#3 Gasp. Bomb the pencil-necked dipwap's palace and the hezzie rocket center. These as*holes are not paying a price for their complicity. What happened to the concept of "If you harbor terrorists.....?"

#5 Is there any fool alive who thinks this will not escalate drawing Syria into the fire soon ?
It's about JDAM time.

#6 It's time for massive attack on Syria. Get UAV's up over these trails. Donkeys move slowly. When spotted get a gunship over them and tear them to shreds. Israel has no gunships, so we need to lend them a couple for a month or so.

#7 I don't know much about this, but it would seem to me that any rocket or launcher moved by a donkey would have to be rather small in size. So if Israel holds a line at the Litani river these additional small rockets are meaningless. I do know about airplanes tho. The Spectre gunship idea sounds good. A couple along the Leb/Syrian border would make their hairs stand on end.

#8 Have we (the US) warned Israel not to bomb targets in Syria, even if as blantantly involved as the Anjar base? Such a warning might be motivated by a US fear that allied Arab governments might fall if the war spreads. If such a warning has been given, Israel they might heed it given the desirability of US resupply.

#9 Turkish markings and big moustachios on the F16's.

Who's gonna know?

#10 Can F-16s grow moustachios as luxuriant as those on Mr. Levant's dreamgirls?

#11 It's most probably wise to have a nice wide buffer zone before attacking poor defenceless pencilnecks.

#12 Bomb Syria. Now.

Works for me, ~~Blofeld~~ mcsegeek1 . The civilized world must begin attaching extremely costly pricetags to any abetting of terrorism.

#13 Not sure TW, but ever seen airplane? The scene where Air Israel is departing with orthodox gear is priceless. I bet it send Levant into a frenzy ;)

#14 Airplane? Oh, yes. It was the only film in English when Mr. Wife was doing the plant start-up in Cairo. He can recite the bloody thing verbatim... and we have to watch it whenever it comes up on the teevee. Thank goodness it's funny!
