assad knows that any attack on israel will elicit a devastating response from the jewish state. such response could lead to the toppling of his regime.

little emperor obama has been leaking Israel's national security secrets since he was elected. obama is an immature, vindictive individual who wants to impose his will on the sovereign jewish state. obama needs to realize that israel has been in existence longer than he has been alive. Israel will continue to pursue and defend her own national security despite of obama's wishes.

He drew a mustache on a picture of Netanyahu whilst sitting on the throne.

Perhaps Israel needs to carefully examine how much information it gives to the U.S. It's evident that too much is being leaked. Look at what happened with Turkey.

does Israel want this out and if not who does and for what purpose?There's so much B.S. put out today that you don't know who and what to believe.

Assad wouldnt dare do anything against Israel, he is in a bad position, cant afford to. He needs Obamacare! Wish they would get him out of the White House...carisma and his wifes carisma doesnt make for a good leader.

And why does he or the US keep divulging that it is Israel behind these attacks? I realize it's a logical conclusion regardless but why make it so clear?

US aircraft dares not enter Syrian airspace, SA-8 is bait. That's the reason that B. Hussein is afraid of punishing Assad for the chemical attacks.

maybe so the israelis understand clearly why they are attacked in the future?

The Buddhist Burmese have every right to go after them before Muslims swamp their country with Quranic Apartheid.

Because we are so loved by Obama!

The SA8 missiles that the Israeli planes attacked are DEFENSIVE missiles. The only time Israel would encounter them is if they were ATTACKING Lebanon or Syria. So, where is the outrage? Where are the level-headed Jews in Israel and the U.S., pointing out that if you don't attack other countries, you have no problem with these missiles, since you won't encounter them, and trying to destroy them is hypocritical. Israel claims the "right to defend itself" constantly. yet they want to deny this same right to adjacent countries. Feh.....!

yeah, sure. dream on.

.... is that Israel should not share its intentions with the United States. The American administration is hostile to Israeli interests. But do you know what the key nugget of information to take away from this whole episode is? I will tell you. One-half of the Russian Navy is berthed off Latakia. They never saw Israel coming. Tee hee. So much for Russian "prowess."

Bravo BB. We have to make up for all the troubles that this bastard and his father have caused Israel. Each time hit him harder, he is helpless.

The I.A.F do not intend ,or want to enter Syrian air space. They can do it all with Smart, and i mean very Smart long range missiles that the Syrians can only dream about its called armchair warfare.

Of course Syria cannot and will not respond to the bombing but the real question is what will the bear do. There tons of very very bad things they can do in secret and do a lot of damage. Gas off shore is one thing

Complaining about a leak is naive. Surely you don't think that the Syrians along with Russian naval officers and base needed a US leak to know who fired the missiles?

" On Thursday a source within the US administration confirmed that it was the IAF that attacked a military base near the Syrian coastal city of Latakia, targeting missiles and arms suspected to have been intended for Hezbollah " the correct word is intentionally leaked or maliciously leaked or irresponsibly leaked.
