Fox News has learned Quds head Qassem Soleimani and Putin discussed such a joint military plan for Syria at that meeting, an encounter first reported by Fox News in early August.
"The Russians are no longer advising, but co-leading the war in Syria," one intelligence official said.
The Quds Force is the international arm of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, involved in exporting terrorism to Iran's proxies throughout the Middle East including Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen.
Intelligence sources told Fox News that -- in addition to the previously reported arrival of nearly 50 Russian marines, 100 housing units and armored vehicles delivered by a stream of massive Antonov-124 Condor military transport aircraft and two Russian landing ships in Syria -- the Russians have delivered aviation, intelligence and communications facilities to deploy a powerful offensive force.
Officials who have monitored the build-up say they've seen more than 1,000 Russian combatants -- some of them from the same plainclothes Special Forces units who were sent to Crimea and Ukraine. Some of these Russian troops are logistical specialists and needed for security at the expanding Russian bases.

Russia is just there for a government transition, Putin already said that with “healthy opposition” who by the way, The Russians met with in Moscow, Assad is ready to share power.

Sheesh, the QUDS killed our men in Iraq and people talk up macho man Putin for talking to them?

A religious war, the two “faiths” Sunni and Shia hate each other. Good article.

The Syrian “refugees” are mostly coming from Turkey. Not the war zone. And 73% of them are men. Only 13 % women. This is a classic case of ecomomic migration. Men go first and bring families later.
Projection?
Plenty of such videos already on the internet from Chechnya.

Like playing chess with a pigeon. Obama pulls his chess pieces off the board. Replaces them with terrorist figurines. The figurines proceed to terrorize everyone in the region. Leaving a wide opening for the Putin knight. Biggest debacle in US history. Drill baby drill and start lining up the traitors against the wall.
