*Syrian troops recapture border crossing at Golan Heights after fierce fighting: Syrian troops backed up by tanks and armoured vehicles yesterday recaptured the Quneitra crossing-point on the ceasefire line between Syria and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, driving off rebel gunmen who had overrun the site. Two UN observers were wounded by shrapnel landing close to their base in the buffer zone.
*In a landscape of crumbling buildings, empty tank shells and shards of glass and rubble, looting was widespread Thursday. Locals and people who appeared to be pro-Assad soldiers and paramilitants hauled away furniture, electronics and cars toward the city of Homs, to the north, and in the direction of Lebanon, some 10 miles to the south.
What little order prevailed here appeared to be maintained by young fighters from Hezbollah—the Iran-backed Lebanese group that entered Syria to fight alongside government forces in the monthlong ground siege and bombardment that ultimately drove rebels from this strategic town Wednesday. A four-hour walk in Qusayr revealed the freshest marks of a war that is inflaming Sunnis and Shiites across the region.
* Thousands of Hezbollah's fighters from Lebanon have streamed into Syria to help Assad take a stronghold for the rebels in Qusair this week and the seizure may turn the two-year conflict in his favor. While the West debates whether to intervene on the side of the rebels, and pushes for peace talks this month in Geneva, Hezbollah and its patron Iran have gone all in to keep Syria in the hands of an anti-American dictator.
Iran is a Shiite Muslim theocracy and the Assad regime is headed by Alawites, who are a Shiite offshoot. But it is not the centuries-old divide in the Muslim world that prompted Iran to unleash the Shiites of Hezbollah, a force also known as the Party of God that Iran has trained and armed for years, according to the U.S. State Department. "The Assad regime has always supported the Party of God — Iran's proxy in Lebanon
"Every Muslim
trained to fight and capable of doing that (must) make himself available" to
support the Syrian rebels.
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 sids 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 friend's
Iran 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!
