Syria was said to have halted military exercises amid a troop epidemic. The Syrian opposition has asserted that President Bashar Assad ordered the suspension of military training. Assad was said to have issued the order in mid-June 2010 amid an epidemic of diarrhea at army camps. The Syrian military, said to have come under increasing domination by Iran, has not acknowledged the training suspension.

I think they had the fish.

[US Navy Vet]

Poor Babies...:-)!

[Nachum]

Bad humus?

[hal ogen]

So I guess that good news means that the syrians are no longer full of...

[pointsal]

Didn’t Cheney invest in a medical service company?

[SIDENET]

[edpc]

A little mishap in their bio and chem training, perhaps....?

[EGPWS]

Well, ain't that the shits!

Seek the God of happiness and all will be good.....maybe.

[SanFranDan]

I know. Ah, those evil joooos (juice)

Enemies of the Syrians have discovered “the brown noise”?

an epidemic of diarrhea

Mess with Israel, and the true and living God has a wide range of choices in how He deals with you.

Gives new meaning to the fighter pilot’s call of “S**t Hot!”

[txhurl]

Feign weakness when you are strong squirting?

[happyathome]

“new recruits were hardest hit”

Jeez this sounds like the New York Times.

[smokingfrog]

Israeli secret weapon, or imported from Iran?

[Rebelbase]

Secret new Israeli mind influence weapon that convinces one to wipe with the right hand?

Several days ago, it was reported that the Syrian army was afflicted with plague. This would make sense during a drought, as rodents would leave their distressed area and go where people had food. When they died, the fleas on them would head to the nearest animal, or person.

[ol' hoghead]

AMEN!

[Paladin2]

It’s obviously the will of Allah and Karl Rove.

[Mobties]

That’s some baaaad hummus.

[lurk]

You can read this same kind of stuff in the Old Testament.

[FreedomNotSafety]

I believe the shooting is about to start over there so this is just a case of being a chicken Shi'ite. I believe they are signaling to Israel that they will sit this one out!

[Michael Barnes]

Ah, but do they speak jive?

[Michael Barnes]

Annnnnnnnnnndd...I should have scrolled down a little further first..

Emerods anyone?

[eyedigress]

It could get worthy.

[Husker24]

Maybe Israel has deployed the dreaded “brown note”

[humantech]

Amen.
And I would say this is probably just the first, and most mild choice he offered them.
They’re stiff necked though- they’ll keep pushing and things will escalate.

God did not force the Syrians to leave.....He just made them willing to go! LOL!

Very true. Will He deal with 0bama or America? I hope He spares America and deals with 0bama.

0bama is in for some great humiliation, for certain.

[FreeStateYank]

Plague, intestinal pestilence...gee, wonder whats next.

Any bets on frogs?

[NTHockey]

Tell them that spare ribs and beer are the only cure for diarrhea.

[TheOldLady]

Ah! Flying champagne corks. You’re happy. Me too. :-)

[a fool in paradise]

“Plug the leaks, daddy”

[Slings and Arrows]

Ah! Flying champagne corks. You’re happy. Me too. :-)

Ummm...yes. Yes, that's exactly what I meant. ;^)

[Slings and Arrows]

That’s above his pay grade. (OK, maybe not.)
