Is it too much to hope they got Kucinich?

Not too much to hope, but maybe too much to expect.

Unless he was doing a Hanoi Jane at the Syrian SAM or SAM radar site.

[El Gato]

Feints for an attack on Iran?

Or plowing the way?

[HardStarboard]

>>>,i> And I suppose the UN will condemn the Israelis for doing what needed to be done?<<<

No, but UNIFIL has put in an emergency requisition for nail pullers to loan to Hezbollah so they can open the Iranian goodie boxes.

[El Gato]

Palestinian qassam rocket injured 69 of its soldiers, five seriously, at the Zikim army base.

There's another place that ought to be smoking hole within 12-24 hours. Sixty nine casualties is a bunch in a country as small as Israel.

[SamuraiScot]

Syria first reported the incident on the day, saying its air defences had engaged five Israeli planes

Shortly before the planes took them out?

[ChessExpert]

I hope Israel takes out the depots that have the WMDs formerly known as Saddam’s.

Since Israel and Syria are formally STILL at war — there should be no surprise or concern that she attacks her enemy if an attractive target presents itself.....

Nothing to see here folks, move along.....
Warriors who refuse to die, are engaged in serious business.

>>>One comment I do agree with Ron Paul is “Israel can take care of itself”.<<<

Read for detail.

In this case it looks like Israel was helping the US figure out how potent Iranian air defences might be when we hit their nuke sites.

[Williams]

"Israeli warplanes carried out an air strike "deep inside" Syria, escalating tensions between the two countries."

I find that to be an awfully funny sentence.

[P.O.E.]

I say, go for it, Israel. Let us know if you need any help.

“Shortly before the planes took them out?”

Exactly.

Based on what’s being said and what’s not being said, it appears the Israeli raid was successful.

[Colorado Cowgirl]

Damn, I like your thinking!! Who do I write the check to??An absolute waste of human flesh, oh did I say that out loud?

[Thrownatbirth]

Feints for an attack on Iran?

Between the US and Israel, someone drew a line in the sand.

[elhombrelibre]

I don’t know whom I want to see destroyed first, Assad or the mad mullahs.

[jveritas]

As long as they both get destroyed I think the order of who will be destroyed first is not that important :)

[bruinbirdman]

"shipment of Iranian arms crossing Syria for use by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah "

Kucinich was in the lead truck?

[elhombrelibre]

Then we flip a coin.

[DoughtyOne]

No such luck...

[Braak]

Knew this was coming...Arab-Israeli Round 5, or is it 6?

[ConservatismNow]

want to bet they aren’t?
