Assad with Bluster

Syria's tyrant may now be so confident that his allies will back him to the hilt while the West leaves his opponents hanging without enough support to finish the Assad regime that Assad has now apparently announced that Russia has supplied him with a super high-tech antiaircraft missile system. Assad is openly challenging Israel now in the Golan Heights as well, as he realizes the free world is craven and lacks the will to stop him and his Iranian backers.
