1. Loose lips sink ships
Rhonda ,   Chicago, USA   (06.15.13)
I don't understand why so much information is being made public unless there's a strategic value to doing so. It just alerts the enemy to what the plans are so they can get ready.
2. Yeah, yeah, yeah
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.15.13)
Cometh now the United States, looking to take advantage of Israel's superior intelligence. Do it your damned selves, U.S. Israel isn't the target. The United States is. Stop relying on Israel to solve your problems. Go f**k things up the way you usually do. We're staying out of this one, unless and until it compromises Israel's security concerns. Then, we act. Actually, in terms of Syria, we already have. Three times. If you don't want sarin, or botulin toxin, or smallpox, or anthrax released in the United States, take care of it yourselves. Israel is tired of cleaning up American messes. This one's on you. Again, just to make sure you understand: Israel is not the target. The United States is. Make sure the Islamist-pretender-in-chief occupying the White House understands. We've grown tired of fixing American ineptitude and ignorance. Real good luck with this one. Given the current occupant of the White House, you'll need all the luck you can muster. Have fun; and stop looking to us for support. Good luck; this one's all yours.
3. double standards
Matt   (06.15.13)
Look at Georgia Russia occupies two enclaves via proxy. The world says that is Georgia. Except for a few lepers. They have the AL seat, they are acknowledge by a majority not some lepers. As the sovereign rulers of Syrian and representatives of the Syria. Russia supports a different football team. It is the same as Mali, it is a government asking. I am sure once the criminal trial for war crimes is over on your chaps, we may get to the legality of both airstrikes and Georgia.
4. Syrian Rebels serve as PAWNS
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.15.13)
This is exactly what I am talking about. If the rebels get near the chemical weapons they will be blown sky high with the chemical weapons, but in the meantime America, Saudia,and Qatar are arming them... Israel should pay very close attention to how the west uses pawns. We are slated to be used as a pawn for when the west needs another distraction from the financial crisis or an excuse to take over Iran's oil and gas.
5. Because if he doesn't fall he gets to keep them for Israel,?
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.15.13)
6. Anti-tank missiles for the rebels?
David ,   Hartford USA   (06.15.13)
Now who's crazy? Those missiles will be used against Israeli armor before Washington spokesjerk Carney can say, "Well, gosh, we didn't think that would happen!"
7. I don't like this
Simon ,   Burbank, U.S.A.   (06.15.13)
If Assad had used chemical weapons, the evidence would be the thousands dead in the street, it wouldn't take a many month "inquiry" to determine that he in fact had used them. When President Obama declared the use of chemical weapons as a "red line," the understanding was chemical weapons use such as Saddam did against the Kurds. Even if the Syrian army did use some trace elements of chemicals, this doesn't rise to the level warranting U.S. intervention. The United States must keep out of the current iteration of the Sunni-Shia conflict. If they want to kill each other, let them have at it.
8. Wonderful! Great Reporting!
Israelit ,   Israel   (06.15.13)
How about posting the time and date of all planned bombing runs?? Names of the pilots and crew? The public really needs to know, and I'm sure Assad will be more than happy to plan a nice reception.
9. WMDs
Get Real ,   UK   (06.15.13)
So who are the right hands to hold Syria's WMDs, particularly if Assad is deposed?
10. Sarah of #2
Cameron ,   USA   (06.16.13)
Easy there, girl, grab your inner shrew and put her back on the chain. You'll sit tight, and wait for Obama to render a final decision upon this matter. If he decides those sites must be hammered, then Israeli fannies have permission to run for the jets.
11. Some Chemical May Get Through
Zechariah   (06.16.13)
Unfortunately While This is a Good Warning Israel cannot relax its guard for an attack can come from anywhere and Iron Clad security ought apply to Protect Everyone by Shelters and Safe Rooms .
12. Nah. Strictly Israeli Plan
Clara ,   NYC   (06.16.13)
Israel is trying to deceive the world into thinking US is part of their unacceptable plans (bombing chemical weapons sites and exposing millions to death). US has no such plan, no intention to attack Syria, and certainly no intention to put ground forces. Deal with your own problems.
13. Not 'loose lips' pure pressure tactic
Clara ,   NYC   (06.16.13)
US has no such plans. Israel is trying to push such plans down Obama's throat and is using its jewish US media to propagate the asinine plans they have.
14. Oracle of Damascus Chap. 17 Isaiah
Dinah Vernick ,   Philadelphia PA. USA   (06.18.13)
Damascus has NEVER been uninhabited, Yet Isaiah Chapter 17 Says that Syria will "cease" from being a nation and Damascus shall become a "dung heap for camels". We can read this chapter and know what is coming very soon, because it has never happened in past history.
