JERUSALEM • A reported Syrian troop build-up near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights has fuelled speculation in Israel about a future conflict, more than three decades after the two enemies last went to war.
Syrian armed forces appear to be moving closer to the armistice line as Damascus spearheads an unprecendented armaments drive, shrieked Israel’s Haaretz newspaper from its front page yesterday.
“The Syrian armed forces are being strengthened in a way unprecedented in recent memory with the help of generous funding from Iran,” wrote military affairs correspondent Zeev Schiff.

If hostilities do occur, I would hope that the US State Department would have the presence of mind not to interfere and keep Rice at home with her mouth shut.

Rice to the UN. Bolton to State.
To: zimfam007
But a source in the UN force in the Golan Heights charged with monitoring the armistice denied any Syrian troop build-up and lashed out an “alarmist Israeli media that repeatedly brings up the topic”.
The UN is on the side of Syria.
Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!

Rice to the UN. Bolton to State. Sounds like a plan. If only it could be implemented.

"Israeli-occupied" Golan--Thought the Israelis won the land in the 6-day war. So how can it be "occupied"? Smacks of the author siding with the enemy.

With John Bolton's no bulls@it talk and attitude, maybe he should run for office. I kind of like the "Speak softly and carry a big stick" mentality that the US used to have.

A guy like John Bolton only comes along once or twice in a generation. Its a pity he is not in some crucial role right now.
