That makes a ton of sense. They’re up to their armpits in a rebellion, and they pick a fight with the very capable neighbor next door.

Wow, four whole missiles, loaded with just HE. How many Patriot missiles does Israel have? They can probably salvo four interceptors at each and never miss the inventory...

As General Schwarzkopf pointed out during the Gulf War I, the Scud is a militarily insignificant weapon. It can be devastating to the individuals who are its victims, but it is more a terror or psychological or political weapon, it cannot change the balance of power.

Of course, a successful Scud attack by Syria may impel Israeli leaders, for political reasons, to strike back, but their retaliation is likely to be more militarily significant.

SCUD has a 20 minute warm up / fueling time and generates a loud electromagnetic signature during fuel up. One thing a SCUD is not is a suprise weapon.

20 minutes to an F16 is a long distance, something Syria is not.

To paraphrase Isaiah 17, In the evening there is trouble, by morning its over, and Damascus is a heap of ruins.

Four million people in Damacus. Not a good move Assad.

If I were a madman dictator, I would invite an Israeli ground war and withdraw my forces north, hoping that the rebels would be killed or pushed into my arms. I would then sue for peace as Israel reached my lines.

One thing about these Ayrabs when they make threats they come up with some hum-dingers of threats. Earth shattering, Staggering, Armageddon.

Great rhetoric.

“And the rubble bounced...”

MadMo’s followers seizing defeat from the jaws of certain victory once again.

According to The Jerusalem Post, Israel has been deploying Iron Dome batteries in the North.

More likely Iran will force Syria to strike, with pseudo Russian backing.

Or, should Assad become desparate, and that's not the direction things are going in, he could go down in Islamic history striking the Jews. Might be worth a sermon or two.

Wow Isaiah chapter 17 is one step closer to making Nostradamus the doper and those Mayan peyote eaters look like heathen ba'alists from Jezebel's troupe. Thirty-seven hundred years ago and a prophecy may come true, only was not Isaiah sawn in two by Manasseh not stoned such as the above while fools from Moscow to DC and points in between frame their plans as God laughs

Precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little, there a little. Curiouser and curiouser as evil little prick heathens, high healed dictators and bloody cults are running full speed into one hell of a grand finale.

I hope the prices on popcorn don't go up for awhile, this could be bloody interesting. Everyone is locked in like they've all got hooks in their jaws. But alas, the unicorn, rainbow farting MSM would never consider a book, THE BOOK that has declared the end from the beginning and never once been wrong

Must read Psalm two, no, must memorize every word. Damascus, best take pictures and buy some old National Geo's because, who knows when but it just may be rubble worse than those big old Buddhas the talibunnies bloweded up.
