The Syrian Foreign Minister has warned that any foreign ground troops who enter the warzone without official approval would be sent home to their countries 'in coffins.'

Syria will see any incursion on its territory as an act of aggression, Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem said today just days after Saudi Arabia announced it was ready to send in ground troops.

'Any ground intervention on Syrian land without the agreement of the Syrian government is an act of aggression ... we regret that those (who invade) will return to their countries in coffins,' al-Moualem told journalists.

Bahrain should send the troops to Barry and Hillary’s house. They created ISIS.

The Bahraini ambassador said the Saudi initiative in Syria was meant to combat both Islamic State and 'the brutal Assad regime', a reference to President Bashar al-Assad, a bitter foe of Saudi Arabia.

They want us to believe they will be fighting a two front war. It sounds like they really want to take on the "brutal Assad regime" first and see about ISIS later, if necessary.

They want us to do it for them.

Saudi Arabia stirs up more trouble than any nation in the world.

Russia is already mopping up Saudi Arabia's Proxy Army ISIS (aka Al-Qaeda). Yes they are Saudi Arabia's Proxy Army in the same way as the French Foreign Legion is the Proxy Army for France.

Syria DID NOT ASK Saudi Arabia for help. Thus, Saudi Arabian troops will most likely get hit by Russian and Syrian forces since Saudi Arabia is trying to DEFENDING THEIR PROXY ARMY ISIS.

This is Saudi Arabia trying to get World War III (or IV since the Cold War was considered World War III) started to help raise those sinking gas prices. Saudi Arabia has NO BUSINESS being in Syria.

I’ve yet to muster up enough give-a-spit to try and figure out who the “good” guys are here, but I’m really thinking the more the merrier (as long as it’s not us, and the Kurds stay out of the way). Saudis, ISIS, al Queda, Assad, Turkey, Iran and friends — put ‘em all in a box and let the Russians pick up the cost of blowing them to hell.

This is Obama’s fault. He’s killed far more Muslims than Bush ever dreamed of.

If the Saudis were to take on Assad’s army, then they will get decimated and the remnants would join ISIS.

Do you know for certain that the Saudi’s have not hired several retired American officers to consult and guide their efforts?

Yes the Saudis can't even get their neighbor Yemen under control and now they want to take on Assad and Russia.

We are going to need more butter for our popcorn.

If they were serious, they would be hiring retired Russian officers. They get the job done.

There will be no Russians and there are American officers that would serve very well

What most Americans don’t know and wouldn’t believe is that Americans built modern Saudi Arabia and as individuals and companies were hired as surrogates to develop the various modern ministries and many businesses. One of the most prominent was Saudi Arabian Bechtel that was a quasi government organization
