Don’t try to link me to a site where I have to subscribe to read it.
The conventional wisdom should be that we cannot exclude a non-conventional attack on Israel, he said. We would have to pre-empt in order to prevent it. We need to be prepared to launch even military attacks... and military attacks mean maybe a deterioration to war.
A top IDF officer said recently that Israel is in preparations for the possibility of war and in the midst of deployment with the situation in Syria in mind.
The greatest challenge facing Division 36, which is placed in the Golan, is the possibility of facing a surprise attack, said the officer, Brig. Gen. Tamir Heiman, Commander of Division 36. The biggest concern is a combined terror attack and we are preparing for this in the Golan area.
I’ll take that as a “yes.”
Thanks!
Good bye Damascus.
I don’t believe a thing this regime’s State Department says. I don’t believe a thing the MSM reports on the ME.
The “Arab Spring” is a lie and will bring about great misery. Cui bono? Islamists and Saudi Arabia.
So is Israel going to “S$$t” or get off the pot?? They been talking for some time now about how they we’re going to have to do bomb this or preemptive that. I have no doubt in Israel’s ability to defend itself but its past time to put these words to action. I’m starting to think that Israel is going to have to preemptively nuke a lot of the region straight to hell in order to make sure they are safe.
Too late to complain now—we didn’t do squat when Saddam moved them into Syria back in 2003,
There.....feel better now?
So Syria has WMDs??
huh - how bout that?
Wonder where they came from.
I wonder................

Any recent updates on the investigation of the reported Iraqi-Syrian chemical weapons transfer from 2003? The last I saw on that was a huge document dump of records the U.S. had acquired that a poster here on FR was working through translating and analyzing, but I never did see what the analysis of the documents turned up.
