ASSAD, " THIS IS A JOKE"?? SO NOW WE KNOW IT'S TRUE!!!

So Assad gives a speech today and comments that Iranian support inside Syria is a "joke"?

I would be willing to bet the Saudi's and the rest of the region are not laughing at this "joke".

Two days ago I mentioned I had a fear about events in Syria, other than the common fear of a regional war; a regional war Assad will not get a chance to vote for.

Here is the "fear" I was making reference to.

If we consider Assad's Generals may be close to deciding in favor of the future of  the Syrian people over the future of Assad, then Assad and his Brother will know this danger is amongst them.

Imagine a Syrian military that has a majority of it's leadership and foot solders no longer willing to take orders?

Remember last week when I talked the danger of defections at the unit level, such as the Air Defense Brigade that joined the Rebels?

Now, imagine Iranian military leaders, who are already in Syria and have been for months, knowing the Syrian Military Leaders may be plotting to make a move on Assad.

Is the day near where Assad has to rely on Iranian leadership  to fight his battles because he can no longer trust his own Generals?

How does Iran justify to the UN the out in the open issue of Iranian Military Commanders actually leading engagements against the Syrian people?

If Iran is committed to keeping Syria in it's "Camp", then they will have to figure out a way to sell this event.

The only way Iran stands a chance of doing so, is painting a picture of coming to the aid of the "Syrian people" not Assad and doing so because an "outsider' has entered the conflict.

Yep... If Iran needs this chain of events to happen in order to react to a Syrian military that is too weak to win and no longer run by leaders who can be trusted, then all that I have said is going to have to happen.

If this is going to take place, it's going to have to happen soon!!!!

The neighbors of Syria are nervous and well as their militaries.

Iran is closer to needing an "Event" than anytime in the past year.

How does Iran justify setting foot on Syrian land?

They must be coming to the rescue!!!!

What they are missing is a "Invader"

What they are missing is Assad saying Syria is at war with "outside forces"...

OH ya... He just said that this week.

Let's see what may be about to happen?
