Government forces have fired at least a half-dozen short-range ballistic missiles at rebel groups in northern Syria over the past several days, according to U.S. officials, a potentially significant escalation of a civil war that has killed more than 40,000 people. U.S. officials and the group Human Rights Watch also alleged Wednesday that Syrian government forces are dropping incendiary devices similar to napalm weapons on rebel fighters in populated areas. The officials described the tactics as acts of desperation as rebels gain momentum in the nearly two-year-old fight to oust President Bashar al-Assad.

When fired at Jews in Israel, they are called SCUDS. When at friends of Obamsky, they are "Short Range Ballistic Missiles"...

...a potentially significant escalation of a civil war...

What is the ideal level of war? Stupid liberals couldn't tell you that any more than they can tell you the ideal global temperature.
