Sounds like Syrians are massing tanks, and removing their own land mines. The first step in an armored assault is to remove your own anti-tank defenses, to clear the way for your advancing armor. If this report is true, it is not good.

NOT GOOD?! This is the absolute best news (if true) in a long time! All of Syrian's tanks would be smoking hulks, cutesy of IDF air force, within hours. How is that not fantastic news?

Because if Syria attacks Israel, then the entire Middle East is going to be at war. Open war is often necessary, and it is certainly coming, but that doesn't mean that I have to clap my hands with glee when it occurs.

If Syria attacks Israel, then Iran will attack Iraq, and us, to try to keep us from joining the battle. Jordan will have to make a decision, and I doubt it will be to our liking. I also doubt that Egypt will be able to stay out of it.
