Syria is the front line of the Islamic Revolution
(CNN) -- While the
world has been focused on eliminating Syria's chemical weapons, a
vicious war within a war has gained momentum in northern Syria. It is a
complex conflict that pits al Qaeda affiliates against more moderate
rebel factions and against Syria's 2-million strong Kurdish minority.
But it also threatens to spill far beyond Syria's borders. -- Syria's
brutal war within a war gains momentum; CNN, 15 December 2013.
Background Discussions
HRI:IDIN:
H-II OPSEC Security-Risk Management feedback Loop continues global
contingency discussions for crisis response associated with the Syrian
humanitarian emergency and international security crisis spiral. In
deepest appreciation for the international media support with
investigative research. The counterterrorism crisis is now global in
scope, empowering both Sunni and Shia Islamic terrorist groups --
"Syria is the front line of the Islamic Revolution." -- Major General
Mohammad Jafari, commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard -- Council on
Foreign Relations.
Syria was a counterterrorism WMD containment operation from day one...
The consquences of allowing the crisis to spiral out of control is now
(1) three times as many Islamic terrorist groups as the Free Syrian
Army, making Syria the worlds top Sunni Terrorist Training Center, and
(2) Shia Iranian:Hezbollah command and control of the Syrian military
complex, potential perpetrators of chemical attacks in Syria with
advanced warheads.

must be counterterrorism focused to stabilize the humanitarian
catastrophe within Syria and countries supporting the refugee crisis,
as well as restoration of security for the region. - Guidance from the
National Counterterrorism Center http://www.nctc.gov/site/groups/index.html
Fifteen Syrian armed opposition groups, including the Supreme Military
Council of Free Syrian Army (FSA), have established a new front under
the name of “Syrian Rebels Front” to fight both President Bashar
al-Assad’s government and al-Qaeda-affiliated groups in Syria. -- Syria

The Humanitarian Catastrophe
Dr Zaher Sahloul, SAMS
president SAMS (Syrian American Medical Society) forwarded the
following note from an Orthopedic surgeon who was his classmate and now
volunteering in a hospital supported by SAMS in Aleppo.... The regime
threw another barrel bomb on a nearby neighborhood". This is not a
horror movie, this is a public hospital called M-10 in the heart of
Aleppo, in an area controlled by the opposition!! Headless
children, yes children, other children screaming who lost their legs
and arms, wounded young men thrown on the floor in pools of their blood
and no place to accommodate them, one young man with head injury and
large wounds who is convulsing, a mother screaming and crying pointing
to her son begging doctors to take care of him, he is lying motionless
dead on one of the hospital beds although she thinks that he is still
alive, a group of men entered the Emergency Room carrying another young
man who was just killed and chanting Takbeer for the martyr. Suddenly a
man entered the hospital screaming please help, help...

An ounce of prevention (2011)
is worth a pound of cure.... UN plan to assist 16 million people
affected by Syria crisis in 2014, including 9.3 million inside Syria
and 4.1 million refugees. Someone is smoking crack, UN appeals for
$12.9 Billion in 2014, when they couldn't even raise $6 billion in
2013. That said, with the humanitarian and security catastrophe
spiraling out of control, the cost of military intervention for
stabilization and security, in crisis response, could make those
numbers look small. Overall costs for Iraqi SSTR are projected to be in
the vicinity of $6 Trillion...
