| [Ynet] Israel's envoy to the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... said on Thursday that Iran had recruited at least 80,000 Shiite fighters which it was training at a base just over five miles from Damascus. Holding up a map, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon told the Security Council that Iran had set up a training base just over five miles from Damascus. "What you can see here is Iran's central induction and recruitment centre in Syria. There are over 80,000 Shia turbans in Syria under Iranian control. It is at this base, just over five miles from Damascus, where they are trained to commit acts of terror in Syria and across the region," Danon said.

| #4 Ample logistical food supply available from the "fields of grain" and refining/milling capacity of metropolitan Damascus, Bekaa Valley, and Golan Heights. Should last a least... a couple hours At least a full stomach won't make them sleepy, Infidel! |

| #1 80,000 guys take up a lot of room. At, say, three pounds of food per day, that's 240,000 pounds of food, or 120 tons. Every day. You can't forage among the locals at that rate for long, even if you have the buttheads spread out in locations with, say, 1000 guys. Logistics are going to be difficult or, if not, Obama's millions bought a lot of trucks. |
