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.
blah blah blah
Damascus delenda est soon.
Go ahead @sshole... make our day... and Israel's. This guy is posturing. He wouldn't think twice about attacking Israel. That fly by over his vacation home was priceless....
Bashar ole buddy, yer about 2 camel humps short of getting into something you'll wish you never touched.
Best to lay low and sit this one out.
I want Damascus leveled with any escalation in this war. NO NATION BUILDING THIS TIME! Only smoke and embers. Lets dump our garbage there for the next 1000 years.
This guy is posturing...............Lessons from inmate Ben Dover?
The siren is UP!
I'd love to see that to!
"Welcome to scenic Damascus 2007."
ROFL
Just like 92 years ago TODAY!
I want the 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty withdrawn from, but nobody listens to me either.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.
"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.
...when the Syrian Army goes to war....does it have to stop working on merit badges?....or is it the cookies they have to stop selling?......
I don't get it... There was a post that came after this one..but it was marked for "Breaking News". It had a lot more responses to it. It get's taken down and this one get's moved to breaking.......
Who does Assad think is going to mobilize and come to his jihad?
I will never understand how that stuff is decided. Doesn't make logical sense most of the time.
