Telegraph: Reports the following on Russian- Syrian policy, " ..Russia was ready to send troops to Syria, as part of an international presence to insure the safety of UN chemical weapons inspectors. ".
Lets Get Real:
Folks, the only fighting the Russians will be doing is fighting the rebels, and in that process the the Assad Regime will playing games with the UN and the West, the West has to make it clear to Putin, any more Russian troops in Syria and the WMD deal is off, that has to be a deal breaker, once the Russians are in force under UN cover they will never leave, the rebels will be crushed by the forces of Russia and Iran. The US and its allies can not give up on a UN Chapter 7 resolution, it makes sure that should Assad break his word the West can take action, the Russians are opposed because the WMD deal is a head fake of the first order. It is only a matter of time before Assad breaks his word and the Oval looks even more foolish. The Russians are playing clever chess while the West is looking on asking what the rules of the game are, the rule folks is who wins and who losses, in this game there can be no draw.
