Thanks for the post. Puttie is having a ball over how things are shaping up.
No response required. Only one that follows all these things as they develop.

Curious. Seems to me Assad really needs is more help on the ground with the rebels. No naval forces are attacking him, right? Surely he can’t be feeling threatened from hussein?

There might be a problem with antiship cruise missiles being passed from Syria to Hezbollah...which nailed an Israeli ship in 2006, IIRC.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-ship_missile
“In 2006, Lebanese Hezbollah fighters fired an AShM at the Israeli corvette INS Hanit, inflicting battle damage, but this warship managed to return to Israel in one piece and under its own power. A second missile in this same salvo struck and sank an Egyptian merchant ship.”

So if they go to Syria,...why not also Iran?
I think the slaughter House will continue.

No, he’s protecting the navy base at Tartus. He doesn’t really cares who wins as long as everyone understands the Russians will defend their new naval base. There’s no way he would give Assad anti-ship missiles if he was’t pretty confident that even if Assad loses, the winners wouldn’t use them against the Russians.

Assad or the Muslim Brotherhood/AlQaeda? Assad the better alternative.

Fair question, which I do not have an answer to.
"I think the slaughter House will continue."
I agree.
