| WASHINGTON - Israel has no plans “at this present moment” to attack Iran and Syria, the country’s chief spokesman told US television on Sunday, although he charged both countries with playing a key role in recent kidnappings of its soldiers. “There is full responsibility on the shoulders of Iran and Syria,” spokesman Isaac Herzog told ABC television’s “This Week” program, without ruling out future attacks against the two countries. “The responsibility lies on them, and we know it and we will remember it,” Herzog said. “Nonetheless at this present moment we are focused on Lebanon.”

| #6 They should. Fox News showed evidence of Syrian missles crashing into Isreal. The evidence? the loaded buckshot that the Syrian-made missle covered the street with. I think Assad needs a section of his palace flattened. |

| #3 DEFENSETECH.org has a good article on Israel's strategy which I agree with, which can be summed up as Israel may not, for the moment, desire to invade Lebanon but neither will it allow Syrian andor Iranian main units easy access into central and southern southern Lebanon. Meanwhile, FREEREPUBLIC. com has an article from FREE-LEBANON.com which allegedly claims two of the captured Israelis are being held in the Iranian embassy in Beruit!? Both Islamist terrorist and Syrian-Iranian conventional soldier will be hard-pressed to escape Israeli detection, or destruction, iff Israel's anti-logistics/ reinforcement strategies against Lebanon's coasts and roadways, etc. succeeds. DAN GILLERMAN, Israel's ambassador to the UNO, made it clear on O'Reilly that despite Israel proclaiming its current lack of intent to invade or occupy southern Lebanon, Israel is keeping all options open for future action, and that Israel will do what it is needed to survive and protect her existence. |
