We couldn't do that it might upset Assad and he might refuse to hold direct talks with Olmert. That would mean that Olmert couldn't give him the Golan for nothing and receive the Nobel Peace Prize have the left in Israel and the west call him the hero willing to make painful sacrifices. His chances of getting a deal on paper with Abbas before he leaves office are pretty much finished now he has just dropped bombs in Gaza now he needs more than ever a deal with Assad if he wants his place in history. At the soonest possible moment watch him put all his efforts into chasing Assad around and get down on his hands & knees and beg Assad to take the Golan off our hands and Assad can lay down all the terms and we will accept.

stop fighting the proxies. start fighting the real enemy. to kill the cancer you don't just cut away at the edges, you remove the whole thing.

From the looks of his picture he has been well fattened up. 250 lbs. at least. Tough life in Damascus.

Based on theWorld War II experience, “absolute victory” has come to mean vanquishing the enemy – not merely defeating its army and effecting regime change, but forcing its acceptance that the vision that led to its aggression and the system that sustained it were at the end. Victory is needed to prove to the Muslims in general and the Arabs in particular that against their ethos of death stands the ethos of life, protected by the arms of democracies that are resolved to punish them where it hurts most as explained at : http://xrl.us/biz8x

As he sits comfortably in Damascus, he directs the peons back home to launch a new intifada. He doesn't care if an on-going conflict with Israel destroys life for the Palestinians. This is the same bad advice Arafat gave the Palestinians.

And please stop all this B.S. and bravado. You look like 2 " guignols "with the strings pulled by your master, Ahmadino EL GRANDE. Stay hidden in your rat-holes a la Saddam Hussein. Your end will eventually be the same. For the time being, just tell us your virgins/whores requirements for the next 6 months, and we will see what we can do.....!

the man passed through a dead land and said i think this land would not be vital .then he was dead for 100 years and awake to see how the land became . so to meshaal intifada was done by the people natural response not by aske or order or arragment . and to one the first intifada was a symbol the second intifada was a test the third one ..... wait and see sure israil failed the test as the security is worse and peace negotiation is trick .the most important that palastinians and israili live with each other no way for the power to solve this conflect

He did not say "launch a third intafada". What he said was that: "This was third time the IDF interfered with his lunch".
