#1 The United States said Tuesday it had warned Russia that delivering the S-300 anti-aircraft system to Iran would have serious consequences for relations with Washington.

Eek! If that don't scare them, nothing will!

But Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow needed "no advice from across the ocean" about the sale of the S-300.

Uh oh.

Bambi needs to take a clue from this. They wouldn't have dissed W or Reagan this way.

#3 Syria, Iran, and Turkey Openly Defy Obama, as Russia Regains Mideast Influence
The world is getting into the habit of making Obama look inept.

The U.S. sends a delegation to Damascus to wean Syria from Iran, and Syria promptly responds by inviting Irans president to the country and tightening the relationship. The U.S. praises Pakistan and sends billions in aid, and Pakistan responds by being less than cooperative in dealing with the Times Square bomber.

Now its Russias turn. Just hours after the Obama administration praised Russia for allegedly cooperating on sanctions against Iran to justify pushing forward a bilateral nuclear weapons limitation agreement with Moscow Russia eagerly responded by subverting U.S. Middle East policy.

If the world were a prison movie, Obama is everyone's bitch, even the aging cross dressing trannie (played by Moammar Khadafy ). Unfortunately for America, Barack Obama and his Marxist cohorts enjoy their role. A little too much.

Russia to sell Syria warplanes, air defense systems
Russia has signed deals to sell Syria warplanes, anti-tank weapons and air defense systems, a senior Russian arms trader said on Friday, prompting an outcry from Syria's foe Israel.

Mikhail Dmitriyev, head of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation, said Russia would supply Syria with MiG-29 fighters, truck-mounted Pantsir short-range surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft artillery systems. He said Russia would also supply Damascus with anti-tank weapons but did not specify their type.
