Israel doesn't want anything as half-assed as this 'proposal', Lurch. Swatting the hive weeks after the fact, only to find out the bees have moved everything underground.
But how great is the Schadenfreude of Lurch delivering an almost-presidential sounding summation on Friday morning, and Bobo pulling the rug out from under him 6 hours later. Incroyable!
Israel does this kind of payback all the time. After terrorism, they pick out targets to punish and lob missiles at them.
Also, if the the threat is significant, they will do short term invasions and pull out. In America, we are not used to this kind of thinking. In the first gulf war, Bush Senior did pretty much that. They went in, blew up a bunch of things, killed a lot of the enemy and left. Now, after our long term engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan, a lot of people think that would be a better way to go. Less blood and treasure to send a message.
We are NOT going to change these people. There is a good chance that the "rebels" are as bad as Assad, or worse. Remember when Reagan bombed Tripoli? When we were in Lebanon? When it became apparent as to what we were dealing with- we left.
