Just by threatening this.. he is guaranteeing Syria’s suicide.

Kinda like suicide by cop. You point your gun at a cop and you are guaranteeing your death.

You threaten Israel like this and they may just blow you to kingdom come.

I think most of the egging is coming from USA—see McCain. Israel is just the closest one to smack.

Assad knows he can’t do sh** to Israel, and he’s got a full-scale civil war on his hands already.

But its considered good Muslim PR to occasionally declare your desire to kill Jews and destroy Israel.

While I know Damascus will be destroyed and Psalm 83 looks soon to be fulfilled, what is AP’s motivation(or those that give them their talking points)? Hillary has already publically said that Assad(just like Kaddafi) has to go. Is this going to be used to further justify his removal. The best situation for Israel is stalemate with neither Assad or the Muslim Brotherhood running the show. The media and the leftists are no friend of Israel but they would use Israel for their own purposes in a second. Will they actually use this to drone assassinate Assad? Other articles are saying Assad is regaining the upper hand — that is completely unacceptable for the leftist plans to install the Muslim Brotherhood into Syria. Why was McCain talking to the rebels! Are they so impatient that they will create justification for a NATO/drone assassination?

Syria needs to wipe out a few million islamo rebels before they commit suicide. islam needs attrition like a fish needs water.
