#1 ...That trickling noise you hear is Boy Assad wetting himself. Wonder if we'll see some kind of 'cooperation' in the next couple days.

#2 Cleaning out Ein el-Hellhole with fuel air explosives would be cheaper, Fred, though the looney left considers them to be a WMD.

#3 I'm sort of ambivelant about this 'proposal'. Part of me says I can't believe some idiot general is telegraphing our moves with this leak and endangering troops. The other part of me says we're probably already doing spooky things in syria and lebanon, and this balloon is just to provide some cover for the ops.

#4 the plan calls for a multi-pronged attack on insurgency strongholds in such countries as Lebanon

As he quickly checks the map. From the mediterranean = one direction - tick!
From Iraq = the other direction - tick!
He notes main road from Iraq to Lebanon goes through Dasmascus - tick!
Yep, makes sense!

#5 Just upping the pressure on the chinless wonder, Assad must be seriously considering doing a Ghadaffi by now.

(#4 Phill_b: LOL )

#6 Assad knows his number is up whether we enter Lebanon seaside or not. That suits me just fine.

And as for operational secrets, they'll be kept safe, I am certain.

I just hope to Christ Rumsfeld will active three more army divisions before we launch into this next offensive phase of the WOT. We need them.

#8 Just another prybar being inserted against the AoE. It is all calculated to keep the pressure on Baby Assad, especially after G'Daffy seems to be caving. We can't cut these guys any slack, esp. while the momentum on our side is building well. I smell geometric progress here if we keep it up. Heh heh.
