Hey Obama is criticized no matter what he does. We are not going to be drug into every blood feud that crops up in the Mideast. Let them learn to loath war so when this one is over they will not let some radical start a new one. America has supplied Israel with every weapon system they ever wanted. We have more or less looked the other way as you have developed one of the worlds largest nuclear arsenals. When you need us most we will be there. Until then let us choose our battles, rest and refit from 12 years of constant war. Remember we have taken Sadam, Kadafhi and Bin Laden out of the picture. You only have Iran and Russia to worry about. Israel can handle the other two bit actors in the area. What would be funny is if the Syrians were to shoot one of Russia's ships by mistake. Putin is a nationalistic bastard much like Netanyahu. We will not be told what to do by either. Thank you President Obama.

You seem to forget that Israël attacked Syria first, the recent attacks were unprovoked. Assad has to deal with a rebellion and didnt attack Israël. You are totally under AIPAC influence and Israël is leading you to more conflicts...

Turkey, not Israel or the USA. Isaiah 17:1 and Jeremiah 49:23-27 predict the destruciton of Damascus. Israel's territories will be greatly expanded because Jeremiah ch. 49 also says YHWH will set His throne in Elyam. Elam or Elyam are names for Western Iran.

Not if his country occupied another, Israel occupied palestine until palestine is free , Israel will meet resistance, im sure ur country would do the same if it was occupied

undoubtedly lavrov is a smart diplomat. however, even he misses the logical contradiction in complaining about us deployment of missile defence while russia sells syria the s-300 anti-aircraft, anti-missile weapon system. russia knows full well that the s-300 would change the balance of power in the region and in particular would harm Israel, even if israel has no enmity with russia. russia is trying to punish obama through israel, which is not only unfair, but contrary to lavrove's own stated diplomatic goals.

and Jerusalem and somehow Gaza still exists. Hezbollah lobbed missiles at Haifa and all of Northern Israel and somehow it still exists. Syria is supposed to be scared, why??????

When was there EVER the country of Palestine. You cannot occupy something that never existed. Why weren't you screaming for a country when the W.Bank was part of Jordan and Gaza was in Egypt?

still exists?!!! YES, you wishful thinking nincompoops! Haven't you understood yet, that in our collective FEAR for "what the World will think of us" we will not retaliate in earnest until there's a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv? It is a peculiar Jewish affliction bred by thousands of years of living by the grace of "others". Some will say "Grace of God" not realizing how lousy THAT sounds. A real "grace" that has been!!

How about pondering that just two years ago all of the Left, including Yehimovitch, Livni, Barak and Lapid, as well as Israel's "friend" Obama were demanding that Israel give Assad launch sites on the Golan, and they are still demanding that Israel give Iran launch sites in Judea and Samaria.

Even if there wasnt a country called palestine there were still people living here when the zionist movement showed up and before them the british and before them the turkish. Arabs/palestinians were here through it all

Russia seems like its been playing a clever game of punishing Israel, after all it's best and brightest left for the promised land, and they seem to enjoy giving muslim countries false hope, like selling defective tanks, missiles, anything that is not up to par, to them to inflate their ego and embolden them on the road to failure. And unprepared in case of chemical attack? Let us see a any arab nation have a gas make for every citizen in every home across the country. Please don't insult us, we are prepared, we are strong, we are the only true democracy in the middle east. And we will not falter or lose our fighting spirit to protect the Holy Land for all who live here.

In 1973 The military intelligence knew war was coming they just didn't know the exact date and they told Golda but she did not listen. King Hussain secretly flew to Israel told her that Nasser had asked him to join him and Assad in another war but again Golda would not listen and it wasn't because she didn't believe them all it was because she wanted Israel to come out of any war looking the victim rather than the aggressor as we did in 1967. Result is many more soldiers died than needed and we nearly lost. In 1967 we took a pre emptive strike and destroyed the arab weapons whilst they were still on the ground and the result was minimum casualties maximum victory. Obama has spent the past 4 years talking to Iran doing nothing whilst they improve their offensive and defensive weapons. He has threatened Assad with red lines and he has allowed him to cross them many times now but he still thinks a diplomatic solution is achievable and the result is the US looks like a paper tiger. Israel is inline of those missiles so we cannot afford to be paper tigers and we must not do another Golda and decide to wait for Assad to strike first so we look like a victim when we retaliate. We must preempt now and destroy those missiles before they get used. We must not wait for him to strike first especially considering there is a risk of him using WMDS. We must either go it alone or try form an alliance with Turkey and destroy Assad's missiles and chemical weapons so Bibi stop sitting around on your backside whilst Obama gets played for a fool in his attempt to use diplomacy.

