Syrian military chief says Syria capable of deterring Israel

Syria is capable of creating a power balance that would deter Israel and respond to its ``aggressive adventures,'' the armed forces chief of staff said Wednesday. He also accused the United States of ``unlimited'' support of Israel.

Gen. Hassan Turkmany was speaking at a naval force graduation ceremony. The speech, his third in a week, echoed similar charges made by Syrian officials since Israel attacked what it said was a Palestinian base deep in Syria on Oct. 5.

``Day after day the world is further convinced that Israel doesn't want peace. Syria is capable of creating a balance that would deter Israel and put an end to its aggressive adventures,'' the official Syrian Arab News Agency quoted Turkmany as saying.

``What encouraged Israel to be stubborn and continue its aggressive course is the unlimited financial, military and political support offered by the U.S. President George Bush and his administration's rightist staff,'' Turkmany said.

Turkmany also reiterated his earlier urging for the armed forces to be ready to confront any new attacks by the Jewish state.

" 'Syria is capable of creating a balance that would deter Israel and put an end to its aggressive adventures' "

"... for at least 10 minutes, anyway. After that, I recommend that they run like hell."

Amen to that. If push comes to shove and the U.S., either because they can't or are hobbled by internal and international political posturing, come down hard and fast on the side of Israel, the world will no doubt see first hand what the modern day IDF is capable of, on a wide scale. This isn't 60's and the 70's warfare, and I would like to think the Israelis are just about at the "tipping point" in dealing with Islamic terrorism.

Well, now that is a real fine picture of an Israeli IAF F-15 warbird.

"This seems so obvious to me, yet no talking head mentions this possibility."

The talking heads are committed to the notion that Saddam's WMD never existed. Therefore, they couldn't be in Syria...

Turkmany, put the crack pipe down, and slowly back away from the table.....

<< Syria is capable of creating a power balance that would deter Israel and respond to its "aggressive adventures ...."

In the depths of its deepest delusional fantasies, perhaps.

And notwithstanding that Soddom's weapons are stored among the Syrian opium and cocaine fields of neighboring Lebanon's brutally and criminally occupied Bekkar Valley.

I agree. Syria proved their weakness by their military response or lack of response to Israel's recent attack. Going to the UN as a response really showed how weak they are as well.
