2. The US Policy has affected the unrest -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.16.13)
- in the whole of the Mideast. It began when the US sacrificed the Egypt President, and since it has been rolling on. All this is the Effect of the Obama Precidency. Arn.Sweden.
3. All the more reason for us to stay out of this mess
Dror ,   Haifai, Israel   (06.16.13)
The more this escalates the more the west has to lose. The more they will get directly involved. Israel needs to remain vigilant. When there is confirmed intel that Assad and his Iranian backers intend to attack us then we should not hesitate to blow them to smithereens. This intel has to be genuine. If we discover that the rebels are playing us for fools by pretending to be Assad's military in other words false flagging us, WE WILL KNOW.
4. Mahdi times
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (06.16.13)
The Russians are playing their world game of chess with its inventors.. ....IRG are desperate to meet their Mahdi. They are insane to open up a front with Israel in the name of propping up Assad. These 4000 IRG will end up as fertiliser.
5. the shia terror entity must be destroyed
C   (06.16.13)
unfortunately, the us president is the most underdeveloped in modern us history. he claims that the elections in iran represent the will of the people. obama's policies will cause a world war. he has enabled all islamic terrorists. the most dangerous of these is the terror state of iran. given obama's policies, chances are that sunni states will switch sides and find other allies. they are already arming global jihadists in syria and in iraq. all the gains of the last decade will vanish. the us will be pushed out of the middle east.
6. please please send the troops ASAP
zionist forever   (06.16.13)
If Iran is sending actual soldiers it will open the worlds eyes to what them new " moderate " president really is and whilst its time to stop with the pointless diplomacy and bomb Irans nuclear sites If they send in troops wonderful because it means their elite Revolutionary Guard soldiers will be getting killed by the rebels and the soldiers will also be killing the rebels who don't like Israel. More of Israel's enemies kill each other and the longer they do it for the better. If Iran wants to open a front on the Golan it will be more of an inconvenience rather than a threat to Israeli security. Hezbollah have no underground arms dumps and tunnels to operate out of, its also unlikely their rockets can reach Israeli territory from the Golan demilitarised zone. The Golan is open country so Hezbollah fighters will be target practise for the IAF and tanks so it will be a massacre of the brave Hezbollah fighters. If Iran were to send in tanks or jets to the demilitarised zone it would also not be a problem because Iranian tanks are no match for merkavas. The IAF has better planes and pilots than Iran does also unlike Iran Israel can move anti aircraft system into the Golan to protect from any Iranian jets that might be sent. As long as Obama is willing to carry through willing to also let Israel be involved in destroying chemical weapons sites if Assad goes and won't do what he always does and loose his nerve and instead look for a diplomatic solution with the new regime for their dismantle rather than either Israel or the US actually dropping any bombs so the new regime knows Israel and the US are committed to peace with Syria.
7. After kissing the sunni hand of king Abdulla..
Beary White ,   Norway   (06.16.13)
.. then Barry Soetoro aka Barack Obama has been supporting the sunnis. Raised as a sugfi, before turning as a christian, the sunni direction should be obvious. Now he is loading the sunnis with weapons...
8. # 1, Really interesting
Harri ,   EU   (06.16.13)
I can't see animal pulling anything in that picture. I see 1 human soldier pulling those cows, but maybe it takes one to know one. The situation in Syria is troubling. Iran and Russia have decided to support Assad. Both have very realistic changes to succeed in their efforts. West has no means to win that war against Russia and Iran backed Assad. We can only prolong that war. New Iranian president could be a new game changer that could save some faces and connect possible peace solution into larger picture. Of course it is mostly theater, but a good theater is always better than a bloody war.
9. The reckless policies of Rabin, Peres and Barak.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (06.16.13)
I believe that it is in Israel's interest to oppose the Syrian, alawiite, hezbollah, Iranian, Russian axiis. Nothing could be worse than the hegemony of these true enemies of Israel. The israeli left and its allies, the media, the out of touch with reality, elites of Israeli society, are promoting a withdrawal from the land of Israel, Judea and Samaria, resulting in the hamas, Iranian, shia, Russian axis in control of the land of israel heartland, at the gates of Jerusalem and Gush Dan. Therefore we have to conclude that the Israeli left is promoting a policy in Judea and Samaria that would result in terror, death and destruction. Mr. Rabin, Peres and Barak wanted to return the Golan to Syrian, Hezbollah, Iranian, Russian control. What were they thinking?
10. #3 and #4
Dani   (06.16.13)
#3 you are involved.. what do you call bombing of damascus by israsel... #4 4000 will prove to be too much. maybe 1500 are enough.
11. # 2 - Arn.Sweden - It began...
Son Of Cyrus ,   UK   (06.16.13)
It began when the useless President Carter (The Peanut Farmer), betrayed the Shah of Iran. They made a deal with the ex- Soviet Union and decided to do away with Communism and instead bring religion in its place. We also saw how a pope from Poland was elected and head of the Polish Trade Unions started a revolution in Eastern Europe. It is part of the plan for the NEW WORLD ORDER, which is based on Religion (To get people to fight), Strong Military and Intel and Free Market. This is how their vision of Globalism is and they are all in it.
12. Thank you, liberal American Jews
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (06.16.13)
Thank the moronic, self-hating Liberal American Jews who chanted Yes We Can and supported the election and RE-election of the backstabbing Sotero regime.
13. War
marian ,   Romania   (06.16.13)
The grand mufti Barack Hussein Obama will give you a sunni empire, just choose a good caliph, maybe The Good King Abdallah (he is predestined by his name). You only have to do the almost imposible task of creating a buffer druze state with just a hand of Druzes and Christians in Daraa and Swaida. And the cold war between Shia and Sunni will work, like the previous we had in Europe. That's what the Sunnis want, all the others are forced into it.
14. Funny, I thought Obama was Shiite

