Ahmadinejad backs Assad as over 135 killed in Syria
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reiterated to the grand mufti of Syria his full support in the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. "The United States and its allies are trying to provoke a new war in the region to break the line of the Islamic Resistance and save the Zionist regime (... ) but we believe in unity and wisely we can stand against them," Ahmadinejad told visiting Sheikh Ahmed Badreddine Hassoune.
Hassoune arrived in Tehran to participate in an international conference on Islamic unity. He said "President Bashar al-Assad thanks you for the position of Iran" on Syria.
The visit to Tehran by the highest Sunni religious authority in Syria comes as the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria on Monday accused Iran, as well as Russia and China, of being "involved in the massacres" against the Syrian population by providing the regime of Bashar al-Assad political "support" and "weapons".
Meanwhile, more than 135 civilians were killed Thursday by the regime forces, most of them in the city of Homs. Syrian troops pounded Homs on Thursday, the sixth day of a massive assault intended to bend the rebellious city. From Saturday to Wednesday evening, more than 400 civilians were killed, according to opposition sources. In addition, seven members of the security forces were killed and 12 wounded in an ambush by deserters on the road between Deraa (south) and Damascus.
Elsewhere, troops have been conducting operations in other towns such as in Deir ez-Zor, Zabadani, Madaya (40 kilometers north of Damascus) and Idleb (northwest)

Ahmadinejad backs Assad
as over 135 killed in Syria
Chechnya !!
Grozny !!
if you can remember Vladimir Putin ,
came to power in Russia after breaking
the back of the Chechen resistance .
Putin ordered a ballistic missile attack
on Grozny .
this attack , leveled what had been
a modern city .
Putin's forces attacked civilian areas of
Chechnya & Grozny .
high civilian deaths & destruction of civilian
property .
soon broke the will of the Chechen resistance
and the will of the Chechen people .
although the world , was enraged at Putin's
actions .
he soon rose to prominence in Russia and
on the world stage .
in 2009 millions of Iranians took to the streets
and voiced their opposition to Ahmadinejad .
Ahmadinejad unleashed para-military forces
on unarmed protesters .
these forces , inflicted beatings , deaths & imprisonment.
often family's were called to Iranian prisons
to receive their deceased loved ones .
Ahmadinejad has successfully silenced his critics .
it is very clear that both , Putin & Ahmadinejad ,
are encouraging Assad .
to follow their own example .
Bashar. As a much older brother - my advice to you is to take your money and get the hell out of Syria. I know its tough, to just leave and God only knows you have a 1000 reasons to stay and fight? But think of it this way - nobody will care 10 years from now whether by staying you accomplished anything - so just pick up the pieces now and get out and live a good life - no one cares for more than that and neither should you - the other side is rotting in an Islamic jail for the rest of your life.
