Syria army
'storms' rebel town Qusair: Syrian government forces are storming the rebel
stronghold of Qusair, with state TV saying troops now control the town
centre.Fighting has gone on around the town, near the Lebanese border, for
weeks.
Opposition groups say militants from the Lebanese Hezbollah movement are
fighting alongside government forces.
Correspondents say Qusair has strategic value for both sides. If the government retakes it, it would ensure access from the capital to the coast. For the rebels, control of Qusair means they can come and go from neighbouring Lebanon, says the BBC's Jim Muir, in Beirut.
About 30 fighters from the
Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and 20 Syrian soldiers and militiamen loyal to
President Bashar al-Assad were killed in heavy fighting with rebels in the town
of Qusair: Opposition sources and state media
gave sharply differing accounts of the outcome of Sunday's ferocious battles in
the town, long used by rebels as a supply route from the nearby Lebanese border
to the provincial capital Homs.
The assault on Qusair appeared to be part of a campaign by Assad's forces to consolidate their grip on Damascus and secure links between the capital and the government strongholds on the coast via the contested central city of Homs.

Islamists on both sides in Syria taking the lead in the fight for new middle east disorder
Syria opposition hits Hezbollah
heartland warning they will attack them if they do not stop interfering in
Syria: They are making Hezbollah pay a heavy toll for their alliance with
Russia, Iran, and Syria but it will not sway them neither will it if their own
country turns against them which it is.
Hezbollah will not stop
and will not be cowed. In many instances they have even taken the lead in trying
to turn around the successes of the rebels. Islamists on both sides of which Al Nusra
on one side and Hezbollah on the other, will and are holding a leading role in
the fighting.
Those involved will get this
total middle east breakdown to the next level. As a whole the so called
civilized Nations of the world are bound and determined to start another world
war they all mistakenly think they will win. Russia China, Iran, they are all
responsible for creating this civil war.
From the beginning of the chaos
in Syria we have been saying that Iran more specifically the IRG (Iran
Revolutionary Guard) was in Syria helping if not leading the way in trying to
quell the uprising along with Hezbollah.
You know Bashar's only friends
Iran, Russia, and Hezbollah are dictating that this slaughter is a necessity
though Syria knows how to brutalize its people all to well. Iran will not allow
a Democracy at her doorstep further isolating her.
'Iran building militias in Syria
in case Assad falls': The Post quoted a
senior Obama administration official as saying that Iran was backing as many as
50,000 militiamen. “The immediate intention seems to be to support the Syrian
regime. But it’s important for Iran to have a force in Syria that is reliable
and can be counted on,” the official stated.
Now that we know how involved
Russia, Iran and Hezbollah are in the slaughtering that is going on around the
country that is beginning to look like the beginning of their fight not nearing
the end.You have to be very concerned about what is happening in Syria
especially.
Russia, China, and Iran are not
going to allow Syria to fall to Democracy. What we saw after the voter fraud in
Iran was mild compared to what the IRG will do if this movement spreads to Iran.
I really wish Bashar would step down but Iran is the elephant in the room any
way you look at it. The total middle east breakdown we have written about
numerous times is well under way. We can only hope we keep it from erupting into
WW3.
By attacking and defeating Iraq we freed Iran up to pursue her version of new middle East order by interfering wherever she could while Bush was doing the same thing with his Middle East Democratization program. I think you can see how successful Bush and Cheney were with chaos creating Middle East Democracy program but you are barely seeing the results they created in Iran.
The goal absolutely is to be the country who decides which direction the new Middle East (dis)order will take. Bush started it by attacking Iraq to get into the middle east to destabilize it and start the new middle east order the idiot said God told him to do now it will be up to Iran and Saudi Arabia at least up front fight it out whether this goes the Iranian Shiite way or the Saudi Arabian Sunni way and do not forget Israel!
