Russia Wants Iran In the Loop

By Micah Halpern
I've Been Thinking:

Russia suggested that Iran be invited to the next international meeting discussing Syria.
Russia was suggesting that Iran become part of the solution as opposed to part of the problem.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton responded to the suggestion by saying that it is "hard to imagine inviting a country that is stage-managing the Assad regime's assault on its people."

Iran is deeply involved in propping up Assad. Iran is giving Syria intel, training and operational assistance. They are supplying weapons and even tactics and advice.

Clinton thinks that inviting Iran would be preposterous. The problem with Clinton̢۪s analysis is that Russia is giving Syria the same exact help that Iran is giving Syria.

Just like Iran, Russia is giving Syria intel, training and operational assistance. They are supplying weapons and even tactics and advice.
