“Iranians see Syria as the 35th province of [their country]. … Many Iranian authorities have voiced this as well. It is obvious that Iran and Hizbullah are also included in the Syrian war. … The fact that Hizbullah has begun offensives in Idlib's al-Kusair region is evidence of this,” said Saleh.

Even if true, it would be far, far better than what 0 is planning.

One thing is for sure—Israel can drop a bomb anywhere in Syria without risk of killing a friend.

This is Game of Thrones for real.

When you play the game of thrones, you win or die.

There is no middle ground.

I would say that who wins isn’t the issue. I would say Israel “has an interest” that NO ONE win too easily. LOL. When Arabs are killing Arabs don’t just stand there! LOL

Israel certainly has an interest in the events in Syria, but all things considered wouldn’t she prefer a Sunni dominated Syria to an Iranian dominated Syria. I still think the IDF would prefer a prostrate Syria, which would provide a base for attacking Iran.

Why not? The bodies of mujahdeen stack higher each day. Eventually they’ll run out.

Israel has co-existed with Assad a very long time. If he goes he will be replaced by Jew hating al-Qaida types who would rather kill a jew than a Christian.

“Israel has co-existed with Assad a very long time. If he goes he will be replaced by Jew hating al-Qaida types who would rather kill a jew than a Christian.”

I agree with most of that, but the millions of Christians in Syria (many refugees from other “Arab Spring” countries) will either have to get out are be slaughtered in Syria, should the terrorists win.

The white king has co-existed with the black rook for a very long time. If it goes, it will be replaced by white-hating pawns, striving to reach the other side of the board and change themselves into rooks.
