Syria will strike Israel and "set fire" to the Middle East if foreign forces choose to launch a military strike on the protest-ridden country, Syrian President Bashar Assad said on Tuesday. During a meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, Assad was quoted by the Iranian semi-official news agency Fars as saying that Syria would not hesitate to strike major Israeli cities if it was attacked. "If a crazy measure is taken against Damascus, I will need not more than 6 hours to transfer hundreds of rockets and missiles to the Golan Heights to fire them at Tel Aviv," Assad

So Israel has no choice but to nuke Syria if hostilities break out?

Gadaffi’s problem was Libya doesn’t have a border with Israel.

I will need not more than 6 hours to transfer hundreds of rockets and missiles to the Golan Heights

And it would take Israel only about 20 minutes to nuke Damascus to hell once they saw the movement towards Golan.

"I will need not more than 6 hours to transfer hundreds of rockets and missiles to the Golan Heights to fire them at Tel Aviv," Assad

The Israelis will need far less time than that to destroy not only the entire Syrian air force, but every piece of hardware headed to the Golan.

IDF’s preparations have long been underway. The Golan is not what it was during Kahalani’s time. The treats are laughable.

Oh, and Assad — thanks for confirming the Israeli hawks’ case that the control of the Golan is vital to their security. ...and therefore non-negotiable. Appreciate it.

If I’m not mistaken, the Golan Heights is under Israeli control.

The Israelis have a bunch of them.

Isaiah 17:

A Prophecy Against Damascus

1. A prophecy against Damascus:

“See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins.

2. The cities of Aroer will be deserted and left to flocks, which will lie down,
with no one to make them afraid.

3. The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,
and royal power from Damascus;
the remnant of Aram will be like the glory of the Israelites,” declares the LORD Almighty.

Sounds pretty clear that's what he wants.

The funny little people in the Middle East might well start asking themselves why their leaders want to rain down thernonuclear hell on the residents.

That's what Assad is asking for ~ in no mistaken terms.

lol...talk about an ignorant buffoon. You take the prize, boy.

They've had neutron bombs for decades precisely because their enemies live in such close proximity.
