#1 Someone should tell them that there's a big difference between shooting defenseless civilians and the IDF

#2 I wish he would attack Israel, its like kicking a bear because your annoyed at your family. It won't take care of the problem at home, but at least for a short while it will shift the attention away from the real problem.

#3 Plus, the bear could eat the kicker and remove a source of irritation for the family back home!

#4 Could get messy.

On the one hand, Syrians have a long history of getting their butts kicked by IDF. And presumably, according to this article, Pencilneck would be facing a US/EU supported internal insurrection while attempting to fight Israelis.

But now he has Hezbollah and Hamas who could provide serious distractions and the Mad Mullah looms in the background as a wild card.

Somebody could get nuked.

And so along comes O'Bummer, who hasn't a clue what he's doing and whose loyalties in such matters are unclear...

Debka may not be the most reliable source of information but you can get just as paranoid as you want from reading it.

#5 Should think the possibility is an inducement for Obama & Co.

#8 The Syrian president is examining two strategic options, he said: "Going to war against Israel, and/or sending weapons shipments to the West Bank and to Israeli Arabs for use in terrorist attacks against Israel.

What he really meant to say was the CONTINUATION of two options..... etc.
