assad has shown determination, yes with russian help. but he held on nevertheless and showed a lot of grit. more than israelis leaders who shake and quake in their boots-we are surrounded on all sides. even the idf chief sounds the warnings.

how about this-shut up and set out plans to destroy iranian and syrian concentrations within 5-10 miles from the golan. for a start.

and these same worrywarts were the ones who wanted withdrawal from philadelphi route and west bank.
jews chosn- they chose themselves and there is nothing special about bibi olmert livni lapid and herzog.even ehud barak, a noted commando eary in his career did little in the gaza war, and screwed up the marmora operation.

assad has been stronger than any of israeli leaders just mentionned.

while barrel bombing and gassing his own people. Just the person an imbecile like yourself would idolise.

I hope they can take down few more Hezbollah rats before they go to their 72 virgins.

Dreams of empire broken in the sand.
