Netanyahu vows fierce retaliation if Syria attacks
AFP News ^ | August 27, 2013

Israel will strike back "fiercely" if Syria attacks the Jewish state, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday, as the US mulled military action against President Bashar al-Assad's regime.

"The State of Israel is prepared for every scenario," he said following consultations on the crisis in Syria. "We are not part of the civil war in Syria, but if we detect any attempt to hurt us, we will react, and react fiercely."

Israel isn’t going to be a limp wristed pansy like Obozo.

This will be what stops them, they know this guy isn’t some half a fag, kenyan, pushover. But barry will take the credit.

And now we have a UN ambassador who is chomping at the bit to protect the victims of “Israeli aggression”.

So which way do you think the UN will go on backing her?

Iran may have supplied Syria with short range missiles. Even if the Iron Dome is effective, there may be thousands of causalities if they explode over populated areas. This may be the catastrophic consequences the Russians are warning about. Obama and Kerry are over their heads and are being lured into a disaster.

“...This may be the catastrophic consequences the Russians are warning about....”

We are indeed in interesting times when I respect a Russian ex-NKVD type more than our smegmalipped piece of excrement leader, and respect Pravda much much more than I respect the NYT.

Sorry, but the Russians have much more street cred than does our bottom-dwelling White House “thing”.

If Obama attacks Syria and Syria attacks Israel, I think we’ll find out if Iran has any NK nukes.

Israel is in a crappy neighborhood. Bibi hopes to keep from being attacked again.

I’m sure that Iranians are not suicidal. Israelis will have their finger on the trigger.

Lots of moving parts inherent in this mess. Far too many for Odumbo to comprehend. The Amateur is in way over his head.

The ingredients for a serious, expanded conflict are in the mix. The US congress had better wake up fast before Obama ignites a fire he can’t extinguish.

Looking at the last 50 years of the history in the Middle East, Russia (former USSR),was a major reason for instability of this region. Russians lost most of the influence in the area for many reasons but still want to have some impact.

Not a joke. Their leaders are typical politicians. They need to rule but if God forbid nukes are involved it will be the end and they know the outcome of this “game”.

The Russians have been all talk since the early wars in Yugoslavia. The US has pushed them around to where you cannot believe their rhetoric. Putin should just pull off his shiet for another photo operation. I suggest mountain climbing with plenty of ropes, caribeaners and hand chalk.

And than what? Problem of the US and Western politicians is that in their mind everyone have to think like them but fail to understand that Middle Eastern mentality is different. Arabs need strong and sometimes brutal leader to keep country on the leash. It is like to grub someone by their throat strong enough to disable them but not strong enough to suffocate them.

When it comes down to it...all muzzles ARE suicidal. They think their reward is in heaven as martyrs.

Us Christians are having too much fun here. It’ll be ok when the time comes. But let’s not rush it.
