Iran Threatens To Mobilize 130,000 Troops In Syria
INN ^ | May 13, 2014

A senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander reportedly made a revealing remark last week, saying Syrian President Bashar Assad is "fighting this war (in Syria) as our deputy."

Hamedani's statements were reported by the Iranian state-controlled Fars News last Sunday, but were quickly removed from the website. Naame Shaam, an independent news site opposing Assad's regime, revealed the deleted report last Thursday.

If they are actual troops, let’s hope they are fed into a human meatgrinder that few of them and just as few of their AQ/MB enemies survive. Islamism can only really be ended when as many of them as possible kill as many of each other as possible.

I hope they are volunteers. Otherwise, it would be an invasion. /S

This doesn’t count the proxy Iranian thugs pulled out of Lebanon to prop up the dictatorship in Syria, or the 19,000 Iranian troops already there. Thanks Fennie.
