‘Do you think the Americans will attack us?’ ‘Will the Americans attack us in a joint operation with the Israelis?’

Yes.

Next question?

I’d say our psy-op capability is second to none when focused....(chuckle)

Perhaps we shouldn’t disappoint?

Notice how far away Dayr az-Zawr is from Israel. An F15/16 attack there is not a tiptoe across the border, but a deep, deep penetration of Syrian airspace. And guess what happened with the Russian super-hyper-sophisticated cutting edge antiaircraft missile batteries when that penetration took place on September 6th.
Nothing.
El blanko. Silence. The systems didn't even light up, gave no indication whatever of any detection of enemy aircraft invading Syrian airspace, zip, zero, nada. The Israelis (with a little techie assistance from us) blinded the Russkie antiaircraft systems so completely the Syrians didn't even know they were blinded.

Let's apply Occam's Razor here. Is it more likely that Israel flew F15s and F16s (70s vintage aircraft) deep into Syria *and back* completely undetected, or that we sent some F117s or B2s to do the job, and just gave the IAF credit for it?

Alternately, they may've overflown Jordan, then gone into Iraq where we conveniently didn't notice them, and then flown straight up the Euprates.

Send in the Danish cartoons first to get the idiots out in the streets to increase effectiveness of the initial strike.

Just guessing that we were in on this attack, using stealth technology, and/or that we let the Israeli planes come in through Iraq, not across Syria.

We so need to use Iraq as the jumping off point to neutralize Iran and Syria.

Actually, I doubt the accuracy of this article.

I really doubt that the mullahs are running around “in a state of panic.”

This sounds like CBS/NYT journalism to me. - They are undoubtablty concerned, as would any country’s leaders be that make dangerous gambles, and take that concern into their calculations.
