And who believes the General died from 'natural causes'?????

Mr. the wimp Assad !

Rivkah   (08.09.11)
ELS Torah code in a matrix of an attack on Israel. The words in the matrix are "atomic holocaust on Av 9, poison, armageddone, Assad, holocaust, army USA, world war, in the end of days, Israel, code will rescue, Ramallah, Egypt, Libya." Let's hope the dead general was the culprit in pushing Assad toward that awful war and that it has been delayed or averted by his death. But if the general was the one who was against the attack, Av 9 is not over in5771 and there is Av 9 in another year this could happen. There are ten hours left to Av 9 in 5771. FAST AND PRAY for peace in Jerusalem.
5. why not?
Salma ,   Palestine   (08.09.11)
Gen. Ali Habib may have died of heart attack. It's not that simple for an Arab official to be removed from his post. it is, indeed, naive to assume that Bashar al-Assad is the killer, he is crazy but not to the extent that he'd look STUPID.

Rivkah   (08.09.11)
Naval Operations who "shot" himself four times in the chest ouside his home at the Washington Navy Yard after refusing to allow Red Chinese military into every aspect of U.S. naval operations as ordered to do so by President Bill Clinton. Let it be remembered that the only Jewish C.N.O. in U.S. Navy history was a hero and he did not kill himself. It is unlikely this Syrian General killed himself, either. What did he refuse to do that Assad had to eliiminate him from office and from this earth? Did he refuse to attack Israel? Av 9 is a day in the ELS Torah codes for an attack on Israel in the latter days. Did this Syrian General like General Naaman of Scriptures, stand with YHWH instead of Allah and Assad?

peace is also needed between the ahrabs! end! maybe salma has some good advice for her fellow people.
11. Deterioration in health?
Yitzhak ,   Israel   (08.09.11)
That is one way to describe an execution or a suicide!

I believe the condition is sometimes called "Lead Poisoning."

david` ,   new york   (08.09.11)
are you on assad's payroll?? is any human being who actually has brain cells in his head supposed to believe that the syrian defense minister suddenly got bad health and died 1 day after he was fired?? does anyone actually doubt that assad would kill anyone who disagrees with him? after the thousands he already murdered in cold blood?
16. #6 no, this was a murderous, evil man
Zvi   (08.09.11)
You don't get to be a general in a Baathist army without being a serious thug. Whether he was having second thoughts or not, it's clear that he fell from his high place in the Syrian regime, and when that happened, he fell all the way.
17. i guess they are gonna say that he too commit suicide!
ace ,   san fran   (08.09.11)
all who does NOT agree with the syrian regiem usually end up "commiting suicide"... we saw that with ghazi kanaan who commit suicide by blowwing up himself in the head with 3 -- three-- bullets ! Aint that BULL ??!!
18. Reminiscent of Field Marshal Rommel
BEN JABO ,   ISRAELRemind   (08.09.11)
He fell into disfavor with Hitler, They gave him a pistol with one bullet, He had a choice, to kill himself or to see his entire family eliminated
19. Defense minister retired mafia style
Abu fehmi ,   Syria   (08.09.11)
The retirement plan in my country of syria is the mafia style plan,,,,_ you retire and die next day
20. This reminds me ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.09.11)
... of Jimmy Breslin's "The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight." He's got a line in there about a mob boss -- "He died of natural causes. His heart stopped beating when someone pumped five bullets into it." About Assad ..... what is it that makes dictators who never served a single day in the military wear uniforms?
21. Did Assad gain his military decorations in ophtalmology ?
Joe ,   Canada   (08.09.11)
Or is the number of his decorations bigger than that of the two generals in the picture because he was rewarded for more killings than the each officer considered alone?
22. #8 lol
Salma ,   Palestine   (08.09.11)
don't worry, I can carry two watermelons in one hand ;P
23. Assad's medals
Dr Jack ,   Canada   (08.09.11)
I looked at the picture and Assad's uniform is covered with ribbons from bravery medals. Many of them! Can anyone help? Which war did Assad fought in win, and won?? Perhaps Assad gets a medal each time he goes to the washroom without soiling his pants!
24. Nr 4 and 6.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (08.09.11)
Why do you citate this Jerkish ELS code of Witchcraft all the time, it has nothing with GOD HASHEM TO DO. Syria will not attack Israel during the WorldWar and Harmageddon to come, but will then go to destruction at the hand of Gog and Magog. However, Syria may attack Israel if this Civil unrest in Israel will make the Israeli Government to fall. Further - Why fast and pray for Peace in Jerusalem When HASHEM has said someting else - Zechariah 14 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished. And half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3Then shall the LORD go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle. 4And His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, Stop citating this code of Witchcraft, it is leadeing peopla astray. Every utterance of Spirituall speach or Writing must allways be Compared to and Ruled by the WORD of HASHEM Arn.Sweden.

BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (08.09.11)
The Civil unrest in Israel, is exactly that, Civil, no blood being shed as it is in Syria, Libyra, Egypt or the rest of that sorry lot The Government, if it falls, will fall by the ballot, not the bullet, as happens in the Arab countries
26. #21..Joe
Malone ,   Hfx   (08.09.11)
I was wondering the same thing myself...all these dictators have lots of ribbons/medals and never saw the battlefield.
27.  Nr 25.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (08.09.11)
The civil unrest in Israel may make the Government fall apart, and certain members of it, Certain partys, to leave the Government. This Government could be ousted and fall as an effect from the Protesters in the streets, just because it is an Democratic one. You dont need Bullets to that. May HASHEN bless Israel !. Arn-Sweden.
