| 'By remaining silent, US encourages Israel to perform more violations' | |
| 2007-09-08 | |
| A Syrian government newspaper accused the US on Saturday of encouraging Israel's reported violation of Syrian airspace by remaining silent on the issue. "This new Israeli hostile operation was carried out in coordination between Washington and Tel Aviv," the Tishrin newspaper said in a front-page editorial. US silence can only be interpreted as an "overt and scandalous encouragement of Israel," it said. Forgot the Harms & bunker busters that USG sells to IAF, Ahmad.

| #9 "accused the US on Saturday of encouraging Israel's reported violation of Syrian airspace by remaining silent on the issue" They'd prefer that we speak up and remove all doubt that we encourage Israel to f*** with Syria (just for the fun of it)? |

| #8 Moose, that's definitely worth an earmark/production contract, but don't expect Murtha and Co. to put that ahead of an earmark for a campaign-contribution for a non-existent Navy Pump.... |

| #7 ;-) Unfortunately, an unmanned version of the F15s or F16s is a bit beyond the state of the art right now ... and would be pretty expensive to boot. |

| #6 If Israel really wanted some fun, they should get a drone aircraft with the same signature as one of their fighters, then let the Syrians use one of their expensive Russian SAMs to shoot it down. Have the drone aircraft built with Iranian parts and covered in Farsi script. It would be worth it for the humor alone. Plus they could get some real data from the Russian SAM at the same time. |

| #4 This was a 'no trespassing' sign I've seen a few times, always out in the countryside: Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again. |

| #2 Trespassers will be violated. Surivors will be prosecuted. - sign posted by my grandfather in his older years, at the start of the unpaved drive up the mountain to the house he renovated himself. (It's been decades since he died but I do miss that man ...) |

| #1 Here's an idea. Why don't the Syrians fly down and try to violate Israeli airspace? And see what happens... |
