Israeli Envoy: Syrian Build-Up - The Strongest Since 1973 War
Arutz Sheva ^ | May 3, 2007 | Hillel Fendel

Posted on 05/06/2007 7:28:46 AM PDT by Fennie

Israel's Ambassador in Washington says Syria is developing its most serious threat against Israel since it attacked Israel in the Yom Kippur War of 1973. "We see Syria developing a very serious threat on the northern border," Ambassador Sallai Meridor told journalists in Washington on Wednesday. He said the threat is manifest in military activity, training, great investments in military equipment - and the build-up of a large arsenal of Scud missiles. We are concerned that they might think that with a large arsenal of rockets that can reach everywhere in Israel, they have the capacity to threaten us...

Gang, here's where this will wind up. If anyone thinks the Israelis are going to march, Lemming-like, into the sea is engaging in what can only be termed mental masturbation:

(For our muslim readers, that's intellectual onanism.)

1. Get rid of Olmert and Kadima.
2. Get in Likud or even a military governemnt.
4. Tell the media and the “international community” to p*ss
off.
5. Carpet bomb and daisy cut all Syrian Forces amassing at the
border. Send missiles on Assad. Use all weapons at disposal
against Syrian forces and Hezbullah.
6. Take, fortify, and forever keep all gained territory.
Settle Israelis on the newly gained territory and make the
desert bloom.

And listen to the rest of the world howl because Israel didn’t respond with “love thy neighbor” to Syria’s “bomb thy neighbor.”

Pelosi said the road to Damascus is the road of peace.
As long as Israeli tanks and jets pave the road to Damascus, she may be proven right... though certainly not the way she thought.

****Pelosi said the road to Damascus is the road of peace.***

Pelosi said this while wearing a head scarf.

Let them howl, Israel will at least still be there to listen. Waiting much longer is certain doom, if any of you out there thinks this much ado about a few Bedouins needs to see the documentary Obsession. Real armies, real fanatics, coming real soon.

I saw the documentary Obsession - but it was not necessary.

I’ve been reading and observing Islam for quite a number of years. What is happening now is no surprise to me.

As for letting the world howl....it only howls when Israel tries to defend herself - even with something fairly passive such as a fence.

*****“All Warfare Is Based On Deception” - Sun Tzu, The Art Of War.****

Except those that openly telegraph their intent such as Madinajad of Iran who has openly stated his intent to wipe Israel off the map.

Or the moslems in Saudi Arabia, Palestinian areas, and other countries who openly state how they hate Christians and Jews.

Nothing deceptive about their intent.

“Nothing deceptive about their intent.”

You’re so wrong! Their threats are merely intended to get our attention and a few concessions after which they will embed themselves firmly in the bosum of civility! Nancy said so...

The only way the huka smoking, camel humping Syrians will launch an offensive against Israel is with a counter threat to neutralize an Israeli nuclear response. This will be a war of brinkmanship. Olmert has to go. He will crumble under the threat.

The Syrians must either have Saddam's WMD's or the Iranians have their back with Nuke counterstrike ability.Pelosi's visit to Syria could be seen as an assurance that she will stop President Bush from any offensive military action against Syrian ally Iran.

Nancy Pelosi should be tried and then hung.

“You’re so wrong” - a wrong way to conduct a discussion.

Their intent is perfectly clear - it’s the response of people like pelosi that are wrong.

but wait - do I detect sarcasm?

Rumor has it that she IS “hung.”

I hate everything she stands for but she seems to have bigger ones than most of the folks at 1600 who seem to cave every chance they get.

Nukes will not be an effective deterrent per se, because Israel will be fighting the enemies within.

IMHO there will be a coordinated Hizzie, PLO/PA, and Syrian attack, at least. I still think Egypt will join the war, but perhaps too late, because the gov’t will first have to be overthrown. That will take a few days.

Note — Israeli forces which were considerably less well equipped and less well supported from without — and had no nukes — prevailed in a similar situation.

In 1948.

God Bless Israel, and God Bless the United States of America.
