So maybe Assad was bluffing



Maybe Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was bluffing when he gave an interview to Hezbullah's al-Manar television - which was broadcast on Thursday night - indicating that Syria already has the Russian S-300 anti-missile system. Two Russian newspapers are reporting on Friday that Syria will not have the S-300  before 2014.

Russia is scheduled to deliver the S-300 anti-aircraft missiles to Syria
