Didn't see it posted. I read one article where it was predicted to begin on the 15th of this month. The 15th is right around the corner. When the bombs start falling, I'll believe it. Take care Israel and be prepared.

I should have said...I read more than one article where it was predicted. Oops.

[Red Badger]

Wars and rumours of wars.........

Sure sounds like it, huh?

[AU72]

Olmert has offered the Golan to Syria on a silver platter but Syria has blown him off. The next conflict in the region will make last July’s Hezzbolla operation look like flag football.

[RightWhale]

This war has been scheduled to start tomorrow morning for at least a year if not a decade.

[Red Badger]

All these things MUST come to pass........

Olmert’s an idiot...and dangerous for the Israeli’s. How that man still has his job is beyond me.

[livius]

I don’t think anything is going to happen by a particular date, but there are so many balls in the air right now that something is going to happen sooner or later. Israel/Syria? Pakistan/coup? Iran/Iraq?

In any case, I’m about to go to Spain for three weeks, so I’d be really happy if it would just hold off until I get back! One of my biggest nightmares is being stranded abroad after something horrible happens. You can’t swim back from Europe...

[Fitzcarraldo]

Hopefully, the Lebanese army will play a decisive role. /sarc

[AU72]

How that man still has his job is beyond me.

I believe Isreal's sworn enemies are thinking the same and have decided there won't be a better time to strike.

Has Syria ever recalled all their citizens from Lebanon before this latest rumor of war?

[processing please hold]

Yes.

[RightWhale]

Did they last time they attacked the Golan Heights or occupied Lebanon?

[Bon mots]

yeah...

"You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come." (Matthew 24:6)

"You can’t swim back from Europe..."

Where is your spirit of adventure? :-)

[livius]

LOL! Maybe I need better flippers.

You're right, something is bound to happen sooner or later. It's a powder keg in that area of the world. I’m about to go to Spain for three weeks,

Spain? You're brave. Take care and have fun.

You can’t swim back from Europe...

Sure ya can, if you're determined and have plenty of shark repellent strapped to you. When your arms get tired-roll on your back and float. :-)

The current political upheaval in Israel presents an opportunity for the Islamic Nazi’s, but it also prevents Israel’s ability to strike first.

NEXT SUMMER will be the time, in my opinion, ESPECIALLY if Netanyahu wins this winter...

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Israel held its punches against Lebanon. They should be able to destroy Syrian civilian infrastructure at will. The Syrians will be reading by candlelight and crossing rivers on jury-rigged rafts for a generation if they light this off.
