Well, this is what happens to people who intervene in the domestic affairs of other countries. The Iranians love to interfere in the internal affairs of their neighbors. It's good to see the Iranians going home in body bags. Hopefully more Iranians will meet the same end. Check it out: "General Hassan Shateri was killed on Tuesday in an ambush on the way from Damascus towards the Lebanese capital, the Iranian authorities said. They blamed the attack on Israel. Gen Shateri was also in charge of the Iranian of the Iranian Committee for the Reconstruction of Lebanon, set up after the devastating war in 2006 between Israel and the Iran supported Shiite Hezbollah militia. He died "at the hands of Zionist regime mercenaries and backers," the force's spokesman, Ramezan Sherif, said in the statement. The circumstances of his death and the purpose of his visit in Syria were still murky yesterday. The Lebanese newspaper As-Safir claimed Mr Shater had been "in Aleppo, to study projects to reconstruct the city"; a claim that was rejected as "laughable" by opposition figures in the city that is currently in the grip of full-scale war...."

Iran has no business sending soldiers to Syria. Syrian rebels have every right in the world to kill any Iranian soldier they find on their soil.
This means the Iranians are in Syria full force, and the war is spreading...just as predicted. I don't know what's going on now, but two months ago there were seventeen American warships, and they left when the Russia warships arrived so as not to cause tension. So what we have now are Sunni groups that are with Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey. Iranians that are with Assad. Israel that fears Hezbollah. Kurds, Alevis and Christians that fear Turkey. Terrorist Sunni groups that endanger everyone.
Obama's new secty of state wants to get involved with arming the anti-Assad forces. He'll end up arming al qaeda like obama did in Libya. Obama should put his head between his legs and kiss his ass good bye. - - - Updated - - - NATO doesn't belong interfering in Syria or anywhere else. In fact, NATO shouldn't exist.
You know, the more I think about it, the more I believe the Usual Suspects here on World Events are on to something. Since every attack in the Mid-East is really a False-Flag, maybe we ought to go with this. I envision a future in which wars are fought by attacking your own country. The US attacking the US, Iran attacking Iran, Sweden attacking Sweden, UK attacking the UK, and so forth. Ultimately, once every country is destroyed, we can start over with Antarctica leading the way. The World Events Forum. The Cutting Edge of Insanity leading the way to a New World Order.
The only reason a nation would want to blame another nation, is to start a war and to be honest, I don't think Iran wants a war with Israel. Of course the possiblity exists that some group killed him so as to put the blame on Israel and start a war between them, but I don't think that's likely. If it was though, then the logical choice would be Turkey since it is an enemy to both Iran and Israel. More than likely the Israelis knew he was there and up to no good, so they killed him. Maybe it was a warning by Israel since the General was going to the Hezbollah stronghold in Lebanon.
You're right. But that doesn't change the fact that rivers of Persian blood should flow into the Syrian earth as it once did in the time of Heraclius. It will teach the Iranians a very painful lesson.
No it's not terrorism it's an assassination of an Iranian officer who was probably going to meet up with Hezbollah. Terrorism is when civilians are being killed solely to terrorize the people.
Assad is still the President, and if he wants help from Iran, then the Iranians have every right to be there. The ones who have no right are the rebels coming in from Turkey with arms. These rebels and their supporters are the ones that made a mess out of that country not Assad.
Assad is a member of an Alawite Dynasty nothing more. No Syrian has the right to invite foreign powers into the country to kill fellow Syrians. Why are you steamed?
Iranians have killed hundreds of Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan. Turnabout is fair play. Those who show no mercy cannot ask for quarter.
Assad invited foreign powers, because he is fighting the foreign powers that have entered and destroyed Syria. There are military officers from Turkey and fighters from Chechnya, Dagestan, Saudi Arabia, and Libya. The Alawite dynasty was a very just and tolerant one, and they as well as the Christians and Kurds are fighting for their lives. No one wants to be massacred, and that is what the Sunnis terrorists will do if they take over. They are not known for their tolerance...except maybe towards their own. As for being steamed, I like to be. Would you rather I rant and rage?
Killed in Syria, eh? More likely a Sunni rebel wacked that PoS... - - - Updated - - - It's nice to find that some people still read History books. Cheers, Albert.
The Alawites in Syria were like the Sunnis in Iraq. I know there will be massacres. The Alawites will probably killed to the last man, woman, and child. It will teach the locals not to cooperate with Iranians. None of this is America's business. I prefer the iron fist in the velvet glove approach.
