#3 "There are a lot of research and military facilities there that are tied into the command and control structure of the regime."

#4 The Bekaa Valley is *not* adjacent to the Alawi heartland, Mount Lebanon and the back-country of Tripoli lie in between. That's part of why Homs is so important, and why there's a nasty sub-war that keeps breaking out in Tripoli and environs.

#6 Mitch (#4) - I always like maps, so I google mapped Bekka Valley and with the terrain feature turned on, it looks like Rt. 4 runs from Homs straight down the Bekka Valley. Terrain makes better borders than straight lines drawn by 19th century Englishmen.

#11 D *** NG IT, its just a mere or lowly 50,000 missles to Hamas + Paleo Islamic Jihad - Iran fails to see the problem.
