I wonder how much it would cost to get an American General to defect? People selling out their country to outsider invaders is not a new phenomena. Also anyone else find it strange that the Arab league that is made up exclusively of dictators and Monarchs are calling for democracy in Syria? Sad but a lot of the so called Syria opposition do not understand that their country is a pon in the real fight and that is the fight for Iran. They do not care about you, not the women or the children, they just want you for Iran.

Stay classy Generals
