Ike is right about the smoke but I think its more "one up man ship" between nations.
Iran says blah and then Israel HAS to say blah blah and Syria just has to blah blah blah. Each is escalated in tone and scope.
Big problem is, THEY MEAN IT.
I have to agree with Ike on his second statement, general war in the ME is inevitable.
Yup...that is pretty much it. Matter of time.
IDF, keep your engines ready.
