This rumor was posted before. The Commander of the Quds force is in Syria helping the regime. This is known. He MAY have brought some cadre from the Quds force with him. The size of the ENTIRE Quds force is 15,000, and it's unlikely he brought the whole force with him, as they are needed to maintain the regime in Iran.

That said, the Syria unrest is between the ruling Shiites (supported by Iran) and the majority-Sunni populace (stirred up by the Muslim Brotherhood and al-Queda). If the US had any sense, we would stay out of this.

Au contraire! Sell weapons to both sides! Win-win!

“If the US had any sense, we would stay out of this.”

What - and miss out helping to bring peaceful freedom to this part of the world like Egypt now enjoys? Plus, we might just confirm that Saddam’s WMDs made it to Syria.

Are you series? This puts those Iranians right next door to Isreal and Obama will probably lead from behind with you and Ron Paul cheering. This could be a signal they've got their "bomb" and are daring anyone in the world to challenge this intrusion into another countries civil war.

This is an easy one to stay out of if you don't have an agenda to further screw up our miliary,

We have the Assad Alawites fighting the Sunni Muslims in Syria.
On the Alawite (Assad) side is Iran, Russia,and China.'
On the Sunni side is Al Qaeda, Saudi Arabia and our State Dept.
The Christians in Syria are a minority like the Assad Alawites, and support Assad.
If Assad falls, the Christians and Alawites will be severely punished by the majority Sunnis just like the Copts(Christians) in Egypt.
If Assad survives, Iran's hand and Hizbolla are strengthened in that area. -Tom
