Report: Assad Gives U.S. 24 Hours to Respond to Letter Threatening Action Against Any Further Israeli Strikes

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad warned Monday that any further Israeli action on Syrian territory would necessitate a “declaration of war.”
The Kuwaiti newspaper Alrai reported that Assad sent a letter to Washington through Moscow to warn that any new Israeli military action would evoke an immediate response. It said Assad expected an answer from U.S. officials within 24 hours.
Sunday, Lebanon’s Al Mayadeen TV – considered close to the regime of President Assad -quoted a Syrian official as saying that the country had stationed missile batteries aimed at Israel in the aftermath of alleged Israeli air strikes on a Damascus military facility.
Earlier in the day Syrian Information Minister Omran Zoabi said that alleged Israeli air strikes against three targets on the outskirts of Damascus “open the door to all possibilities.”
The minister’s comments came after an emergency cabinet meeting organized to respond to what a Western source said was a new strike on Iranian missiles bound for Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
Meanwhile, reports indicated that Israel took steps to assuage President Assad on Monday following the air strikes around Damascus.
The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that Israeli officials informed Assad through diplomatic channels that it did not intend to meddle in Syria’s civil war.
“Make me day.”
Uh-oh! Now we’re scared!
I’d bet it would be more like, “shut up over there, I’m trying to putt!”
As we learned from the Usama bin Ladin operation and Benghazi, like Tolkien’s ‘Ents’ (tree shepherds), pResid ENT 0bama needs at least 100 days—minimum—to, for example, determine whether Merry and Pippin are in fact Hobbits.
This note and its 48 hour deadline in a joke. Obama can’t make up his mind on what shorts to wear in such a short amount of time. The plans for attacks on Israel are in the works as we speak. Look to see dawn of Thursday as the launch date. Syria uses this to get support—even the rebels will back him in a war with the Joos.
What’s next from this wuss, “Don’t call my bluff”?
Guy is as bad as Obama.
Someone said on another thread, what will suddenly happen in the next 24-48 hours to blow Benghazi hearings off the news. Well this might be it!
pussycat vs LION OF JUDAH guess who wins
not that they CARE about bible prophecy... but on the other hand this is almost a garden variety skirmish as far as Israel is concerned...
You just know Obama is not sleeping tonight.
OMG! Waddlewedoo? Somebodycomeup with a plan!
I’ve got early tee time tomorrow, this damned
shit is throwing me off my game.
And a sternly worded letter, none the less
President Assad, “You’re not the only one that can draw a totally meaningless red line in the sand.”
Obama would love Syria to attack Israel the best of both worlds for him
He gets to enjoy it and can say he had nothing to do with it.
Obama is frightening
Duh! It raises the price of oil and keeps it there.
“Doesn’t Assad know when I’m with Reggie having ‘body’ time, I’m not to be bothered?”
“Doesn’t Assad know when I’m with Reggie having ‘body’ time, I’m not to be bothered?”
Why is Syria demanding a reply from the US?
The US should NOT become involved in the Syria civil war, regardless of what that ass McCain continues to say.
It’s none of our business.
The US Gov’t. needs to spend more time dealing with internal problems in this country than apologizing to other countries for being a free nation and working to change other countries from their natural courses.
What did Assad do? Threaten the obama regime he'll bring unbridled capitalism to the USA?
Cue the picture of Obozo bowing in 3 . 2 . 1 !
