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.

[Basheva]

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

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.
