Hopefully the US is getting ready for uprisings in Iraq in conjunction with this. Sadr already said he was going to attack US Forces if we keep supporting Israel. That would be a good thing IMHO as we could wipe out his militia and be done with it.

Should also keep an eye out here in the U.S.. The Iranian Mahdi Wannabe recently warned anyone who supports Israel. We can expect any terrorist cells the Iranians have to go active if Syria and Israel start exchanging blows. That brings the battle to Iran's doorstep and more or less forces their hand.

My sincere hope is that the whackos are in too deep with their bluster to back down...I think they'd rather die than lose face....and they're showing up for the gunfight, they called, with no bullets. That when it hits the fan, there will be a quick regime change in Iran...nuke facilities bombed...nothing like pretext; Syria will get in line quick and sever the ties with the soon to be dead terrorists, and get out of Lebenon for real; Russia and China will quickly position themselves on the winning side to protect their assets and market; and the Wahhabi Master Race will be heard from no more for a least the next 200 years.

Milquetoastee diplomacy only delays the inevitable until a much more dangerous time. "Go" for launch. No alternative. No better time than now. 'finger, hand, arm---body.'

Very true. Sadr has been shut down by the US military once, and many of the soldiers here would love to put one between his eyes. Sadr would be a fool to step up if Iran is attacked.

In my opinion, I believe Iran is talking crap now, but they won't step up if Syria is attacked. You had better believe America will be right there. Our troops are right next door and I am sure President Bush and the top brass would feel much better if the troops here are protected by their own. Iran would be folish to get involved though. We all know they love to talk, but the question is, are the really crazy enough to act? For some reason, I say they are not.

So many scenarios play through my mind, and every one of them leads to total destruction of Syria and Lebanon. Quite handily.

The US is alway ready for uprisings, and they will be put down like they always are. I don't like the idea of being 5 miles off of the Syrian border at this small place, but I hope the militias do come out. Our Marines want nothig more than open target practice on these cowards that refuse to fight them face to face. Win win situation my freidn. Your typical good vs. evil!

We can also expect a lot more high alerts here in America. Too many Muslims see this as a crusade.

I hane the impression that Sadr would last about 5 minutes if he actively supports Iran/Syria with his militia.

Sadr already said he was going to attack US Forces

Naturally, I expect and hope there are multiple 2000-lb bombs waiting for this jerk.
