If this goes on and on as I feel it will since the Alawatite/Christian/Druze dominated army cannot give simply give up and join the Sunni's, we have makings of a possible regional war in the next 6 months. Iran wont sit by and let Assad Fall. I suspect, nor will russia. They have doubled down.

Claim: U.S. forces on Syrian border
Assad considering putting military on highest alert

Russian intelligence has information that U.S. troops are in Turkey near the country’s border with Syria, a senior Syrian official told WND today.

The official said the Russians observed American forces taking part in Turkish military measures to secure the Syria-Turkey borders.

The official said the information about a U.S. military presence in Turkey has led to a debate within the Syrian leadership about whether to move the Syrian military to its highest alert level.

Currently, the Syrian army is on its second highest alert.

Wouldn't surprise me. The only question is... how many of those troops are there and have they just arrived or??

all of the syrians i know here want him (assad) out. the fear is that this turns into an offical civil war which then involves Lebanon and iraq and iran. Russia/China vs US/West turn syria into a proxy battlefield ala Afghanistan 1980s.
Syria turns 180 degrees and goes the path of complete ****hole. Al Qaida are going to get some more combat experience on their world tour. Radical Islamist take root.

The Syrian National Council, which has been recognized internationally as a legitimate representative of the Syrian opposition, has been the main and most visible opposition group, but others have emerged.

One prominent opposition figure, Haitham al-Maleh, formed a new group after he resigned from the SNC, which he said was ineffective.

"After months of negotiations, my brothers tasked me with forming the Council for the Syrian Revolution," al-Maleh said. He said the group consists of about 45 Syrian expatriates. Its first goal, he said, is to create a transitional government after consulting with all facets of the Syrian opposition -- including the SNC, the rebel Free Syrian Army and activists in Syria.

One senior member of the SNC dismissed the move.

"Haitham al-Maleh works alone and is not representative of the Syrian people inside or outside of Syria," SNC member Basil Kuwaifi said.

"We are against formation of such (a) government because we all know it must have international support, and the person who will head it must be chosen by the Syrians themselves, not several dozen opposition figures from the Committee of Trustees of the Revolution who decided to appoint him to form this government out of Cairo."

Obama authorizes secret US support for Syrian rebels

President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing US support for rebels seeking to depose Syrian President Bashar Assad and his government, US sources familiar with the matter said.

Obama's order, approved earlier this year and known as an intelligence "finding," broadly permits the CIA and other US agencies to provide support that could help the rebels oust Assad.

This was also reported on NBC...

Now that Assad (and the Russians) have confirmation, what will they do?

Hot on the heels of the this disclosure, an amateur video has found it's way to broadcast by many media outlets in Eastern Europe, Russia and the Middle East:

It depicts a gruesome mass execution of Assad supporters by the (now) officially United States backed Free Syrian Army.

WARNING: GRAPHIC VIDEO!

http://www.rt.com/news/syria-rebel-massa....

Basically, 40 full seconds of intense gunfire literally turn the POW's into a pile of ground meat, all the while the gunmen are shouting 'Allah Akbar' repeatedly over the corpses. A scene assured to fully demolishing any attempt by Western powers to cast the FSA as some kind of moderated freedom loving characters. That I believe, a characterization painted for outside consumption in their efforts to speed up the removal of Assad. (ahead of getting the War against Iran on the road next?)

This video is sure to ratchet up the regional equation, heightening the intensity of the conflict, further fueling elements of the unintended consequence. Especially as pertaining to the concerns over the conflict by both Russia and China.

Germany participates in war preparations against Syria

Behind the scenes, the German government has long been active in the civil war in Syria and in preparations for military intervention.

Berlin is an important hub for the Western-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) and the Syrian National Council (SNC), who discreetly work there on plans to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

The 70 states comprising the “Friends of the Syrian People” group, who have supported the armed uprising against Assad, maintain a secretariat in Berlin and met there last month.

Defense Ministry experts predict 300 Israeli fatalities in war with Iran, Syria

Ministry prediction in line with Defense Minister Ehud Barak’s previous statement.

Defense Ministry experts estimate that in a war with Iran and Hezbollah, some 200 Israeli civilians will die. If Syria joins the war as well, the number of fatalities could rise to 300.

Yeah right.

Siebel Edmonds pointed out last year that this was a US proxy war. It's not like it was a secret. Except maybe to the general public.
