The "six generals" are never actually identified?
Because they are fearful for their families, etc.


Scud missiles used for local bombardment? Not when mortars, howitzers, and tank gunnery as well as Katyusha type rockets will do.
"Syria is known to possess Scud-B, Frog-7 and two hundred SS-21 (120km/480kg) missiles purchased from the Soviet Union."
Lieutenant Omar Al-Homsy from Farouk Battalion explaining the reasons for withdrawing and talking about how the Assad Army used Scud missiles in their attacks against Baba Amr.




And Sunni al-Qaeda is unrelated to Shiite Iran and Allawite Syrian governments. It is Saudi Arabian and Egyptian in origin!
Where was that stated? All that was stated was that Iran supported Al Qaeda in Iraq. It did.
"Al Qaeda and its affiliate, al Qaeda in Iraq, are among the terrorist groups supported by the MOIS, which is Iran's chief intelligence agency."
"A terrorist in Iraq linked to Al-Qaeda has also admitted that Iran is supporting Al-Qaeda with weapons and money, and says that he personally has dispatched terrorists to Iraq via Syria, also implicating that country (which is an ally of Iran)."
