This report - from the Israeli investigative site Debka, see reply post below - coincides with others that Russia is not going to take any sh1t from the US and it's neocon controllers, be it Bush or McCain. (Obama is half into the neocon camp, half still on the side of the people eager for real change that powered him to the nomination.)
Reuters also reported today that the top Russian diplomat in Kabul has warned that if the rhetoric against Russia continues to burn white hot that his country may deny air space to allied forces overflying Russian territory to get to Afghanistan.
Russia as a counter to imperialism!!
History moves in strange ways. And makes fools of aspiring prophets. I thought a few months ago there was a 2/3rds chance of Israel or the US bombing Iran.,
That chance has now moved down to around 20%, with the Cold War heating up again, and unlike old Rome for centuries, the US Empire has a powerful counter. Which, for the real America, not the tool of double-agent neocons or globalist corporations, that's really a big plus.
Go, Bears!!!

Ten Russian warships have docked at Syrian port DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
September 18, 2008, 11:08 PM (GMT+02:00)
Russian Navy in action
Israeli military and naval commanders were taken by surprise by Rear Adm. Andrei Baranov's disclosure that 10 Russian warships are already anchored at the Syrian port of Tartus, DEBKAfile’s military sources report. Moscow and Damascus have worked fast to put in place the agreement reached in Moscow on Sept. 12 by Russian navy commander, Adm. Vladimir Wysotsky and Syrian naval commander Gen. Taleb al-Barri to provide the Russian fleet with a long-term base at Syrian ports. Israel was not aware that this many vessels were involved in the deal.
What most worries Israeli military leaders is an earlier announcement by Adm. Wysotsky that Russia’s Mediterranean assets would subjected to its Black Sea fleet command, thereby placing Russia’s warships near Israel’s shores at the service of Moscow’s contest against the US and NATO in the Caucasian.
It is feared that Israel will be dragged into another cold war. Rear Adm. Baranov disclosed that the warships in Tartus had brought engineering crews to widen and dredge the harbor to accommodate additional, fleet vessels. The crews were also working on expanding Latakia, another Syrian port, possibly for aircraft carriers or guided missile cruisers. The Russians are making no secret of their intention of using their naval presence in Syrian ports as a deterrent to a possible Israeli air strike against Syria.
