Russia to stay out of Syrian port

Hmmm...so i thought according to all those on here that the Russians were coming to Syria?

MOSCOW, July 26 (UPI) -- While Russia has no intention to abandon its naval base in Syria, it also has no plans to dock there during drills in the Mediterranean, a commander said.

Russian Vice Adm. Viktor Chirkov said military drills are under way in the Mediterranean Sea featuring a flotilla of 10 warships and escort vessels.

Chirkov said Thursday there were no plans from Moscow to abandon its naval base in the Syrian port of Tartus, Russia's only naval base outside the former Soviet Union.

"The joint fleet flotilla will not enter the port of Tartus," he was quoted by Russia's state-run news service RIA Novosti as saying. "It is carrying out military drills in the Mediterranean."

Ahh yep..............
just like the british fleet thats gonna do execises off Cyprus, in august/ sept sometime....It will loiter out in international waters waiting for a SHTF scenario where they have to evacuate their people from one of these troubled countries, and that kinda indicates the windows opening for the mid east conflict i think....after the Olympics..............
But perhaps before the election so King Obamica keeps his seat on the throne.

Murderous syrian regime.Lol.Assad is protecting his people from terrorists and its not the way western media claims it is. Its al qaeda FSA who is killing .Also explain why less civilians and insurgents have died compared to Syrian army.

Some 55% of Syrian respondents do not believe President Assad should resign, whereas it was found that it was the vast majority of respondents across the region, 81%, who want him to do so. Of the total respondents, 46% wanted President Assad to remain in power to prevent Syria becoming another Iraq, and half of the total (50%) think that the protests [in Syria] are part of a conspiracy by the US and the West. Almost a third, 32%, of respondents from the Levant region believe that President Assad is the best president for Syria (the figure for Syria alone is not given). Two thirds, 64%, of total respondents believe that the protests represent the view of the majority of Syrians, whereas in Syria, 52% of respondents believe that the news about the protests are exaggerated. According to Phillip Giraldi, writing for The American Conservative, Nato is “already clandestinely engaged in the Syrian conflict with Turkey taking the lead as US proxy” and “unmarked NATO warplanes are arriving at Turkish military bases close to Iskenderum on the Syrian border, delivering weapons from the late Muammar Gaddafi’s arsenals as well as volunteers from the Libyan Transitional Council.” In addition, French and British special forces trainers are on the ground, “assisting the Syrian rebels, while the CIA and US Spec Ops are providing communications equipment and intelligence.” There appears little doubt that atrocities are being committed against unarmed protesters in Syria but the extent is unknown with the numbers hugely exaggerated by vested interests. No one knows the exact figure; the UN says it is 5,000 unarmed civilians, but they have not been able to corroborate the number; they have not published how many armed protesters have been killed and how many unarmed civilians have been killed by the armed militants. The Syrian Government says 2,000 security personnel have been killed. “What we are seeing in Syria is a deliberate and calculated campaign to bring down the Assad Government so as to replace it with a regime ‘more compatible’ with US interests in the region” argues Aisling Byrne who is Projects Co-ordinator with Conflicts Forum in Beirut. “The majority of Western mainstream media outlets, along with the media of the US’s allies in the region, particularly [Qatar owned] al-Jazeera and the Saudi-owned al-Arabiya TV channels, are effectively collaborating with the “regime change” narrative and agenda with a near-complete lack of questioning or investigation of statistics and information put out by organizations and media outlets that are either funded or owned by the US/European/Gulf alliance - the very same countries instigating the regime change project in the first place,” writes Byrne in Asia Times. “The US and its allies, particularly Britain and France, have funded and helped “shape” the opposition from the outset - building both on attempts started by the US in 2006 to construct a unified front against the Assad government, and the perceived “success” of the Libyan Transitional National Council model,” she says. The Muslim News received information on the attacks by armed militants on ordinary people not involved in the uprising. However, they were of a different Islamic school of thought, Shi’a (not Allawi). According to Rashid (not his real name), the problems started about 8 months ago in Homs. “Yesterday [December 22] they kidnapped my brother’s son in Homs in Abasyia district; alhamdu lillah (with God’s help) the negotiation with the terrorists ended with his release. He’s currently in a state hospital recovering from his injuries.” Over a hundred Shi’as have been killed in Homs. “Limbs have been amputated – there have been horrific cases where people’s arms, fingers and ears have been amputated; we have never seen anything like it.” Wives of those who were killed “were raped – the women were stripped and made to wonder the streets naked.”

Over a hundred Shi’as have been killed in Homs. “Limbs have been amputated – there have been horrific cases where people’s arms, fingers and ears have been amputated; we have never seen anything like it.” Wives of those who were killed “were raped – the women were stripped and made to wonder the streets naked.” Khadija (not her real name) relates what happened to her brother. “On 22 Shaban [July 23] my brother left his house in Al-Bayeda early in the morning to buy bread in the supermarket. On his way there was some sort of ambush by a group of armed men - he was shot in the head - we didn’t know what happened to him until we got a telephone call from the morgue to collect his body. He leaves behind a wife and two little girls. We’re devastated.” His wife and children have been evacuated from Al-Bayeda as have 400 other families, “majority of whom have had their houses completely blazed; they’re refugees in their own country. Majority have fled to the capital with no possessions. The area is now void of its locals; the city is now occupied by terrorists.” Khadija says, “We’re not political, we’re normal Syrians who are at the mercy of terrorists. They’re not freedom fighters. Why would freedom fighters target defenceless people?” She pleads that, “The world needs to know our side of the story – they can’t dismiss our tragedies as propaganda. It’s an insult to the victims and their families.”

If 'protesters' (actually Al qaeda ) are like this then its apt to kill them .

sorry,I got it.You were talking about the FSA what it was saying.FSA has barking a lot.I would recommend that russians test a biovirus weapon on Riyadh and their wahabbi jihadi idiots.It will reduce that problem for Sure.

yeh, they are nothing more than saudi/qatari/turk/US/NATO/israeli backed terrorist rebels who kill, loot, and rape the people.

what do the bunch above have in common? ( saudi/qatari/turk/US/NATO/israeli)

they are zionists/zionist puppets

Or the above are actually Assad's thugs dressed like rebels?


Nobody should BELIEVE ANYTHING that comes out of Syria.Of, better yet, BELIEVE that BOTH the rebels AND syrian army are doing despicable acts of killing, maiming, torturing, etc.


It is easy to balme Israel.



Well, maybe it is iranians and russians doing it? They also have GOOD REASONS to keep Assad in power NO MATTER WHAT - including dressing like FSA and kill people around.
