#4  Getting the Hezzies + Quds Force, etal. to come is easy - its getting them to leave that will be the prob for Baby Assad.

Moreso iff the Bammer decides to go all Reagan-esque IRAN-CONTRA vee the Syrian Rebels.

US = ANTI-US RUSSIA = NO ONE WANTS IRAN + AL-QAEDA, ETC. FOREIGN MILTERR GROUPS TO BE IN SYRIA, LET ALONE DOMINATE THE ASSAD ORPOST-ASSAD GOVT. AS PER HEZBOLLAH + LEBANON.

* IIRC FREEREPUBLIC > ARMING THE SYRIAN REBELS IS ARMING AL-QAIDA.

* IIRC SAME > SEVEN OUT OF NINE SYRIAN REBEL GROUPS ARE ISLAMIST.
