Good work!
HERE'S HOW YOU PHRASE IT:
"ANYBODY USES CHEMICAL WEAPONS, WE TAKE THEM OUT, ALL THE WAY OUT. YOURS, THEIRS, ANYBODY'S. BETTER GET THE HECK AWAY FROM THOSE BUNKERS. ANY INTERFERENCE WITH OUR CAUTERIZATION WILL INVOKE A MORE BALLISTIC RESPONSE. 6,000,000 SUNBLOCK ADVISED. HAVE A NICE DAY."
Could not have said it better myself.
One can only hope....
Serious pro-left news editing at Google News:
I checked it a couple times the last couple of days:
Benghazi investigation stories censored (non-existent), Gosnell?, what Gosnell?
Yeah...more likely it was something more like a baby-milk factory. < /sarc>
What a contrast. Sure hope our country survives the reign of the stoner Marxist president.
iy'll be purely by the grace of God if we do...
Just reading this...but I think you’re correct...the chemical warehouse bombing was last week I think....
So then Israel’s giving air cover...well, well, well....looks like things are getting a little more heated....of course when all is said and done the Muslims will blame Israel for something that went amiss....same as the do the US.
Amen to that...
Netanyahu..doing the work that Obama refuses to do!
I mean Netanyahu better do this if he wants his country to survive. We are a bit luckier since they probably won’t get to the United States as easily as Israel. If Canada was ready to attack us, I would hope that we would do something.
GO ISRAEL!!! Kicking ass and taking names!
Yes, Nasrallah (Hezbollah head) has recently been rather more than hinting the Hezzies will “go all in” to support Assad:
Yes they would do that, they are desperate .
I was wondering about the Sec of Defense reporting earlier this week that obama was “rethinking” supplying the Syrian rebels with arms...
And there is a report that none of our boots will be in Syria...but Israel had their troops doing maneuvers near the Syrian & Lebanon border. What is that about 60 miles wide?
Exactly. Wish he could be OUR President right now...
Israel has a HERO.
The US is currently stuck with a ZERO.
HERO vs a ZERO... what a contrast.
Benamen Netanyahu is hated in Europe, generally.
Update, I wonder who is helping these weapons get to Hezbollah the Syrian regime or our allies the terrorist whoops I mean the freedom fighters as requested by our leader to cause a little diversion.
An Israeli Airstrike into Syria
May 4, 2013 | 0300
A reported Israeli airstrike into Syria on either May 2 or May 3 is another spillover effect of the country’s ongoing civil war. Details are still scarce on the alleged strike, with U.S. officials reporting somewhat contradictory information to different news outlets, but the primary target of the strike is believed to have been a weapons shipment to Hezbollah, likely in transit. The Lebanese Army had earlier reported increased Israeli Air Force activity over its airspace — a total of 16 flights by Israeli warplanes between the evening of May 2 and the afternoon of May 3, particularly over Marjayoun, Al Khayyam, and Bint Jbeil.
As the Syrian conflict intensifies, it will continue to draw in Syria’s neighbors over concerns ranging from rising jihadist threats to weapons proliferation.
The airstrikes are not the first reported Israeli ones on Syria this year. In January 2013, the Israeli Air Force is believed to have struck a shipment of weapons bound for Hezbollah in Lebanon consisting of SA-8 Gecko and reportedly SA-17 Grizzly surface-to-air weapons systems. As is the case with this week’s strikes, the Israeli aircraft reportedly did not penetrate Syrian airspace, likely attacking their target by using altitude and speed to lob weapons such as U.S.-supplied Joint Direct Attack Munitions across the border into Syria or by using self-powered munitions such as the Delilah cruise missile.
Israeli officials have privately stressed that Israel maintains its own specific redlines in the Syrian conflict and that despite U.S. President Barack Obama’s reported stance, the use of chemical weapons against rebels is not one of them. Specifically, Israeli officials have stressed that they will not tolerate transfers of chemical weapons, ballistic missiles, advanced air-defense systems or sophisticated anti-ship missiles to Hezbollah — or jihadist seizures of such weapons.
Over the past months, the Syrian regime has also effectively withdrawn its forces from the Golan Heights in order to use them against the rebel threat encroaching on Damascus. This has heightened Israeli concern that jihadists will take advantage of the security vacuum in the Golan Heights to begin staging attacks against Israeli units in the area. Israel has said such action will not be tolerated.
Countries near Syria are already feeling the effects of the war. A massive influx of refugees is adding further stress to the already unstable economies of Lebanon and Jordan, and earlier this week a Turkish guard was killed in a border dispute with armed Syrians. Iraq is seeing increased jihadist activity linked to the Syrian conflict. As the conflict in Syria continues to rage, the spillover effects from the civil war will continue to manifest themselves
I don’t recall Israel talking much about bombing other sites in the past either, but I may be forgetful.
