the mossad will get nasrallah, I have full confidence in their abilities to kill who they want.
I wonder if the Israelis have a legal mechanism to remove a PM before holding new elections?
Olmert's not a Republican and in fact not even an American. Take this where it belongs: Israel wimped out, Olmert is a notorious lefty whose entire family is active in left-wing "peace" causes in Israel, and he obviously had no heart to go through with it. Bush can only do so many things, and running a foreign country (Israel) is not one of them.
That said, I don't think Syria plans to do anything. The Middle Eastern nuts have found that they can bluster and howl without ever being held accountable. Furthermore, it's almost as good as really attacking, thanks to our press. All they have to do is say some irrational thing and it is magnified so that the world trembles. It's a lot cheaper than war, too.
I think they will be as successful as they were the last time they tried this. That's when Israel GOT the Golan Heights!
They may have been lulled into a stupid state by the news lately making Israel out to be defeated by the Hezzies. If they want to believe that, then they deserved to be kicked to the curb.
I'm still waiting for Haaretz's follow-up on this. Perhaps they got a leaked copy of the speech? Haaretz has been fairly reliable in this latest war which is why I think they must have a good source. To put words in a foreign leader's mouth like that does not seem like something they'd do.
No Nation Building this time!!!! Payback your address is Damascus.
Me too.
i think this is Iran and Syria practicing war and guaging world response. Who will back Israel? Who will do nothing? (europe) Who will back Iran? Syria, China, North Korea....Syria is just going to liberate the Golan Heights sounds an awful lot like Hitler was going to stop with Poland.
I know Israel has F-16's, do they have A10's? Those 30 tankds would not last too long.
Mere target practice for a Warthog squadron..
God's still in control. Syria can't come against Israel without being destroyed herself.
Correction: Lots of Syrians are about to die.
Yep. Any pretext will do. The Islamofascists have got their mojo working now. They are prepping for the main act.
Sounds like an invitation for Israel to go all the way to Damascus.
Ignore this little idiot bitch or spank his ass? The real problem is his bitch mother - Iran.
Syrian armor came within a breath of breaking through the Israeli defenses in the Golan back in 1973, but was repulsed in a heroic effort by outnumbered IDF tanks. The battle was the stuff of legend, and is studied in leadership courses all over the world (except in Muslim armies, I'd imagine).
That said, Syria's surprise attack was launched from the high ground now occupied by the IDF. The Golan Heights is among the world's most strategic military locations. Beneath it, across the plains to the east, Damascus itself lies bare -- which is why Israel has refused to return this captured land to Assad or his boy. I doubt Syria could take it back from the IDF at any cost.
What's the one that leaves structures but bye-byes people? Neutron?
