Russia Hits Back at U.S. Over Syria -WSJ
MOSCOW—The Kremlin Friday dismissed as unconvincing evidence that U.S. officials provided of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad's alleged use of chemical weapons and criticized Washington's decision to arm Syrian opposition fighters, but stopped short of threatening to deliver air-defense missiles to the Assad government in response.
A senior Kremlin official said Moscow is "not yet" discussing the delivery of the advanced air-defense system in the wake of the U.S. decision. Last month, Russian officials threatened to fulfill the 2010 contract for the S-300 missiles as a way to deter potential outside military intervention in the two-year-old Syrian civil war. Western powers and Israel have staunchly opposed the sale of the system.
Both Moscow and the U.S. are pushing the warring sides in Syria to enter peace talks in the coming months. But opposition forces have appealed for more weapons and support in recent weeks as they've lost ground against Mr. Assad's troops and their allies from the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group. The Kremlin opposes any international action against its longtime client, Mr. Assad, and has been skeptical of past Western claims that his forces were using chemical weapons.
Thursday, President Barack Obama authorized the U.S. administration to arm fighters against the Assad regime, reversing a long-running policy of giving only nonlethal support to the country's opposition. The White House cited confirmation that Mr. Assad's regime had killed up to 150 people with chemical weapons as the reason for its about-face.

Biblical Verses:
Daniel 7:20:
20 I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and about the other horn that came up, **before which three of them fell—the horn that looked more imposing than the others and that had eyes and a mouth that spoke boastfully. ** Egypt,Syria and Libya??? (note: Egypt and Libya both fell under Obama,who is the " horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke great boastful words", and now Syria is next on the list. these are the three kingdoms noted.)Psalm 83:1-8:
1
O God, do not remain silent;
do not turn a deaf ear,
do not stand aloof, O God.
2 See how your enemies growl,
how your foes rear their heads.
3 With cunning they conspire against your people;
they plot against those you cherish.
4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,
so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”

4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,

5 With one mind they plot together;
they form an alliance against you—

of 3Moab and 4the Hagrites,
7 5Byblos, 6Ammon and 7Amalek,
8Philistia, with 9the people of Tyre.
8 Even 10Assyria has joined them
to reinforce Lot’s descendants. -(the ten horns of Revelation 17)

Revelation 17:12-14:
12 “The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast. 13 They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast. 14 They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”
