#3 Where is Syria going to get the money to pay for this mil stuff? After we turned off the Iraq-Syria oil spigot, things got tight. The only place I can see Assad getting money for toys is credits from Russia (suckers)or from the MMs of Iran.

#4 Maybe W worked out a deal with putin to give him cash for this support and not selling missiles to Syria.

#6 Syria makes money off the drug trade. They are a mid-east form of Noreiga's Panama. Note that under them the Bekka valley has dropped done to only a couple of sections of dope but Syrian distribution networks still hum. Being grown somewhere...
