With those threats it sounds like it’s time for a preemptive strike from Israel. I can’t imagine Olmert having the stones to do it though. The good thing about any war involving Israel is that they’ll control the air in about 3 days. The next time they buzz Assad’s palace maybe they’ll be dropping bombs.
I would agree with a preemptive strike, but that would probably draw in other arab countries against Israel. Let the Syrians cast the first stone, then the IDF has the right to self defense and the rest of the world can’t say Boo about it. The Syrians would have to be nuts to start something with a large contingent of our air power over there.
