Polina Devitt = another Rooters shill
Quoting the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights in London is useless

She should use them to do some real research

The Russians have always stated ther intention to sustain Assad’s government and Lavrov’s comment anyone against Assad that looks or acts like a terrorist will be treated like a terrorist

I am surprised the Iraqis have not invited the US to leave

They have stated the US has been using Habbaniyah for regular re supply missions

Did not say to who

I wonder if the Russians may have quietly played this game:

Step 1) Tell the Obama Administration that they have only dumb bombs to drop, so that some collateral damage may be unavoidable.
Step 2) Wait the the Obama Administration to announce to the world how unsophisticated the Russian military is these days.
Step 3) Announce Russian success with sophisticated laser guided munitions.
Step 4) Enjoy embarrassment of the Obama Administration which seems to lack military intelligence.
