I do not disagree with a thing you say. I was merely ruminating. Putting things "out there." There are so many "whatifs" re:Syria. Many, many factions. Many, many diverse interests. One never knows how these things will shake out.

I do not think Russia will give up its base at Tartus. Not easily. And yet they will not fight for another muslim country I don't think.

And yet, I've watched videos on al Gezeera showing what appear to be, G-3 (CETME) almost NIB being carried by FSA. Must be coming from Turkey? And we pretty much know Turkey is training and "re-grouping" former Assad military people.

All of Assad's equipment will do him little good if he doesn't have the man power to operate it. And he doesn't have Mali Mercs like Qadaffi did.

I just do not want to see any US/Allied troops fighting in another Third World lash-up.

“I just do not want to see any US/Allied troops fighting in another Third World lash-up.”

At least I know now that there is at least two of us who feel that way.
