A wartime update bump...

[geedee]

We, both the Brits and us war-mongering Americans, have giant bullseyes on our backs. These zealots are gonna take some whacks at us . . . I say to them "Give it your best shot, jackass, but make your peace with Allah first! We've turned the other cheek for the last time."

We're gonna have to take 'em on sometime, might as well do it now when we're already ready to party and we might as well do it in their own backyards so London and New York streets don't bear the brunt of their cowardly attacks.

From all the video I have seen of him, he seems completely oblivious. Hopefully he will decide on the right side of history.

[Lurker]

"One of these days, a Marine Expeditionary Force will drop right into the Bekaa Valley and kill a lot of people. "

From your keyboard to Rumsfelds ear.

As a former Marine, the Corps owes a real special kind of payback to the Syrians and Hezbollah. It's going to be a bitch...

. . . it might try to provoke an American military attack on Damascus as a means of igniting international outrage.

LOL. They ain't been paying attention, huh? Unlike Pee Wee Klintoon, GW doesn't particularly care what international despots and dictators or French poodles think of us. Hell, they hate us now . . . might as well give them a reason.

[Redleg Duke]

What you are saying...as we "Colonials would state it in our primative manner"...is that Hezbollah is about to let it's alligator mouth write a check (or cheque) it's hummingbird asshole can't cash!

[blam]

"Other sources said that if Hezbollah went on the offensive, the Pentagon would respond in kind. "

Why wait for them?

[MeekOneGOP]

Seems like a rerun? Didn't the Liberal Media insist an Iraqi War would outrage the entire Arab world? Doh !

[KantianBurke]

indeed. wasn't the whole idea behind preemption our not waiting to get hit by attacks?

[George W. Bush]

We need to hit the Bekaa valley now with stealth aircraft and stealthy armed drones. And we need to get very aggressive on holding Syria responsible for the actions of any terrorist element entering Iraq from Syria, including via Jordan.

His feelings might resemble the mouse here:

[jbstrick]

Great Catch!! (as always)

Thank you MadIvan

[Servant of the Nine]

Syria protects Hezbollah.

Well, Afghanistan used to protect Al Quaida.

Think about that Bashar.
Think about it a lot.
While you still can.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Let it be known. If radical islamists target coalition forces in Iraq, Lebanon’s Beka’a valley will become a killing field.

God willing.

[NMFXSTC]

Better yet...wtch the movement of out KC-135 refueler tankers...when they move, the fighte-bombers move....think about it (and they are on the move!)

[Pharmboy]

Great: but what are the Arabists at the State Department doing these days?

[Maynerd]

The looming showdown is heightening concern that either side could provoke an incident that might spiral into war.

And the problem is ?

[prairiebreeze]

Encouraged by their victory in Iraq, hawks close to the Bush administration are now pressing for a crackdown on Syria to isolate Islamic radicals.

One persons hawk is another person's no-nonsense, take charge visionary.

SYRIA IS A NEST OF TERRORATS.

Hamas Covenant 1988

The Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement 18 August 1988 In The Name Of The Most Merciful Allah

These conferences are only ways of setting the infidels in the land of the Moslems as arbitraters. When did the infidels do justice to the believers?

"But the Jews will not be pleased with thee, neither the Christians, until thou follow their religion; say, The direction of Allah is the true direction. And verily if thou follow their desires, after the knowledge which hath been given thee, thou shalt find no patron or protector against Allah." (The Cow - verse 120).

There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors. The Palestinian people know better than to consent to having their future, rights and fate toyed with. As in said in the honourable Hadith:

"The people of Syria are Allah's lash in His land. He wreaks His vengeance through them against whomsoever He wishes among His slaves It is unthinkable that those who are double-faced among them should prosper over the faithful. They will certainly die out of grief and desperation."

[FreeReign]

Colin Powell, the US secretary of state, is expected to warn Damascus that Washington will no longer tolerate the use of Syrian-controlled territory as a “safe haven” for terror groups.

Sounds good to me.
