#4 I laugh imagining how those Syrian military are shaking in their boots watching the US military perform. And knowing US troops, I wouldn't put it past them to give the Syrians a little extra show--just to let them know "Who's Yer Daddy?"

#5 Ever since the Powell visits we have been warning Syria to stop Al Q infiltration and resupply through Syria. Syria smiles, nods, and agrees, and goes about their dirty little business. They need something done to them to get their attention, or we will be seen as nothing but generators of hollow words.

#9 Well hell. Assad had to do something with those 15,000 troops from Lebanon. He certainly didn't want them hanging about in Damacus

#10 Where's the 6th Fleet? It's location will tell you what GW has up his sleeve. As for "doing something stupid", haven't they already done ENOUGH? I'm sure there are a bunch of Syrian junior officers and senior NCOs wishing they were assigned to the Greenland Embassy about now.
