#1 Umm... I believe some folks here said Olmert was nuts for not taking out Syria's military infrastructure with airstrikes.

"Peacemaker" politicians that reang things in too soon always end up causing unintended consequences. Israel is going to suffer again.

#2 Par for the course, OS. Politicians always cause more work and death for their military.

#3 The official said ~~a cease-fire imposed in August by~~ the United Nations "achieved a political win for Hezbollah."

There, fixed that.

Earlier today, Syria's Foreign Minister, Walid Moallem, said he hopes a Middle East peace process can be launched next year that would include Israel's relinquishing of the Golan Heights to Damascus. But Moallem warned if negotiations don't commence and yeild results within months, there will be a war.

Any handover of the Golan heights will NOT bring about peace. Syria will merely use it as a strategic overlook from which to bombard Israel even more. Whos fooling whom? Israel knows this damn well and that's why theyve never returned the land.

Assad said Israel could attack Syria "at any moment" and that Israeli leaders have abandoned the peace process and are seeking a war.

He certainly got that at any moment part right.

The Baath official told WND Syria learned from Hezbollah's military campaign against Israel that "fighting" is more effective than peace negotiations with regard to gaining territory.

Israel needs to permanently alter that perception this time around.

#4 Is Israel doing anything concrete to prepare? If not, I'm not too inclined to believe this. Eventually, yes, but not so soon.

#5 This is like saying the sun will rise tomorrow. Of course Hezbullah will "continue" with their war with Israel. I'm really done with this. If Israel were to buldoze all of Gaza and Lebanon I would be satisfied.
