Syria is threatening? Why am I not chilled?

[madison10]

Why would Israel "attack" Syria? Hot pursuit of Hezb'allah? I also think this is big talk from small minds...Syria's na-na moment.

[Recon Dad]

I've been espousing this for a while now, I'm hoping the Israeli's pick up on it.

[Graybeard58]

You might say they are caught between Iraq and a hard place.

Then again, you might not.

I wouldn't say it this early in the morning.

Let's hope so. It's time to get rid of those festering sores.

Hehehe,,,, first Syria threatened to attack Israel if Israel invaded or moved troops into Lebanon in any way. Well, that has come and gone. So I guess the next threat is to get involved if Israel attacks Syria. Well wouldn't that kind of be expected of any country if attacked (whether justified or not)?

We need to stay out of this. If we enter we have to look ate what the Russians may do.. The Russians are stirring the pot. What I feel isneeded is for some Amricans to "Volunteer" to help Israel. Much like Americans volunteered to help the Brits back in 1939. Volunteer to fight with Israels Air Force while we lend-lease them and airplane to fight in ,an a crew to maintain it.

That's a misleading headline in that article. They aren't going to "support Hezbollah" at all. They'll respond if Israel attacks them, that's it.

I have an idea, Syria, why don't you just QQ more.

How about this, if Israel finds out any of the rockets landing daily on their civilian population were supplied by you, they return the favor with a few of their own.

[A. Pole]

A fact not generally acknowledged, but the Israelis have one of the finest and most sharply honed intelligence gathering apparatus the world has ever seen (or not seen). This has made all the difference for decades.

Like in 1973?

[...] I dont see any protests about Iran and Syria allowing weapons to pass through their countries and accross their borders, to what is essentially a terrorist organisation.[...]

I do not understand how Iran can do it? It is separated from the area by Iraq and Turkey?
