Iraqi borders.

The turmoil in Syria and Iraq might be the opening Israel needs. The IAF should be able to solve Syrian air defences without too much trouble.

Who controls Iraqi airspace? The Iraqis do not have an air force. If the airspace is that open, Israel was just handed the keys to attacking Iran with its powerful but short legged air force.

Just start with offing the officers. Shouldn’t be too hard to find.

Israel (and including America) only talk aloud of attacking Iran or its nuclear plant, telling the world as if they are enemies, but when in actual fact they are collaborating when come to destroying the sunni Muslims.
