Syrian army now at its highest state of alert

Military Intelligence Chief: Syrian army now at its highest state of alert By Gideon Alon, Haaretz Correspondent Syria has placed its military at its highest state of alert in recent years, Israel Defense Forces Intelligence Chief Major General Amos Yadlin told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Tuesday. Syrian forces do remain, however, on a defensive rather than offensive alert. Yadlin emphasized that "neither Syria nor Israel are interested in a military clash but the situation is explosive and the events may potentially be incorrectly interpreted. This could entangle Syria up in a battle against us." Hezbollah is interested in opening another front for Israel with Syria, Yadlin said. Hezbollah gunners are firing at the Golan Heights in an effort to embroil Syria in the fighting. Yadlin noted that Syria, together with Iran, was Hezbollah's main weapons supplier during the past years. The missiles that killed Israelis in Haifa came from the Syrian military. The Military Intelligence chief rejected assertions that the IDF was surprised by Hezbollah's level of preparedness in south Lebanon. "There was no element of surprise in Hezbollah's deployment," Yadlin said. "During the past year, we passed intelligence assessments on to the decision-making level, including comprehensive information on long-range missiles supplied to Hezbollah." Committee Chairman MK Tzachi Hanegbi (Kadima) supported Yadlin's assertions and said he was "insulted" during the past several days by media reports indicating Israel was surprised by Hezbollah.

The Hezzies want war, Armajabob, who pulls the strings, wants war, and Syria, the b#$&% of Armajabob, just sits their and takes it. Syria has the most to lose and they think Iran can take on the world. They deserve everything they get. By Aug 22, this world will be in Hell. Get ready....

I hope they're paying attention. Maybe Israel can shut this crowd up again like they were between WW1 and WW2.

I'm sure they have manned all the artillery installations on all the school grounds, readied the 9 year old martyrs, and have freshly beaten their wives.

Idiots.

Highest state of alert? What? Have they opened some new cans of tennis balls? Those are deadly.

Something must be up: the Iranians probably have the bomb.

what it really means is the syrian play army has no idea what is happening but the geek dentist dictator is burying himself in his underground bunker with his comic books and Nehi.
