The whole issue is stemming from the "Arab Spring" where citizens are expressing their frustration with the governments inability, at this time, to allow decent living for the inhabitants. Now by no means is it only isolated to the "Arab Spring" countries but they are the one's that are protesting and demonstrating. As many Arab countries are involved, it's conceivable that the Arab League, out of concern, may try and work out a solution for this dillema. Face it, it's a very sad situation and not reflecting favorably on the region or for honor to Allah or the Prophets (PBUT). Some kind of an answer ought to be able to be derived even if it comes in the form of a formula. Thoughts and prayers that we're all able to pull out of these drastic times. This requires consideration and the pride of nations, their people and their welfare. There's a day we're to get over this warfare part, hopefully soon. This is too much.

When is somebody going to smack him good and proper. I would like to see his face a little bit more in line with his forehead. He looks rather comical now, don't ya think?

It's blatantly obvious that Assad has been making this threat with the support of Iran since the troubles began in Syria by the way the rest of the World is handling him so carefully in the action they take. He means business and he's not going anywhere and if he looks like he's going down he will launch those missiles without any qualms whatsoever. We are in fragile times and have been for months.

Do Not Give the Golan Heights to ANYONE. EVER. This is a good example of WHY... Israel is Israel. Land for the Jews.

Because CNN, BBC, MSNBC and other so called far left main street media believe that Israel is the problem with most things in this world and if only Israel disappeared all would be well throughout theworld.

Damascus becomes glass. Lovely.

His arrogance offends me. Israel will solve the parking problem in the region of the world by turning alot of it into one giant glass parking lot. God speed......

Israel did fly overs of the Palace not too long ago, just to show Assad that he was defenseless, and he still is. Yes, he and Hezbullah could fire rockets at Israel but they'd soon stop when their cities and infrastructure were being destroyed. Hezbullah is now a part of Lebanon's governing party so Lebanon would not be treated so gently as it was last time around.

i agree why dont these comments make 7pm news, no smut or sluts

Is it finally time for Israel to drop the ambiguity about their nuclear arsenal? I suggest an air burst at about 30,000 ft centered over Damascus!

Once again the Torah oracle of prophecy will come to fruition, sadly.

you have to be more pro-active and stop being a wussy

Don't you people understand that Turkey is a NATO nation? The US and other NATO nations are bound to defend its fellow NATO members. You are talking about WWIII.

He just let his real intentions slip out should Syria ever get any part of Golan from Israel. Seems quite unlikely that will ever happen.

All of you morons that are talking about war so casually have obviously never seen it first hand. When you make eye contact with a mother crying over her little girl's lifeless body, then you can talk about war. Morons.

Assad's remarks could precisely be how Ezekiel 38 & 39 are totally unfolded in mere hours in combination with all the other Bible Prophecies that have been unfolding expoentially in these Last Days and Endtimes throughout the Middle East. As a Bible Scholar and student of Old Testament and New Testament Eschatology for over 35 years now, the geopolitical stage seems to be set for just such a Middle East War as Assad has projected. This isn't just "tough talk" or rhetorical propaganda.

are coming from the Diaspora, outside of Israel. They should make aliyah and help Israel directly.

One must never underestimate an enemy .Syria does have the capability and perhaps the intention of hitting Tel Aviv hard .I live close to Syria ,you don't .

Syria is a dangerous enemy .I have no doubt Israel can crush Syria but Israel lacks the will do to so. Assad means what he has said .

Israel was unable to even soundly defeat rag-tag Hizballah in 2006 so what makes you so certain that beating or crushing Syria would be so easy ,a piece of cake? Israel is not what it once was ,it is now weak and run by big mouth putzes like Barak .

This time if a war breaks out it will be Israel to rush into ceasefire just like during the second Lebanon war. In fact as soon as the casualties threshold has been reached Israel will desist from escalating the situation...

that Hilary Rotten Clinton has just denied Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel...

Good just what we need. An actual war that could possibly be waged within the boundaries of the constitution. That's new. Ahh hek we don't need another worthless sandpit full of backwards ignorant fascists do we? Got a couple those already. I say we sit this one out.

...a country with a long and mixed history that was overseen by a not too btight, foolish, foolish man. He lashed out and attacked his smaller neighbor to the south, hurting and killing many people, and destroying his neighbor's property. That was when the stupid man who ruled that place that USED to be known as Syria and his entire country ceased to be. All of it's water sources, electrical power production plants, it's ports and airports were obliterated and it's capital was blown to teeny tiny particals. And those that remained alive lived UN-happily ever after. And that is tonight's story.

THE STUPID 1974 'DISENGAGEMENT' THAT ISRAEL WAS FORCED TO SIGN BY PRESIDENT NIXON's SELF-HATING JEWISH LAPDOG, HENRY KI$$INGER GAVE BACK NEARLY A THIRD OF THE GOLAN HIGHTS BACK TO THE FORMER A$$AD REGIME. ANOTHER BAD MOVE FOR A COLD COLD HOSTILE BORDER.

...there won't be a Damascus any more. And if Iran attacks US ships, there won't be any Iran after our ICBMs launch.

Can't speak for BBC, but CNN has been "pro-Palestinian" since its inception.

You make me wonder whether or not he's sworn the Hippocratic Oath ....and if so...what a twisted being he is.

......these stupid islamo-fascist arabs, otherwise we would not know what humanity is about. Hey guys dont be angry We really need these idiots, otherwise we would´nt know that we are REALLY BETTER HUMANS. THEY ARE OUR BAD MIRROR !!!!!!
