Israel cannot take the Bekaa Valley before taking Damascus without leaving their right flank exposed. Therefore, Syria must be goaded into attacking through southern Lebanon by constant attrition of Hezbollah in the north from the air. When Syria attacks (They won't be able to help themselves because of the blind rage of the radicals.), then Israel can take Damascus. Within a day or two, the US can enter the eastern desert and destroy the terrorist staging areas and proceed across north Syria and down into Lebanon's Bekaa.
After that, the Kurds will no doubt want to join Kurdish northeastern Syria to Kurdistan. (The same will happen to northwestern Iran eventually.)
Interesting post. I think it was pretty stupid for Hezbollah, syria to try to start something like this with the US military in it's rear. Either they are just stupid or somebody is calculating a strategery. I don't know if that somebody is us or Iran et al.
I was astonished when I heard awhile back when Israel was evicting it's own citizens from those settlements to give to the Palis. I can only think that Israel was making a gesture of peace, with the caveat, either expressed or implied, that for now on, Israel would kick muzzi's a$$ bigtime if they pulled anymore stunts...
And perhaps the ceding of Israeli land to the Palis was part of the greater WOT strategy.
I like how you think.
