Oh! OK. I agree that there will be more fighting and that Hezzbollah and the Syrians are going join each other against Israel.

I am disgusted when I hear about the never ending efforts to destroy Israel by Syria, Iran and other Muslim states in the middle-east.Israel has never known a moment of peace. Their situation has always been complicated because of the silliness of American administrations that have attempted to bring about a two-state peace agreement between Israel and the Muslims who are determined to destroy it.

Here is another great example of America “complicating” the issues in that part of the world. Washington/Obama would rather bury their head in the sand than deal with the realities on the ground. What is Odumdum looking for, a photograph of camoflauge clad Hezbollah operatives fueling a SCUD in launch position on a TEL next to a street sign that reads “Bekka Valley”.

Gates is right when he says Obama doesn’t have a plan for dealing with Iran’s nuke problem, but he may have well have said Obama doesn’t have a plan for dealing with any foreign policy crisis. This man has a dangerous domestic policy and NO foriegn policy.

U.S. Officials: It is Unclear if Syria Transferred Scuds to Hizbullah but ‘Intent is There’

April 18, 2010

Washington believes there is a Syrian “intent” to transfer Scud missiles to Hizbullah but there are doubts about whether the Scuds were delivered to the Shiite group, U.S. officials have said.
“We think the intent is there,” a senior U.S. official said.

But the official and two others briefed on the case said it was unclear whether the missiles were actually handed over in full to the Lebanese party.

“We believe a transfer of some kind occurred but it is unclear if the rockets themselves have changed hands,” the senior official said.
Another U.S. official said doubts were growing that Damascus had delivered the Scuds in full: “We don’t believe it happened.”
A third U.S. official also said it was “unclear … that a transfer has occurred ... and the United States has no indications that the rockets have moved across the border.”

Israeli President Shimon Peres has accused Damascus of providing Hizbullah with the missiles, prompting Washington to officially warn that the transfer “potentially puts Lebanon at significant risk.”

Syria also warned that Israel was paving the way for new military action through its allegations.
The allegation comes at a sensitive time in U.S.-Syrian relations. Washington has reached out to Syria in recent months by nominating the first U.S. ambassador to Damascus since 2005 and sending top diplomats to meet with President Bashar Assad.
