I'm sure the IDF is just terrified now...

Yes, I'm in a sarcastic mood today.

Have they passed out extra pairs of white underwear yet? They make great surrender flags.

(I'm also in a sarcastic mood, thanks to lingering grouchiness over the Cubs)

"As we talk about the war being waged today against Islam we have to keep in mind that there are various powers in this world that have worked systematically on fuelling up this war, in the lead of these powers is Israel, the state of terrorism."

They're upset about all of the Jewish extremists that blow up innocent Syrians on busses in Damascus, right?

What an asshat.

I was struggling for a comment; but you nailed it before I could come up with something. Thanks.

"These pressures will be to no avail and will not move Syria
from its principal position," the general was quoted as saying

Don't worry General, your nation is firmly in the #1 position on our "next" list.

This creates quite a dichotomy for the Syrian Army: is it better to be on alert and die tired or to stand down and die relaxed?

[Beck_isright]

So Syria is trying to get the IDF to laugh themselves to death and declare victory????

"As we talk about the war being waged today against Islam we have to keep in mind that there are various powers in this world that have worked systematically on fuelling up this war, in the lead of these powers is Israel, the state of terrorism."

And here I thought the "various powers" were the Palis, Saudis, Iranians, Syrians, the former dictator of Iraq, and the Taliban that "have worked systematically on fuelling up this war".

After you shut the barn door, be alert.

Israel "should know that no matter how big their military might grows they will not succeed in achieving their goals or in planting fears in us," Assad said.

And beside we have monopoly of sand for butt wiping and cleaning only pair of underwear.

[mewzilla]

Separated at birth?

[CWOJackson]

I wonder if they teach military history in the Syrian Army?

They should adopt a color alert system like ours. Different colors, of course. A couple shades of ice blue, and pale white, and ghostly white.
