I agree with your strategy. I've often thought that W's long term stategery was to first surround Iran, and then go for the kill.

Yes, llamas. Cool, huh?! And smart. Llamas are strong, can carry heavy equipment over rough terrain, and are pretty quiet. Plus they're cute. ;-)

Taking on Syria? Game on! Go team Israel!!!!

It's no game, but a mater of national survival for Israel.

Especially if those Iraqi/Syrian WMDs are in the Bekka Valley.

That said.

Go IDF

BTW, from the Golan Heights positions already have, they are actually closer than that to Damascus. The tempting thought is a pincer attack from north western and southwestern approaches to Damascus. Just daydreaming....

US forces are the most mobile in the world, by far.

We move more, faster, than anyone else.

Maneuver has been the hallmark of the US since WWII...started with the Navy and Marines...then Patton...then everyone. Our armor can move faster than most light infantry. Our airborne is AT LEAST as good as the IDF.

And, of course, we learned it from Rommel, Napoleon, Alexander, Ceasar etc. before us.

IMAGINE the impact on the poor Arab mentality!

Their "holy lands" being invaded at will by Jews, infidels and other "inferior" species who the Muslims believed could not defeat the brave "Arab Warrior". (forgive the oxymoron)

The mighty Taliban -- overthrown in weeks.

The mighty Iraqi Army -- routed in days.

The mighty wannabe Jihadists, racing to Iraq and Afghanistan to fight the infidels -- being slaughtered easily -- have now changed tactics to focus on blowing up unarmed women and children...

The mighty Hizbollah -- reduced to hiding behind women and children and killing both for publicity..

The mighty Hizbollah "leader" hiding somewhere -- impossible to show his ugly f'ing face in public for fear of becoming a Martyr.... (the "leaders" avoid Martyrdom like a plague - haven't you noticed?)


If the Israeli continue kicking ass until Hizbollah and all supporting villages, cities and nations are a single layer of rubble -- I will seek out a Conservative California Rabbi for training to become a Jew....
An Israeli Jew, not a freaking leftist American Jew -- all of whom I despise.

Semper Fi

I just checked CNN and there is nothing there about this. Please give the complete URL to source this.

Look for the linked headline, it will move as other stories are added.

Israeli troops on the ground near Baalbeck

BEIRUT (CNN) -- Israeli aircraft flew support missions in the sky near the eastern Lebanese town of Baalbeck Tuesday as troops hit the ground about 10 km north of the town in the Bekaa Valley near the Syrian border, Lebanese security sources said.

The Lebanese army also reported heavy helicopter traffic east and west of the town.

The Israel Defense Forces had no comment on the reports. (Posted 5:01 p.m.)

Well maybe they'll stomp a few Islamofacists pigs to death, too.

The use of Llamas in battle - Surely this violates the Geneva Convention

PETA will soon be issuing a scathing press release denouncing this practice

...Israel now ranks second among foreign countries in the number of its companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges.

I am not sure about that statistic which, from looking at the Wikipedia page, does not have a listed source.

I did some searching, and at least at the New York Stock Exchange, it only shows 3 Israeli companies (Blue Square-Israel, Koor Industries, and Tefron Ltd) among the 453 foreign companies listed as of today, August 1st: http://www.nyse.com/pdfs/06nonUSIssuers.pdf.

Canada (88 companies), Britain (44 companies), and Brazil (31 companies), and Japan (18 companies) all have far more companies listed at the NYSE than Israel.
