This story puts a little meat on the bone on the earlier report that Israel suspended an airstrike on a Syrian arms convoy. It looks like Israel did just about put the smack down on Syria/Lebanon/Hezbollah, but was talked down by Obama. This probably explains the surprise visit by Kerry to Syria last week. What's really telling, IMO, is how this source reacted to the question about Assad's response to Kerry. It sounds like Assad basically ignored Kerry - so much for Obama's way, maybe it's now time for Israel's way??

They should have just bombed the convoy. Why would they listen to this WH on anything?

BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

All this speculation about obama and Kerry presume they actually had a part in the situation.
I expect they were ignored and had no real bearing on the events that transpired. The President is irrelevant. It is beyond his grasp and over his head

I'm betting Israel informed the Bush administration of their intentions of bombing the Syrian reactor facility and there was no attempt to "talk them down."
Chances are, they'll attepmt to build another one quickly while Zero is around.

Re an Israeli airstrike on a Hezbullah/Syrian convoy recently, Kerry was in Cambodia at the time. His spokesman vouched for him. Oh, one of his spokesmen is in jail for child pornography. Must be the “other” spokesman. Sorry.

The White House had to talk them down from the attack and promised that Kerry would use strong language Have you ever heard anything else as pathetic as that promise in your whole life?

Scud fears? Yo, Hussein, they can't reach DC. Like Desert Storm, tell Israel to lighten up, leave them alone, and we'll take care of them. Doubt Israel will believe you, but it's worth a try.

Clearly Kerry went to Damascus to ensure the Iranians transferred the missiles successfully to Hizbullah - Mission Accomplished!!
