perhaps..
But a WMD attack on Israel means the Walls of Jericho come tumbling down....
Not the desired result for a socialist dictatorship. I'm SURE they aren't as willing as President nutcase to meet thier 12 Virgins yet....
yea but this is not 67, 73 or 82 where they knew Soviet intervention would keep the Israelis at bay. Imagine sitting in Assad's shoes right now, you've got a bunch of war hardened Americans to your east and some pissed off Israelis to your south and soon to be to his west also. Your only friends in the world are Hizbullah and Iran who looks to be throwing you under the bus right now. Don't underestimate what a cornered animal may do, there are a bunch of folks in TelAviv whose life hangs on the outcome of this little war.
