1. correction
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (08.27.12)
The article states that Sunni forces have no answer to Assad's helicopters. This is incorrect. Some Sunni forces have antiaircraft missiles, probably from Libyan depots. Since it is unlikely that Obama would let real Al-Qaeda get these weapons, the helicopter was probably shot down by French Foreign Legion with missiles smuggled from Turkey with Erdogan's collaboration.
2. are you serious?
yosef ,   williamsburg US   (08.27.12)
..."it is unlikely that Obama would let real Al-Qaeda get these weapons," So how is he controlling the 400Bil in military sales to many ME & Gulf states that occurred prior to the "arab spring" uprisings?
3. Was this helicopter also Russian made...??

4. #2 I am sorry
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (08.27.12)
I would be happy to try to reply if I understood your question. If you are asking how does Obama (or any US president) control weapons in the Gulf State and Egyptian arsenals? The answer is that he doesn't.
5. I think soon these terrorists will use a SAM on us
or a passanger plane ,   full of innocents   (08.27.12)
and these weapons came from obama make no mistake about it israeli israeli He is the one who supported these "revolutions" The gulf states and saudis get their weaponry from the usa in most cases, and also from the.... french who are knee deep in the stench of this so called rebellion. The rebels are armed terrorists funded and armed by the west bent on genocide and regime change in a religious civil war perpetrated by the same elements who overthrew tunisia, mail, libya, egypt, yemen It wont be long now, can you feel the winds of war coming closer?.... are you ready?
