Debka says the “Syrian” bus we blew up was filled with Palestinian fighters.

So?

What would a bus be doing traveling during a war? Strange timing.

Its not as if they didn't have plenty of warning that war was coming.

The other aspect that makes this seem more plausible is that US offials have not fallen all over themselves apologizing for this. The Syrians have (quietly) allowed us to use their airspace and we would not want to endanger that.

This is more Israeli wishful thinking. They'd LOVE to the U.S. to fight their battles for them.

Cheap shot.

The Israelis are more than capable of defending themselves and have never asked us to defend them.

Can I ask a stupid question without appearing to be totally out of the loop? What the heck is Debka?

[Kewlhand`tek]

its called allah's jihad tour........i thought this was an accident....seems like we done the right thing after all. Allah must not be pleased with them

Sorry...got my answer when I read through the posts.

DEBKA says:   "It was deliberately fired from an F-15 fighter-bomber at a bus carrying armed Palestinian volunteers to join up with Iraqi forces..."

Once again, DEBKA is shown to be strictly a source of bovine excrement. Both Syrian and U.S. forces agree that the bus was hit while RETURNING to Syria from Iraq and NOT traveling to Iraq. This was just an "aw shucks", fog of war, accident, nothing more.

DEBKA is the single most unreliable source of "intelligence" on the internet and their stories should NEVER see the light of day anywhere, much less be posted to FR.

Actually, someone mentioned yesterday that this bus may have been filled with recruited suicide bombers.

[hotpotato]

The only problem with this theory is that the bus was headed to Syria from Iraq.

I heard that, too. But I also wonder how that could be proven *after* it was hit. Who said it was headed to Syria? Syria?

I'll believe it when Ahead News confirms!

See for yourself:

It's "intelligence" on security issues from an Israeli perspective.

we don't have UN approval....

What are you, some kind of Daschle?

[Jonez712]

Ah, I see. I didn't hear that the bus was on a bridge that was being targeted. Thanks for clearing that up.

"What are you, some kind of Daschle? "

Them there is fightin' words friend.

come to think of it - that's a pretty good insult....reckon I'll have to use that.