There are reportedly 93000 dead in Syria. Average 3000 people died per day over 2 years. I will kindly wish you a continued pleasant massacre. The day we truly get invovled in this civil war,(not happening) will be a day you truly regret. Those chemical weapons bunkers are in our sites. There will be no hesitation in blowing them sky high when necessary. We will see if the impotent Assad has anything to say about it. He will most likely be dead by then.

solomon ,   bklyn   (06.16.13)
What “bombing of Damascus”? What you may be referring to is the bombing of weapons that would have been delivered by an enemy of Israel with which Israel is at war, to an enemy of Israel, with which Israel is at war. Simple, really.
17. #12 astronaut
solomon ,   bklyn   (06.16.13)
Ah yes, the proverbial “blame the liberal American Jews” syndrome. Is that to be the answer to “blame the Jews” spouted by much of the rest of the world? Wonderful solution (yea, right).

zionist forever   (06.16.13)
When did Israel bomb Damascus? The most Israel has done is twice destroyed arms convoys on their way to Lebanon not once has a single Israeli bomb been dropped on Damascus or anywhere else in Syria so get your facts right. If attacked Israel will bomb Damascus and just about every other town city and village if needed but as long as Israel is left out of it then it will stay out. Long may this war continue nice to watch all our enemies killing each other,.
19. Dani no 10
Jews fight like Lion ,   JEWS FIGHT LIKE LION   (06.16.13)
I can tell your name is not Dani but something like MOhammed Al MAlhoon or Zoubi. Please ask your mullahs to send every month 10,000 or 20,000 Iranian troops. Iraq killed 1 million plus, and Israel will kill the balance. Welcome to your death !!!!!!!!

He could be a Sunni but it's rather obvious he is full of Shiite.
21. To the very end.....of Syria?
Get Real ,   UK   (06.16.13)
This just shows how weak the Syrian army really is. A military of hundreds of thousands requires outside help to face down ill-equipped rebel forces. And Assad and his Ministers threatened to respond to Israeli attacks on weapons transfers. Iranian proposals to open a Syrian front on the Golan Heights will not preserve Assad's regime but will hasten its demise when Israel responds to any hostile action. Iran and Hezbollah bringing yet more pain to Syria.
