| Assad: Any attack on Iran would be a global 'disaster' |
| 2008-09-04 |
| They're all singing the same song, aren't they? Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said on Wednesday that any attack on Iran would be a disaster and he pledged to help find a peaceful solution to the nuclear dispute between the West and Tehran. "Nobody in the world will be able to bear the consequences of any action that is not peaceful because it would not result in a solution but in a disaster," Assad said after meeting French President Nicolas Sarkozy in the Syrian capital. "Obviously there is a lack of confidence between Iran and the countries involved in this issue. We will continue our efforts for dialogue," he said. |

| #3 Maybe he is warning us of real danger. According to Gen. Sada, Saddam gave orders to use chemical weapons on Israel if attacked by the US in 1990, but the US military took out his Air Force and delivery systems immediately except for a few Scuds that managed through on mobile launchers. Similar threats have been issued against America and Israel and our global interests by our blustery adversary and other Islamists. Russian arms sales and cooperation has given them the capability, and the Iranians have even practiced mobile missile launches from aboard boat decks, making any water craft potentially a deadly weapon. Nearly all US bases are within 200 miles of the coast, giving them the ability to carry out their threats from most anywhere. I just hope we haven't passed up the window of opportunity we had by delaying any decisive action. |
