Tuesday, June 21, 2005 [As retreat exposes soft underbelly] ISRAEL HEADS FOR WAR WITH SYRIA

ISRAEL HEADS FOR WAR WITH SYRIA TEL AVIV [MENL] -- Israel's military has been preparing for the increasing prospect of a war with Syria in a confrontation expected to include Iran and Hizbullah.

The General Staff has discussed an assessment by the military's Northern Command of an emerging threat from Syria and Hizbullah over the next year. Northern Command said a weakened Syria, under pressure from the United States to withdraw from Lebanon, was likely to approve an Iranian-Hizbullah campaign against Israel.

Military sources said this assessment was the latest by several senior officers who envision a major war with Syria by 2007. The sources said Iran and Syria have used Hizbullah to weaken Israel strategically and erode its morale. The sources said the General Staff has not discussed an Israeli strike on Iran. Hizbullah has been regarded as the leading supporter of the Palestinian war against Israel, which began in 2000. The Shi'ite insurgency group has also infiltrated the Israeli Arab community and recruited citizens for intelligence and other operations. == NOTE: The above is not the full item.

Things are indeed looking shaky, sharon is sick of restraint, and Abass can't restrain jihadists. Peace and democracy bustin' out in the ME hood.

Syria was supposed to be our next target. Just read the Wolfowitz manual. Unfortunately, we have fucked up in Iraq so badly that we are unable to commit our infantry to another war, so we will have Israel do it by proxy instead. Then all the Republicans can just jump on the Israeli bandwagon as we provide them air support in their war. That way they can claim that anyone who opposes the war with Syria is both unpatriotic and anti-semitic.

This has a nuke response by Israel written all over ...

many of the rockets in S Lebanon that can hit deep into Israel are laced with VX gas ...any of that crap is let loose and Damascus probably goes up in smoke

All out war looms in the gulf

It would be nice if Israel would let the offensive team play for a while. The defense must be getting tired.
