Israel: Syrian missiles tipped with VX nerve gas wait in the wings

#8  Clint Eastwood's famous saying & ".44 Magnum" could also easily apply to between Dubya & Moud, as Dubya is spreading and entrenching US influence all around Iran, and all but daring Moud to do something. The only thing that will stop Dubya is CHANGE IN ADMINISTRATION, i.e. DEATH = LEAVING THE WH AFTER 2008 ELEX. Radical islam as represented by IRAN is facing certain defeat, containment, isolation, and implosion unless something occurs to cause the USA to dump everything and leave the ME. Moud may already be aware the Dems are CYA'ing-Hedging, getting ready to PC sacrifice him to the four winds iff necessary in order to salvage their own political positions ala 2008 + beyond back in Washington. MOVE ALONG BOYZ - NO POLITIXIAL "POSTURING" HERE, as PICARD told the Romulans.

#6  A somewhat literal interpretation of the destruction of Damascus: Syria: The Destruction of Old Damascus

Isaiah 17:1 -
This message came to me concerning Damascus:

“Look, the city of Damascus will disappear!
It will become a heap of ruins.
(New Living Translation)

It may already apply; and if bulldozers plow it under, it's really, really done.

#5  They said the same thing about Saddam in GWI. Saddam dared to fire missiles into Israel, but didn't dare put chemical weapons on them. I think the same comes with Syria. They want you to know they have them. They want you to think they will use them. But when zero-hour comes, they won't have the guts, or stupidity to use them since they know Israel's follow up will erase any hope of a country to continue ruling.

#4  One single release of such a chemical agent would wholly justify a nuclear response by Israel or any other Western nation. Such weapons represent a threat only to Syria itself and no one else.

#2  Someone with some actual knowledge on this please correct me with all the harshness necessary, but isn't the destruction of damascus (through atomic fire, one presumes) written somewhere in the biblical prophecies? Seems syria is doing its best to follow the Divine script, that's very nice of them.
