DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told the Syrian military on Monday to raise its readiness, pledging not to abandon support for Lebanese resistance against Israel.

"We are facing international circumstances and regional challenges that require caution, alert, readiness and preparedness," Assad said.

"The barbaric war of annihilation the Israeli aggression is waging on our people in Lebanon and Palestine is increasing in ferocity," Assad said in a written address on the occasion of the 61st anniversary of the foundation of the Syria Arab Army.

"We are facing international circumstances and regional challenges that require caution, alert, readiness and preparedness,"

I think that roughly translates to "Better put your heads between your knees boys."

I want Damascus leveled

I want the 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty withdrawn from, but nobody listens to me either.

Syria does not want to have its butt kicked by Israel again. This is hollow rhetoric.

Notice the wording in the original article linked fromn Drudge:

"Diplomats in Damascus say the Syrian army has been on alert since the Israeli onslaught on Lebanon began on July 12 after Hizbollah fighters captured two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border operation."

The hezzie terrorists are "fighters". Israel's response is an "onslaught". The soldiers were "captured" not kidnapped during a "cross-border operation" not an incursion. The media sickens me more by the day.

I will never understand how that stuff is decided. Doesn't make logical sense most of the time.
