| "Syria placed its army on war preparedness, pointed Scuds at Israel from Thursday, July 20" Does this mean they were pointed at Tahiti prior to the 20th? |

Has the DEBKAfile ever been right in breaking news? If not, the Mods should just ban their junk news reports.
Is this from the same guy who said Karl Rove had been indicted?
Yes, and they better stay there if they want to live.

How many of these folks were only born as a result of Israel allowing their fathers to "surrender" instead of bein mopped up?
It's DEBKA. I'd wait to see independent verification before reacting to this. If, however, this is true, would not the United States have an obligation to offer assistance to our ally?
GAMLA has theirs. When they jive, we publish.
This report, we believe will be common knowledge in just a few days time.
Some people here laugh at DEBKA but I have often seen its reports backed up a couple of days later. Not all of them are accurate, and like any news source, it has to be read with caution. I think their error is that often the headlines or titles promise more than the article delivers. However, they do get your attention...
In my mind, Debka still has a very hard time living down the reports years ago of a million-strong Iraqi army invading Jordan, with massive air battles between the Iraqi AF on one side, and Israel, Jordan and USAF on the other, occuring in the skies above Jordan. The story even had Iraq winning the air battle.
Less speculation please, even when informed speculation. At least make it clear when a story cannot be backed up with verifiable sources.
" Our sources add Syrian fighter pilots are sitting in their cockpits."
Now if they only knew how to fly them. Amen. LOL
Our appeasement of Iran has been folly. Now we pay the price.
Debka may never be right, but the Israelis should take out these two targets in any case. MOAB bunker busters.
This has to peg the BS meter to extreme. And exactly how did the Iranians airlift the weapons? Did they fly through Turkey? Did they fly over Iraq with them? Did they fly them around the gulf over Saudi Arabia and Jordan? And did the sealift wave at the U.S. Navy as they passed the straights of Hormuz?
"DEBKA's sources" := "we made it up"
It's is like having something from the National Enquirer in Breaking News.
