The gist of it is this: Assad cannot even maintain control of his own missle bases and (by inference) his own weapons of mass destruction.
Please tell us, yet again, how this guy is a competant leader and a stabilizing force in the region?
,so was Libya Originally posted by Ben81
why would they risk a world war with Russia and China ?
The Russian Navy may evacuate the Syrian port of Tartus in the event of a hostile attack, the military branch’s chief was quoted as by Russia Today.
The personnel on duty at the base will be moved out of the area if need be, Vice Adm. Viktor Chirkov said during a radio interview.
Such a move, however, would require the direct order of the president, Chirkov added.
The opposition Free Syrian Army has previously threatened to target Russian bases in Syria.
Over 50 sailors and officers are currently serving at the Tartus base, which is used for the repair and refueling of Russian vessels, according to Russia Today.

lame attempt at discrediting Assad imo,Syria was pretty fn stable before NATO showed up,so was Libya
Now Alfsa-qaeda maniacs may posses chemical weapons/wmd,why this can be viewed as a good thing defies logic..

Only one side has mentioned their use, those provoking this fight. Should Assad just stand by and let terrorists assume control? There isnt a sine nation that would stand back and let some band of hoods backed by foreign powers waltzz in and take over. And if it is a civil war what business is it of ours anyway to pick sides? Only those with their own agenda like to stick their noses in the trough with the rest of the pigs.

Because IMATIT is snake,on the flag waving ,warmonger's side ,who wants to see blood flow in Iran while he defends the poor defenseless people of Syria,while they get caught in the cross-fire,by actions created and supported by HIS government!
All the while knowing quote:"By destroying their military and leadership, occupying them for a brief period of time to install a democratic government, before withdrawing our forces,...we have seen, time and again, the country fall into the hands of terrorist groups, anarchy, or even more vile dictators.
In the end, what evolves is a country that is even less stabilized and conducive to world or regional peace"
