#2 The good thing about an invasion of Syria is that there is nowhere left to evacuate the WMD to.

#3 Just coincidence. Syria working hard on CBW and Iran working double time on nuclear. Just coincidence......right Mr. Kerry?

#6 Frank---I imagine that we all have Lat-Long for Syrian installations. The question is what do we and/or the Israelis need to do and when. This Syria and Iran thing is getting to a head, and the EUniks will puff but will sit on the sidelines, grandstand, let us do the heavy lifting, and criticize our performance. We should be working together, but we are where we are.

#7 I do not see why Israel should even blanch at going in and bombing the crap out of these sites. Syria has in as much admitted that they are going the bio-chem weapons route. Israel will be their first point-of-use, by proxy through Hamas. Don't wait for the fatalities to mount up, saddle up and bounce the rubble for good measure. Give them what they deserve. It would only be fitting after the recent charade of Lebanon's ~~rigged~~ elections. Syria has no good intentions, why should Israel pretend otherwise?

#8 Maybe by Thanksgiving. Something tells me Sharon is not one of the foreign leaders endorsing Kerry. He'll be a good fellow till after the returns are final.

#9 Thanksgiving may be too late. The production cycle for biological warfare agents is incredibly shorter than for nuclear devices. Think of how long it takes to brew beer. By Thanksgiving these sites could have churned out enough anthrax or botulinum to attack millions and poison untold thousands of people.

At some point, maybe after another half-dozen Beslans, the diplomatic prinking about is going to cease and there will be direct international repercussions for overt WMD buildups by terrorist sponsors. If Iran has not demonstrated this with the utmost clarity, we are all lost.

#10 I share your concerns about timing, but the Israelis are realists (under Sharon) and will not allow the use of CBW by the Syrians, guaranteed. By any means possible, this will not happen
