Israel wants Assad's war machine greatly reduced in power.

I see. So, it's so much not that they dislike Assad, it's just that they want to see Syria reduced to ashes.

it's close to mission accomplished

Yes, 500,000 dead and a totally ruined nation.

So, it's so much not that they dislike Assad, it's just that they want to see Syria reduced to ashes.

Wrong on both counts. ...again.

1) They DO despise Assad. It's just that they'd prefer an Arab strongman like him to jihadi crazies like ISIS / AQ. And those are the only two options for people living in the real world.

2) I clearly said that Israel wants Assad's war machine degraded, not the country itself turned to ashes and hundreds of thousands of its people killed.

Israel didn't start this war, nor did they want it. In fact they warned the Obama admin. countless times that their "Arab Spring" meddling would turn into a regional disaster. And they were right. ...again.

But given the FACT of a war they didn't want to see, they certainly didn't want those who aim to bring about an Islamic caliphate to win. And who would? ...other than jihadis nutcases and their enablers.
