Report: Syria, Hizbullah On Full Alert
The MERMI Blog ^
Posted on 04/22/2010 11:59:44 AM PDT by jhpigott
The Kuwaiti anti-Syrian daily Al-Siyassa reports on a full general alert in the Syrian military across the country, and also among Hizbullah fighters in southern Lebanon, Beq'a, and Dahiya.
The alert is due to fear of attack by Israel, against the backdrop of claims that Syria has transferred Scud missiles to Hizbullah.

The hump contains avionics gear, I believe. That, or it’s the Hammer of David.

The Iranian’s, Syrian’s and Saudi’s and a few other worthless POS ME countries and Jihadist groups should be glad I’m not the head of the Israeli government. They would all be gone tomorrow. The world would be a better place for it. Allah can sort em out later.

A few years back (right after Katrina), Atlanta had a serious gas shortage. I discovered how little a gas tank holds when the next resupply tanker is due in a week.
Yes, keep it topped off ... but if SHTF don’t expect to go anywhere, saving whatever is in the tank for actual dire emergencies.

Thanks. Things will get lively and we want early warning, even if nothing can be done and whatever happens will, as usual, be a complete surprise.

My prayers go up every day for those young men and women I think of them often and include them in my daily prayer. My husband is retired military and I was so fortunate to be able to be a part of the greatest service in the world.. I have to note here I worry about these militry men and women all of the time,because of the monster we have in the White House..

I wonder if that is the something special that they used to fly right through the Syrian radar when they hit the nuke facility. They are very good at upgrading existing designs. Back in the 67 war they rebuilt Sherman tanks with new engines and guns to the point that they could take on Egyptian T-55s and Jordanian M-60s and win.
If this gets hot they are going to need all the tricks they can get. Iran, Syria and Lebanon have them badly outnumbered and nearly surrounded. But most importantly they are very alone. There will be no emergency airlifts of ammunition from the US like there was in 1973. And China and Russia will ship the Syrians and Iranians anything they need. Lebanon and Syria might be screwed but Israel can't get at Iran easily. So if they can take the hammering for a few day they can simply fight with the plan of exhausting Israel's supply of ammo before they exhaust their supply of jihadists

......Al-Siyassa was the Kuwaiti paper that broke the SCUD story a couple weeks ago.......
Per your thread before, it was Kuwaiti but the Kuwaiti daily Al-Rai Al-Aam.

Note the distinction where the latter is characterized as a daily and the former as Anti Syrian. Wonder what you have to do to be anti Syrian?
I’m saving these threads of the saber rattling and winds of war to be sure I remember what we knew in advance about the various players after the was begins.

Was wondering the same thing myself, given the stories of Iraq WMD’s having been hid in Syria.
