Yessir, I've been wanting to see a gallon milk jug full of Anthrax ever since we went in. I figure that's what it will take to shut them up. If they DID find boatloads of WMD with Syria's fingerprints all over them, wouldn't we be justified in slamming into Syria from the east and linking up with the Izzies?

Which would allow Israel to openly attack Syria, which would either call Iran's bluff, or bring them openly into the war.

[MarcusAurelious]

The move has been rumored.

Let the games begin!

I know. As I recall it is believed left beside the road where it was abandoned because it was so large.

Heard a soundbite of Pres Bush this morning saying they are working hard toward a ceasefire, but his tone of voice and phrasing, parsing said something, too.

[RightWhale]

Some say that, too.

[TheDon]

Hehe! That would be nice.

[MarcusAurelious]

If Syria gets involved, Team Israel may include Team USA.

After all, if there are WMDs in the Bekaa, we had dibs on them first!

[rahbert]

The LE certainly has teeth.

[RightWhale]

Remember the Chosin Reservoir.

[TheDon]

If Iran gets involved, the US will be involved.

[Blueflag]

interesting chess move.

cease-fire as a feint.

[Billthedrill]

This thing can be contained if the Syrians can be convinced not to cross the border. The Iranians will be hysterical in trying to do so and will attempt to punish Assad if he doesn't dance to their war drum.

It's going to be very, very hot in that valley. This is long overdue.

[nopardons]

It sure was.

I hope that the Israelis get enough time to finish this job.

[LexBaird]

By definition, the Foreign Legionaires aren't French.

[AngryJawa]

The Dentist/Dictator just made this seat cushion disappear.

I know the Israelis will have good air cover. I just hope their resupply stays up and running. Those boys are way out in Indian Country there.

Countries normally don't attack themselves

You mean like Waco?

Good one.

"This could bring the Syrians in to protect their assets."

The Syrians are using their head towels for back door cleanup.
