Thread: IRAN to send 4000 Troops to Syria

The Independent on Sunday has learned that a military decision has been taken in Iran – even before last week’s presidential election – to send a first contingent of 4,000 Iranian Revolutionary Guards to Syria to support President Bashar al-Assad’s forces against the largely Sunni rebellion that has cost almost 100,000 lives in just over two years.

World exclusive: Iran will send 4,000 troops to aid Bashar al-Assad

Hurrah- a peace keeping force to protect Christians, Allawai and secular Sunni. I hope they kill plenty of them US sponsored AQ scum.

Well, "our" side has more!

4,500 U.S. troops near Syrian border.

I wish that scum to die.

GI Joe or the jihadists?

I think there are plenty of people that want Assad's head on a stick, but it's not him that's pulling the strings.

Interesting article.

Will the flood-gates open for taking sides and sending in ground troops now?

Interesting that the US is arming the Sunni rebels and those arms will easily find their way into another Sunni rebel group who are an AlQaida mob.

Is Obama any different to Bush?.... There hasnt been any proper proof that the Syrian government used chemical weapons which is the main reason the US has acted.... WMD lies all over again?

Anyway if it ends up as a wider conflict between Sunnis and Shiites at least the US is taking a gamble with the bigger side.... 85% of the worlds muslims are Sunni.

Yes, Fisk is always "interesting" if not always "enlightening".

He wants to suggest that furriners should stay out of this conflict as it is shaping up to be a thousand year old spat between Sunnis and Shiites. When people talked about the Yugoslavian situation as some sort of irremediable ancient religious conflict, people like Fisk were quick to point out how that was just an obfuscation.

I do respect Fisk, but keep the salt handy when reading him.

You do know what is meant by 'fisking' an article, don't you?

Go Iran, go

a strong message needs to be send by the non-aligned that the world is not America's bitch

maybe, maybe not, but an article in The Independent,
a sensationalist politically correct newspaper , uncollaborated anywhere else , don't make the 4000 troops movement real .

I don't usually agree with Sarah Palin but this time she may be right. Just let Allah sort them out.

"Our" side are terrified of connecting with the trash of humanity, but also terrified of losing face, so settle in for lots of fanciful posturing with hollow sound bites.

Some fools would rather be Allah's biatch.

The choice isn't restricted to Allah or America. Neither of them is best.

Dunno why you've got such a hard-on for Iran, not that I'm any fan of the ayatollahs, but there are far worse countries on the world stage. I reckon, in the fullness of time, the Iranians will shake off their theocracy.

Yes you are correct. Iran will be the flower of the islamic world as it was before and will always be.

I wonder what those 4,000 Iranian conscripts are thinking about becoming the newest targets on the planes of Syria? Just saying, any soldier going to some location to fight and possibly die for a country that really has "0" significance to you personally.

It must be pretty "real," for him at that moment of realization.

While sitting in the bunker, hunkered down, tracers flying by like fireflies, night sky lit up with flares and explosions, metal on metal sounds coming from mortar tubes on both sides, not knowing or caring who the intended target is.

Yes, I can almost feel the rush! Its my time in the saddle and there's lots of horses to saddle up.

Anybody ever see a movie named, Johnny Got His Gun? 4,000 will go, but only the lucky will return.

Watched a thing on History/Discovery - one of those channels last night about the 300 Spartans against those evil I-Rainians.

If Obama wants to channel King Leonidas of Greece he is in for a big surprise!

This Syria conflict highly resembles an old Cold War proxy, does it not?

Remember your statment when the US begins to invade.
