The Bekaa valley is a particularly nasty place (although it's in Lebanon, not Syria) - if we have to clean the place out it will be a very dirty job. And I think we'd have to take out Syria first. Israel from the south, Turkey from the north, and us from the east.

Only in my dreams. But then, I said that about Iraq, too.

It's in Lebanon, but controled by the Syrian army and it's various terrorist surragates. It's also the ideal place to test the follow on to the MOAB, plus various fuel air explosives.

Historically, the air space over it has been a great place for a Turkey Shoot. :)

Turkeys loyalties lie with their Arab brethren, and fellow Muslims. They would never help America over them.

But then the Bekaa valley is a cakewalk from the Golon. Golon Heights is the gate way to that valley.

However I do not believe we will invade, I may be wrong, but I think it will become a nuclear war before then.

The USAF has had a recent history of being rather good at blowing the crap out of particulary nasty places.

I concur! Then we could bring the Navy into the fight with their big guns along the shore.

Imagine, the US covering everything east of the Mediterranean Sea. Now that would be impressive, but highly unlikely with how stretched the troops are now.
