This is very ominous. Since Iran is also involved, Bush’s “axis of evil” remark was more accurate than it was given credit for.

[Clintonfatigued]

Here’s another Israeli triumph of survival.

[BigBobber]

Hopefully they also seized some of the Iranian or NK personnel as well.

I’ve not read this in any US press.. Did I miss it? Or, more realistically, are they sitting on it as it doesn’t fit their agenda?

The way the world is going, it’s just a matter of time!

[EGPWS]

ISRAELI commandos from the elite Sayeret Matkal unit – almost certainly dressed in Syrian uniforms – made their way stealthily towards a secret military compound near Dayr az-Zawr in northern Syria.

The nerve of them to do such a thing!

Nancy Pelosi and Dennis Kusinich were open minded enough to let everyone know of their visit to Syria.

When will the IAF learn. /s

[ASOC]

“America approved an attack”

LOL

Since when has the IAF asked permission from anyone outside of command channels for ‘permission’?

Oh well the F15 I (seen in the USAF as the Strike Eagle) seems to have done the job, not bad for an Air Superiority fighter.....

[editor-surveyor]

Where would we be without the Israeli?

[EGPWS]

I’ve not read this in any US press..

Are you liberal press biased challenged?

[Clintonfatigued]

I can’t imagine Americans in Israel hoping for a DemocRAT victory.

Since 1948, the IAF totes an over 30 to 1 kill ratio against the Arab aggressors. : )

I can't imagine any thinking person anywhere hoping for a democrat victory.

Hidden in the article is this little tidbit that must be picked up and repeated frequently:

"Critics of Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, believe he has shown poor judgment since succeeding his father Hafez, Syria’s long-time dictator, in 2000. According to David Schenker, of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, he has provoked the enmity of almost all Syria’s neighbours and turned his country into a “client” of Iran.'

Daddy's boy isn't so smart.

[yldstrk]

Strong move by Israel.

[tje]

Are you liberal press biased challenged?

Oh, not at all.. just bringing attention to the glaring lack coverage. This is really big news, they should be all over it.

[EGPWS]

Think "pragmatically" my FRiend. ; )

I understand your post, however to think that the MSM would cover it without political directive leads me to believe that you are without mindful understanding of bias. ; )

[rhombus]

Did Syria want to arm its own Scuds with a nuclear device?

Well just duh! Is there really anyone who is surprised by this? Anyone? (sound of crickets chirping, tumbleweed blows down the street)