The sunni militants have literally shot themselves in the foot and now look to be the more dangerous alternative. Assad needs to keep up the rhetoric against Israel, but wants to keep up his momentum against the opposition without drawing in Israel and the west.. That would also include stopping the transfer of weapon systems to Hezbollah

So far Israel has done nothing at all to hurt Assad or his military all we have done is destroy arms convoys headed for Hezbollah. Why does Assad need to retaliate if we have not attacked him? Also there is the little manner of the fact Assad has these missiles and is willing to use them against Israel. Why don't you go to the funeral of the first Israeli killed by one of Assads missiles tell them what you have written here. Tell me if you were living in Tel Aviv would you still feel the same way?

Al, are you out of our mind? The genocidal leadership of Syria has murdered tens of thousands of Syrians, and you are worrried about the Syrian leadership having the right to defend itself from Israel? Furthermore, Israel attacked Syrian military targets. The Syrians are threatening to attack Israeli civilians. Such an act would be a war crime. Now Al, take a hard look in the mirror. What the heck is wrong with you?

Level every government building in Damascus and every dam in the nation.

We are the one attacking a sovereign state. They did not attack us. Do we expect them not to protect or defend themselves? What if it were another country that "preemptively", because of their own calculus, hit our missiles or depots or bases? Are we going to fight back or not??? We need to be very careful here or else there will be serious blowback that we will not be able to contain.

THE MAD BUTCHER ASSAD MUST BE PUT DOWN MOW !

A weakened and broken Syria is guarnateed for at least a couple of more decades. This tribal clan warfare is not going to stop until one side completely decimates the other. It looks like the Sunnis will eventually overtake the Alawis and Shia. We should not let ourselves get sucked into this Islamic civil war. We should reinforce our borders with Syria and Lebanon, we should intercept game changing weapons transfers while they are on route to their destination. We should always have proof either photos or video of the weapons.

obummer is an incompetent, unqualified lying moron and should go. The most dishonest president ever, he was elected by the dumb electorate, blacks,hispanics, liberal jews, unions, and racist liberals and the US needs to take our government back. Next ,bomb iran into the 5th century, no men on the ground. Invest billions on bombs and destroy their major cities and nuclear locations. When the head of the racist ,terrorist,muslim countrues dies, the racist muslims will get the message, tread on us and you will disappear. Enougn playing with the most racist people since the nazi's.Again, no men on the ground, We should do to iran what we did to the japanese but 1000 fold. Use all our armaments that we invested billions on. May Israel and the US destroy these barbarians.

assigns right/wrong to any actions taken by countries, while in real life it's only balance of terror/financial gain that guides the actions of nations. The rest is something that's being taught at kindergartens & Universities of leftist persuasion.

Israel has already demonstrated that it can penetrate Syrian defenses. Israel's retribution for attempted attacks on its cities will be fierce. But the rebels should take no comfort following attacks on Assad's military assets. For if they threaten Israel, they will get similar treatment.

-al out preemtive strike ?. I Quote - An Israeli official told The New York Times that Israel, which has launched three recent attacks on Syria, was considering further strikes and warned President Bashar Assad that his government would face "crippling consequences" if he hit back at Israel. Comment - Dont give the Syrians the Chanse to hit back - Preemtive !. Arn.Sweden.

can it shoot down 10 or 50, while 1000's of not so expenive missiles mix with them? And what does an Arrow cost? $1000 or $100,000 or more? Good luck, oh ya, then there Hez and Hamas and all the other missile people Israel pisses on daily, maybe its to late for peace?

During all that time and even before that time there were Jews there also.

research Arab sources it becomes pretty clear that nothing is clear in the ME. Syria is a horrifying example of this.

We need to stop transfers of weapons from syria to hesbolla at any means, even if we give chance to assad to portrey himself as a hero. Assad retoric: you see now who the real enemy is? Israel of corse, and we stand at the frontline of holy jihad. Who is suporting the rebels: Israel of corse so you can see now the reality of things. We dont just talk like others do, we aymed missils to tel aviv, we are the righteous muslems. Usa rethoric: we dont want to repeat past mitAkes, we Will step aside and see what happen. Russia rhetoric: the last naval base we have in the mediterranian stands in syria, we need to support assad to mantain geopolitical balance in the region. Swizerland policy: no mater what happen or wich side your fighting for, we'll keep your money safe...

Let Islam do their tactics, and the Jews will do their tactics,and then we will see who will win, and who will cry to the all world ISRAEL USING EXCESSIVE FORCE to our asses.

I would not be surprised if that lunatic Sarah B declares that she would nuke every body when she become Prime Minister...lol
