Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey has angrily condemned Russia for following through on agreed-to arms sales to Syria, insisting the decision to deliver anti-ship missiles to the war-torn nation risked prolonging the civil war.
The US and Israel have been petitioning Russia to back out of its arms contracts with the Assad government, though Russia has refused to do so, and today defended continuing its deliveries, saying the arms they are shipping are purely defensive in nature.
Indeed, it isn’t clear how today’s deliveries of anti-ship missiles would in any way impact rebels, and as with Syria’s acquisition of anti-aircraft missiles seems to be primarily aimed at discouraging foreign invasions.
Which is in no small part exactly why the US and Israel are objecting so loudly, as Israel has been attacking Syria outright in recent weeks, and the US has been talking up its own “military options,” and while none of Russia’s sales are likely to change that, they would make an offensive war against Syria much less convenient than it otherwise would be.
What hypocricy while US is arming Al Qaeda affiliated criminals from neighbouring countries.
not just arming:
USA did create them, train them, pay them and sent them to this long planned war on Syria (and other "soviet client states"):
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton admitted that the USA created Al Qaeda/Jihadis/Mujahedin
“The United States spent millions of dollars to supply Afghan schoolchildren with textbooks filled with violent images and militant Islamic teachings….The primers, which were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then as the Afghan school system’s core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the American-produced books,..”, (Washington Post, 23 March 2002)
“Advertisements, paid for from CIA funds, were placed in newspapers and newsletters around the world offering inducements and motivations to join the [Islamic] Jihad.” (Pervez Hoodbhoy, Peace Research, 1 May 2005)

the source of the top US defense office statement in 1991 regarding war or originally "clean out those soviet client states" was former US presidency candidate and NATO general Wesley Clark:

Why actually such information is permanently ignored at antiwar and why are submitted articles about it regularly censored here?
Only here in discussion it is possible – however, I guess its a low percentage who "click to discuss" if one wants just to inform himself.
Antiwar begins to become famous as organization to fool the antiwar movement:

US should slam itself over its supply of weapons to all tyrants in the region knowing that neither of these countries have any respect for democracy, that these regime produce terrorists that are used to terrorize the Syrian people.., out of desperation US government will say and do everything knowing that Syrian war is lost, knowing that USA pride in wars is lost, knowing that president pride in having a war won is in jeopardy, knowing that Syria has become the grave yard of sunny Muslims terrorism, Wahhabis terrorism, salafis terrorism and all other illegitimate sons of Saudis and other tyrant regime.
There is one way out for USA, get on board and start the process in talking with the legitimate peoples government of syria without having any demands, stop supporting the barbarians sent from Saudi Arabia and other tyranni to fight the Syrian people.
These darned Russians – making war so inconvenient!
If Dempsey is upset, the Russians must be doing something right. I just with the Russians were a lot more proactive about arming Syria against foreign invasion.
HYPOCRITE WARMONGERS–
0800–Please explain clearly what the heck you are talking about–thank you..
Only the Americans can arm Israel, The mercenries and all of the trouble makers. Stop supplying the Zionisr war criminals before opening your hypocrite yapper.
THANK YOU MR. PUTIN
Now if only those sophisticated systems would take out a couple of Israeli jets then we'd begin to hear the screeching from Tel-Aviv clear around the world. To me this is simply all good news.
Syria is most defensive, while no-nukes Iran is most moral and such a double whammy leaves Obama with no options on he table.
