2. Tragic Consequences?
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (09.11.07)
Let's hope so. But we need to make sure the tragic consequences are for Syria by launching a preemptive military strike & destroying the Syrian state. We need to completely cripple Syria & leave it in ruins - no pinpoint operations, no limited objectives, no ceasefire - until we have finished the job. Then, we will have peace with what is left of Syria. You only get peace by destroying your enemies. The same goes for Iran, Hezbollah, & the Palestinians.
3. Assad Jnr Keep quiet
(09.11.07)
What your father could not do. Just let the sleeping dog ...
4. Assad has played it well
(09.11.07)
let Israel gain "deterrence" while Syria gets the international ground. Just think of ground as materialistic!
5. Alledged Incident
Stanley Eliasov ,   JHB RSA   (09.11.07)
So far there is no proof that this alledged incident ever took place. If surveilance video footage of Syria providing arms to hizbolla is not sufficient proof of this act of supporting terrorists - then how much weight does a couple of unmarked drop tanks hold as "evidence" ?
6. #2 and tragic consequences
English guy ,   London   (09.11.07)
What a short sighted piece of downright hatred you wrote: "we need to ... destroy the Syrian state... compeltely cripple Syria and leave it in ruins..." Why? What's your problem? What is it in your personal psychology that will only make you happy when you can dance on the smoking ruins of your neighbour? Not to mention that your repeatedly expressed wishes would mean the deaths of hundreds of thousands of your neighbours? Is your hatred for non-Jews so great that, Nazi-like, you can only be happy when they are "finally solved" by death and destruction. Moreover, do you think, after Israel launches an unprovoked and murderous aggression against its neighbour that the world will stand by and applaud you for the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocents and the destruction of a culture? Whatever happened to you during your youth in Morocco has obviously turned you into a murderous psychopath with no shame.
7. response to Terry (post 2)
Ari ,   Jerusalem   (09.11.07)
It’s all nice and dandy but are you expecting a zero reaction? Or are we going to enjoy 15 days of fake victory and another 30 years of terror? In Israel we are at a disadvantage because while we can win the tactical war we will never win a war entirely, sooner or later we will pay a price and it shows now a days that we are still fighting in war that started pre 1948 and it’s still going to date and I do not see an end in sight, or do you? So while it sounds ridiculous and outrageous for many in Israel to give back lands from Judea and Samaria back to the Arabs but I am beginning to believe that its one of the few remaining possibilities for us to live in peace at this region of the world!
8. TOO OPTIMISTIC.......TERRY!! #2
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (09.11.07)
Overflight into Syrian airspace may have emboldened you to some extent.................but refrain from taking too much for granted,Terry.You may be in for surprises in the coming months should too much of adventurism take place.
9. #5 Assad would not talk, unless he has a Russian video
(09.11.07)
Hurry, Quick! Bush can convince Putin to withdraw the surveillance video in return for freezing the American anti-missile system in Poland.
10. #6 hatred, for his fellow Arabs, he wrote?
(09.11.07)
he is just a Mizrachi Moroccan Arab Zionist Jew kidding the Syrians.
11. think otherwise
Rimon ,   Palestine   (09.11.07)
just think about it this way, what happens if this was the Syrians overflight?. then we will hear Israel has the right to defend itself BS...etc. come on, it is time for Israeli and US arrogance and BS to stop. just think, whatever goes up must come down.
12. #10 = agreed
English guy ,   London   (09.11.07)
but you forgot to add that he is also a schmuck of the the highest degree and a pathologically racist piece of Mizrachi drek who only ever expresses murderous intentions and a desire to see a million Arabs incinerated. What a disgusting little snivelling bigot.
13. #6 forgets his facts again!!!
DR ,   Florida, USA   (09.11.07)
I'm sorry, but isn't Syria one of the countries that suports Hezballah ? This means that they support the destruction of Israel from the West Bank to the sea, right? Oh but you conveniently forgot to mention that little tid-bit. Look, the world is not stupid, unlike you. We understand that Syria,Iran, Hezballah and Hamas all want the same thing...Israel gone! This will never happen and Israel will always defend herself, regardless of what the US says or thinks. This is a right that cannot be taken away, especially not by lying, moronic people like yourself.
14. Assad has succeeded in detouring Israel's deterrenceِ
(09.11.07)
15. The Muslim talkbackers here sound worried!
freejay ,   Israel   (09.11.07)
16. Again, antisemitic guy hits bottom - digs.
Chatich   (09.11.07)
While Terry's post indeed comes off a bit harsh (ignoring for a minute the fact that our annihilation is and always has been the arabs' ultimate goal), in the realm of bigoted shortsightedness, pathalogical racism and downright raw hatred, he does not even hold a candle to you, antisemitic rustum guy. When it comes to unbridled, blind, rabid hate, you sir, have no peer on this forum. Congratulations.
