Just like Bill Clintoon did, he had many red lines in the sand of Iraq. He would draw one, then draw another, then draw another. He was a real good line drawer, in Iraq.

It certainly is. Isreal can’t let the depots fall into the hand of the AQ ‘rebels’ that Dear Leader is supporting.

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

The time of choosing has come and gone. There was a lot of chatter back in Sept. 2012 when the DNC had to vote 3 times to put God back in the platform and the other part of that equation was to recognize Jerusalem, Israel. The people of the party voted "no," not once...but 3 times. They put them back in the platform against the wishes of the people. They did it for 'votes,' not for fear of God.

I do not know what democrat Christians were thinking when they voted for 0bama the second time. How could any Christian be part of a party that seeks to deny God and then its leadership makes a farce of Him for votes?

"The Great Satan," is what islam calls us and yet on every front we provide support to islam. Our aid flows into those countries and blood runs in the streets. It is odd, that like progressive liberals, islam has adopted that which they have claimed to hate. Their projection of America being Satan ...the Great Satan...befalls them. They do his bidding and do not see it is they themselves who is the Great Satan.

Now, now we will witness the consequences of millions of Christians voting for a Godless party and Godless leader. As shrill as it may sound we had an important choice in November. It wasn't so much about who would be President as when one considers the ticket choice really was for a Godless leader or a man of God.

Netanyahu..doing the work that Obama refuses to do!

it is not a matter of refusal... why would zer0 and his regime do “the work”? Syria is now our ally and Israel the enemy. oh maybe not on paper, but de facto.

I would hate to be in the service under this regime.

Saddam is dead
Bin Laden is dead...(thanks to Bush's waterboarding spooks)

we have in North America decades of oil and natural gas(once the current regime is gone and his successor lets us get it and use it)...lets pull out and let the middle east self destruct if that is what the outcome will be.

With an occasional vaporization if need be.

As well as constant monitoring back home to eliminate any more filth like Speedbump and Flashbang.

From Al Jezeera.....

Israel confirms airstrike inside Syria
Israeli officials have confirmed that the country’s air force carried out a strike against Syria and say it targeted a shipment of advanced missiles.

The officials said on Saturday the shipment was not of chemical arms, but of “game changing” weapons bound for the Lebanese Hezbollah group.

They claimed, speaking on condition of anonymity, that the airstrike was early on Friday, but no mention was made of where it took place.

Following the strike, Defence Ministry strategist, Amos Gilad, said that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad retains control of Syria’s reputed chemical weapons and they are not sought by his Hezbollah allies in Lebanon.

“Syria has large amounts of chemical weaponry and missiles. Everything there is under (Assad government) control,” Gilad said in a speech.

“Hezbollah does not have chemical weaponry. We have ways of knowing. They are not keen to take weaponry like this, preferring systems that can cover all of the country (Israel),” he said.

Earlier this week, Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said his group would assist Assad if needed in the effort to put down a 2-year-old uprising.

Israeli embassy spokesman Aaron Sagui would not comment on Friday night specifically on the report of an Israeli strike into Syria.

“What we can say is that Israel is determined to prevent the transfer of chemical weapons or other game-changing weaponry by the Syrian regime to terrorists, specially to Hezbollah in Lebanon,” Sagui said in an email to the AP.

The Syrian UN Ambassador, Bashar Ja’afari, told Reuters: “I’m not aware of any attack right now.”

Intense overflights

It was not immediately clear where the airstrike took place, or whether the air force carried out the strike from Lebanese or Syrian airspace.

The Israeli air force has so-called “standoff” bombs that coast dozens of kilometres across ground to their targets once fired.

That could, in theory, allow Israel to attack Syria from its own turf or from neighbouring Lebanon.

Lebanese authorities reported unusual intensive Israeli air force activity over their territory on Thursday and Friday.

A Lebanese security source said his initial impression was that Israeli overflights were monitoring potential arms shipments between Syria and Lebanon, potentially to Hezbollah.

“We believe that it is linked to Israel’s concerns over the transfer of weapons, particularly chemical weapons, from Syria to its allies in Lebanon,” said the official, who asked not to be named.

Syrian opposition sources, usually quick to announce rumours of Israeli air strikes, said they had not heard of an attack on Syrian territory.

In January this year, Israel bombed a convoy in Syria, apparently hitting weapons destined for Hezbollah, according to diplomats, Syrian rebels and security sources in the region.

In 2007, Israeli jets bombed a suspected nuclear reactor site along the Euphrates River in northeastern Syria, an attack that embarrassed and jolted the Assad regime and led to a buildup of the Syrian air defence system.

The Israeli strike also follows days of renewed concerns that Syria might be using chemical weapons against opposition forces.

speedbump and flashbang....love it.

we need to move back most of the middle easterners from Islamic nations we have let in in the past 2 decades.

Sorry for those who are just trying to find a little freedom, but the minority of them, is just too dangerous to have around and the so called religion is in reality a death cult.

Well I don't care where they're from as long as they're not moslems. If they have any islamic history....Begone!

The mosks (terrorist training centers) should all be eradicated.

You get the “A” for effort but if one really cares about the names they have to come first. It’s a matter of good form. In my case just check the tag line.

The Israeli red line is different because they are right there in the area where they can be really/actually killed by these tyrants. They won’t bat an eye at striking a threat that is right across the border. Obama has the luxury of being too far away for these tyrants to hit. The last thing he wants is to get into another conflict. So an Obama red line is about as worthless as it gets.
