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 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!

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.

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