After the fiasco of the "Syrian Gay blogger", I guess some people aren't done trying to push propaganda about Syria.
Turns out that the claims (mostly by Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya) about Iranian revolutionary guards being captured by the "rebels" in Syria is a load of bullshit. In summary:
1- The pictures shown match the Iranian engineers abducted over a month ago in Syria rather than "revolutionar guards."
2- Reason to forcing and make them to change clothes and wear black clothes is to make them appear more like Hezbollah members or IRGC members.
3- A rifle is placed in between them to make them look like fighters; why they should be seating next to a rifle when confessing on their aged crimes.
4- The claims about a "lack of visas" and secretly entering Syria is funny, considering that Iran and Syria removed visas requirements for travel over a year go.
5- A funny part was showing the abductees passports, why should members of Hezbollah and IRGC if on a secret mission in Syria or anywhere else should or would carry passport and indemnification of any kind with them. Specially deploying forces that apparently can’t even speak the local language and need translators.
6- Is the claim that since their passports was signed by an police officer then they are members of military. All Iranian passports are signed and stamped by chief of policy or his deputy.

Dear Cyrus, I would not believe AJ if they said "Good day" :(. They are sure a propaganda arm of Qatar king (a very good democrat, of course). But still, thanks for the facts.
May Iran and Syria be able to go the way their peoples want, and not of what NATO/Zionists/GCC royals do.
