Assad's threats aren't very credible, but NATO doesn't need to attack Syria anyway. It doesn't need to make another mess in the world.

IF YOU DON'T WANT NATO TO ATTACK, RESIGN; IF NATO ATTACKS, GO AHEAD ATTACK TA; SEE WHAT HAPPENS

Israel is prepared for all scenarios. No nukes will be used. None are necessary....it would be a wasteful overkill. Even during the Olmert and Kadima government, they wiped their Nuke building off the map. This government is better.

Assads threats against NATO, the US and Israel just show how desperate he has become. He has even alienated Erdogan with the killing of thousands of Sunni Muslims in Syria. The US has the power to defend not only itself but it's allies against any aggressor and Israel could easily send Syria and his lunatic allies in Iran and Lebanon back to the stone age!

As another late dictator in Iraq boasted "It will be the mother of all battles"...and we all know how that turned out!

If proof were needed that the Iranian - Syrian sphere of influence was a threat to Middle East and World peace and stability - this it it. When Netanyahu and others say Palestinian state in West Bank and Gaza should be de-militarised, then it should be clear and plain for all to see now! Palestinian state can only arise sensibly arise when there is stable government in the Middle East and surrounding Arab States. Currently the middle east is as far from stability as it has ever been. ie its the worst possible time for a new unstable state/ government to come into being. Any process needs to be brought in gradually and with proper controls . The french/quartet plan of rushing and placing time limits on milestones in this volatile of times is both crazy and irresponsible

What are you talking about? Sria conquered the Golan ,including Mount Hermon and until the ridge of the Golan and the Tap oil pipeline in october 1973 .

Assad does not make idle threats ,you can be sure of that and Israel is not what it was .

Israel would not dare to properly retaliate .Its leaders are too afraid of offending their american masters and of adverse world opinion .Assad has little to fear .

Assad is being used by Iran to provoke Israelis. oooh... I am so scared (NOT) Don't pay attention to the propaganda. This is the Middle East...where such " threats " are like children's taunts. moshe

what a pinhead- he sounds like a scorned woman with all his threats- full of fury and hot air.

This is a golden opportunity to set in motion the partition of Syria into five states. Sunni , Alewite, Christian, Druze and attach the Kurds to Iraqi Kurdistan. This way, Hezbollah in Lebanon will also wither on the vine. it's the best long term stable solution for peace along Israel's northern border. Patience and persistence wins the day.

This clown has his hands full fighting a protest of his own people, armed with rocks and clubs. The minute one truck pulling missiles approaching the GH starts rolling, it will be whacked. Good luck getting of your clowns inside those trucks.

Very much to their peril, I would say. It would be a serious mistake to underestimate Israel's resolve. How long do you think it would take to vaporize Syria, Turkey and anyone else that presents an existential threat to Israel? Not very long. Not very long at all. We can do it; we will do it, should the need arise. But please do understand that there is a new axis of evil -- Iran, Turkey and Syria. The latter two take their marching orders from Teheran. Iran would do well to lay off the rhetoric and the phony announcements about new weapons systems -- although that does have laugh value -- and worry about what will happen to them the instant Israel grows tired of hearing all the sturm und drang.

According to Hilary Rotten Clinton, Assad is a moderate and a reformist. Not sure what an "extremist" could add to what Assad is threatening to do. But fear not, supposedly, the "adults" are in charge in Washington!!!! What a bunch of complete morons, from Obama down.

Once Israel and the U.S. get done with Syria and Iran, NATO can come in and finish the job with a bottle of Windex.

The instant Israel were to decide so, Aleppo becomes our new northern border to the northeast. Make no mistake. But you must realize that, like Erdogan in Turkey, Assad's strings are being pulled in Teheran. Iran must be truly terrified of Israel. For good reason. We can annihilate them, and they know it. Why else do you think the level of rhetoric has been ratcheted up? They think we won't act. They are very, very wrong.

This sociopath physician seems to delight in blood lust. He is slaughtering his own Muslim "brothers" and women and children, like sheep. He threatens to slaughter the Jews of Tel Aviv. This "physician" has to be to worst human to hold an MD degree since Mengele! Rockets on Tel Aviv, Nukes on Damascus. It would be doing the world a favor.

command and control, and missile batteries before they become operational.

The USA will not attack Syria... Not while our islamic president and the Democrats are in charge. Israel watch your back. You have no friend in the current POTUS. American Jewish people wake up!!!

If you want to slit your own throat and that of your country's, go right ahead. This is a tough guy who kills unarmed women and children. Let's see how tough he is when the American and Israeli armed forces come down on his head. Run and hide you jackal!

The bible is 1/3 prophesy and 2/3 of all the bible prophesies have been fullfilled exactly to the letter - Read Isaiah chapter 17 verses 1-6 to see what will soon happen to Damascus!

is glowing in the dark. Damascus, that is.

so you think if we gave the PLO all the land they wanted Asad wouldnt threathen us? and what do we have to do with nato trying to stop him from killing HIS pepole? why does he need to shoot missles at us?

Assad is dillusional. He needs 3-6 hours for a counterattack. The US presence in the Mediterranian needs six minutes to vaporize his insignificant corner of this planet.

New species found in Middle East, called the Desert Chihuahua. Lots of bark, little bite.

G-d has granted much grace & mercy to Israel in the past and much Mercy & Grace in the present. Syria on the other hand has been weighed and measured and found wanting. All of Israels enemies are as toothless lions who roar, roar, roar...yet have no teeth against the almighty Father in Heaven who takes care of his Children.

to Assad's comments should be silence. They stand on their own. Forever a matter of public record they will serve Israel well in the future.

The immortal words of George W Bush apply here I think. I look forward to watching the IDF turn Assad's house inside out, and if you think Iran is going to provoke a world war with USA Israel and inevitably the UK against it, you need a reality check. Iran will throw you to the dogs because all Syria is to Iran is a useful, and disposable idiot.
