Great.
Another triumph for Hillary’s and Obama’s statesmanship.
Our target should be Iran, not Syria. Syria is small potatoes compared to the lunatics in Tehran.
All the pieces are being put in place for the inevitable coordinated attack on Israel by the Arab/Muzz, and they know the time to strike is soon, while The Obastard is still in office. After January, 2013, it may be too late for them to strike without some serious repurcussions.
You misunderstand the problem. Iran is the only problem. Syria, hezbollah and hamas are Iranian surrogates. These are the only danger.
Iran is seeking to insure Syria is not lost. If Syria goes, so does Hezbollah and Hamas

bump.
I don’t “misunderstand” the problem at all: If you think Iran is the ONLY problem (and you must, because that was the premise of your comment), than, sir, I suggest to you that you are the one who is missing the mark. Israel faces an existential threat, and to conclude that that threat is ONLY from Iran is, quite frankly, naive.
