On 13 June, the administration of Barack Obama has said that, given the evidence now certain use of chemical weapons by the Syrian army loyal to Bashar al-Assad, the United States would start to send weapons to the Syrian rebel groups, a policy that the United States had refused to pursue at least until you have passed the so-called "red line." Preparations for logistically supporting the rebels had already been going on for weeks, which began during the exercise "Eager Lion" in Jordan, which was held June 9 to 20, and the last which saw the participation of several army units, the Marines and the U.S. Air Force. A partial confirmation has arrived a few days ago by the Wall Street Journal, which spoke of a secret CIA program already in place to bring weapons into Syria, through some hidden stores of Jordan.
Obama's announcement was welcomed, however, so pretty cold American public opinion. According to a Pew Research poll, only 20% of Americans would be in favor of arming the Syrian rebels, while 70% are opposed. Among the few favorable, however, almost 60% has strong doubts about the excessive involvement of U.S. armed forces in other conflicts and the possibility that the rebels are not then so much the better of the Assad regime. What weighs more in this and other surveys is the difficulty in identifying politically those who oppose - the deployment voters split evenly between Democrats and Republicans.
The issue of weapons in Syria he's back to discuss even in Congress. On 20 June, the Republican senator Ted Cruz (Texas) has criticized the administration's decision to arm the rebels, calling it a "recipe for disaster". According to Cruz weapons could easily fall into the hands of groups linked to al Qaeda, as Nusra Front, who are fighting alongside the Syrian rebels against Assad. Obama said that the weapons will be delivered only to selected groups of rebels, but many doubts remain about the feasibility of monitoring the weapons once they crossed the border with Syria. Cruz and other senators argue that it is counterproductive to deliver weapons to fighters sunita williams wiki who today make a war for a cause "right", but that could one day use them against the United States.
Cruz is the location of cross among the senators: sunita williams wiki 19 June John McCain (Republican of Arizona), Bob Menendez (Democrat delNew Jersey) and Democrat Carl Levin of Michigan) sent a letter to Obama asking that the United States intervene militarily in Syria, not only with the transfer of weapons. According to these and other senators the only way to eliminate the danger of chemical sunita williams wiki weapons is destroying them with air strikes. Some argue that we can replicate an air campaign similar to that of Kosovo in 1999, to give the final blow to the army of the regime and allow the rebels to take power permanently.
If they opt for an intervention in Syria, the United States could count on two very important allies like Jordan and Turkey taking advantage of the air bases of these two countries would be able to establish a no-fly-zone on almost all Syria, and strike rather sunita williams wiki freely Assad's army. And if the administration sunita williams wiki failed to obtain the support of the United Kingdom, you may also take advantage sunita williams wiki of the British air base in Cyprus, also covering the coastal area of Syria.

Syria has 25 air defense sunita williams wiki brigades, for a total of 40,000 men, mainly concentrated in the southern and western part of the country. The brigades control static positions of about 650 anti-aircraft missiles Sa-2, Sa-Sa-3 and 5, more than 200 mobile stations missiles Sa-Sa-6 and 10 and at least 4,000 anti-aircraft artillery batteries of 23 gauge or 100 millimeters. These forces add two independent regiments armed with 100 missiles furniture Sa-Sa-8 and 10, plus an unknown number of Manpad, that is, anti-aircraft sunita williams wiki missiles shoulder-heat-seeking, sunita williams wiki from the limited range but extremely lethal when used against aircraft at low altitude.
May 30th Assad said he had received from Moscow the first battery of anti-aircraft missiles S-300. Russia has promptly denied, but Putin has asked the mzik, the company sunita williams wiki that builds missiles, to speed up production in order to have available a number of batteries to be delivered to Assad in case of necessity, that if the United States decides to intervene militarily in Syria. Damascus would be able to make operational S-300 immediately after delivery because the gunners Syrians are already trained on the system. Thanks to the range of S-300 air defense Sirian