17. he wrote....
another english guy ,   London   (09.11.07)
sounds like the british empire on the verge of their collapse only a short history ago, anyhow from another english guy to an english guy perhaps the uk should have pulled out of iraq sooner and all those marsh arabs can go about their business in perfect peace with the feyadeen.next stop afghanistan and its 1,2,3 what are we fighting for, frankly i dont give a dam , next stop is pakistan, where the cap fits where it otherwise understand if you beat a dog for too long it either dies or bites you.
18. lets add some archeology for Syria
Zach ,   Zimbabwe   (09.11.07)
19. #9..Russian video
Paul ,   Concord, USA   (09.11.07)
russia won't share any video.they are too ashamed of the performance of their AA weapons..Quote from Syrian ambassador"Israeli jets were detected "deep in Syrian airspace" which is PC language for "we didn't even see them until they broke supersonic speed"
20. HARDLY SO,FREEJAY................#15
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (09.11.07)
No need for you to observe non existence feeling.I bet the last years Hizbullah's reaction to the IDF advances and the present Gaza residence resolve will probably worry others,Freejay.
21. #11 And if you muslims keep sowing hate you will keep reap-
ing a harvest of ,   hate.!!!!!!!!!!!   (09.11.07)
22. #16 Stalinist garbage
English guy ,   London   (09.11.07)
Your pathetic attempts to slander me always fall flat, Mr Mekhoar. Let's see: #2 suggests flattening all of Syria I suggest that this is harsh. You come up with the appelation "anti-semite". There is absolutely no connection whatsoever. In fact, and I will repeat it, it is people like the author of #2 who will cause the deaths of many Israelis by his/her utterly foolish and murderous desires to see the death and annihilation of millions of Arabs. On the contrary, my feelings are that people should stop killing each other - it's just that some of you pathologically bigotted Zionists believe too much in that old cliché hashkem lehorgo which is a self-serving piece of crappola. If you want to preserve life and limb, then I suggest you take the peaceful route. No doubt you are going to twist my words and, like the good old 1984 book, you will come out with your meaningless slogans such as "peace = war".
23. Pitty Assad the boy who wishes he was a man
zionist forver   (09.11.07)
He dreams about being more than the pathetic childish arab dictaitor that that he is. Poor little Assad wants to sound presidential and be the hard man his father was but the fact is little Assad doesnt have what it takes to be a president. He doesnt have the courage to be a man and take on Israel as he keeps threatening instead he gets terrorists to fight hius battles and make Lebanon the war zone. Now the poor little boy is upset that Israel flew into Syria and dropped a couple of fuel pods on the way out he wants some attention but his Iranian masters are sayting nothing, his arab brothers are saying nonthing and for a change the west has been saying nothing so naturaly he is feeling unloved. Now he is complaining to the UN and talking about tragic consequences because nobody is listening.
24. If you have bought a gun, fire it.
Damir ,   Russia   (09.11.07)
But if you can't aim properly don't buy it at all.
25. #6 English Guy
Bob ,   U S A   (09.11.07)
You sound like wimp, if you know what that is and you don't sound much like an english guy. The Arabs only understand one thing, total defeat nothing left, if there's one building left, they think they won. The only thing the Arabs learn in the last 50 years, how to run there mouth.
26. With leadership ...
Abel Shoni ,   France   (09.11.07)
"Let us reason together, face the facts, invent the solutions and mobilize the resources for victory. With leadership, it will be the terrorists who are defeated and the free people who are triumphant. With leadership, the free people of the world will form an unshakable alliance against evil and an enormous system in defense of the innocent. It is in the best American tradition that we have the courage at home that we expect on the battlefield. There is no shortcut. This is the road to victory over evil. This is the road to safety, freedom and prosperity for the civilized world." Newt Gingrich Have we forgotten 09/11/2001 ? I personally have not.
27. #6, worked for Hizbullah
Danny   (09.11.07)
They carried out a murderous, unprovoked aggression six times last year. I must have missed the world rallying behind Israel.... Wierd when Ahmadenejad makes comments about the destruction of the Israeli "regime", he is not be pyschopathic, he is being "metaphorical". When Hamas or Hizbollah make the same claims, they are being "Nazi like". I guess that moral outrage only works one way.
28. #13 did he ever get a fact right?
Danny   (09.11.07)
29. Terror supporter visits Syria
JUNGLEBUGGER ,   LUMBERTON, USA   (09.12.07)
Is it not ironic that, while Syria actively supports attacks against Israel and US troops in Iraq, US presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich visits Damascus and kisses Assad's ass? I am sick and tired of these ultra leftists kow-towing to every socialist and Islamic dictator in the world.
30. Syria
Ernie Drake ,   El Centro, CA USA   (09.12.07)
I wouldn't worry about any threat Syria makes...They are barely capable of defending their own country let alone mount any offensive other than through their terrorist proxies.
