A source inside of Russia claims Syrian militants are firing American-made surface-to-air missiles at Bashar al-Assad's warplanes. Russia has supplied many of those warplanes, so they see the situation as American weapons shooting down Russian planes. Russian Gen. Nikolai Makarov said: "We have reliable information that Syrian militants have foreign portable anti-aircraft missile systems, including those made in the USA... it should be cleared up who delivered them." Prior to Makarov's comments, there had been "unconfirmed reports" of Syrian rebels using shoulder-mounted missiles. This came to light when Syrian rebels claimed to have shot down a fighter jet near the Iraq border in August. Some have suspected the missiles could be U.S. Stingers. However, there is extant footage of Syrian opposition fighters using old Soviet SA-7 heat-seeking missiles to shoot at aircraft as well. Thus the bottom line is that confusion reigns, and Russia appears to be using the confusion to try to ascertain exactly where the U.S. stands.

This isn’t news. I recall seeing something that the administration said about helping the rebels with “small arms”.
I must have missed that portion. Although I do remember him calling Zero out for not supporting the groups that wanted to take Iran back from the religious nutts.
——— Whats the point??-——
Destroy Assad and thereby eliminate Syria as an Iranian surrogate. That will destroy Hezbollah and Syrian supported Hamas.
There are far more important international considerations than the conjured up Islamic world domination conspiracies. The clear path from the Gulf across Iraq and Syria will result in economic boom to the region
The end of Syria as an Iranian surrogate is the lifting of a large burden from the shoulders of Israel. The end of the Assad regime leaves the Iranians alone and thereby helps the Gulf states breathe easier.
The future is a mideast in which there is economic cooperation between the Gulf States and Turkey that will bring both peace and prosperity.

My fresh information is how to explain the surprising scale of the errors at Benghazi. It is useful to stipulate that the building where Ambassador Stevens was attacked was not a consulate.
It was a State Department residence that was maintained to provide an explanation for the presence of the CIA station that was about a mile distance --
interesting idea, do you recall where you saw that?
A source inside of Russia claims...Oh, from there, well, why didn't someone say so before? ;')
