( Lucas : I can not interpret the scenario that was pushed forward to go to war as something else than a kill of the people, not the help in solving a conflict or a stop to the conflict in Syria; even if that conflict has been fueled with weapons and others dark ops in support of certain factions by those now going to attack and kill. With missiles and bomber attacks we will see lots of deaths and damages that can not be qualified as collateral damage. It is pre-determined and in full consciousness making a decision for genocide of the innocent Syrian people. We have seen those scenarios already with Iraq and others countries. Are we fooled again!)

Sounds like a lot of munitions are coming in, maybe chemical weapons.
Lots of activities were observed last night around RG 105th brigade in Qasyoon mountain. Loaded trucks entered & then left empty.

The Middle East challenges and dissipates power quickly. We’re seeing that now in Syria.
President Obama drew a “red line” on the use of chemical weapons in Syria. The dictator Bashar al-Assad, sensing Obama’s determination to avoid further military conflict, has crossed that line, for the obvious tactical reason that such arms are ideal in a terror war against a civilian population in revolt. Weapons of mass destruction are the great equalizers: for Syria’s minority Alawite Shi’ite dictatorship, they are an essential tool to break the stalemate against the much more numerous Sunni opposition.

The Middle East, explained in one (sort of terrifying) chart

Remember the 400 tons of arms the Syrian rebels received a few days before Kerry’s speech? Well, in that case, they’ll be very useful soon.
Some of these arms (more expected to arrive beyond the 400 tons) are sophisticated & will prove to be effective as Assad gets the slaps
According to @MahirZeynalov some of them are sophisticated weapons. He has the details.
