And why would this be any of “The Wests” business?

I don’t believe that’s accurate. Operation Mole Cricket 19 was a far bigger deal than this current engagement.

Iran is putting to use the money Obama/Kerry released to them.

Yeah, the West was sleeping...

Well Europe maybe, but my take is that Trump WAS IN THE LOOP.

Sleeping? What BS.

Who does the Daily Caller think controls the airspace?

We had our normal overwatch on, but didn’t deploy any extaordinary assets, the IDF had it covered.

They'll try but the war is not popular back at home.

The Syrian war is costing Iran $10-$20 billion a year, the vast majority of Iranians live in poverty except for the mullahs and their families.

They've had 40 years of 'Death to America', 'Death to Israel' and no results and it's getting very, very old.

Not much of a “battle”. Iran lobs a few rockets that don’t hit a thing and Israel responds by taking out all Iran’s assets in Syria. I hope to see more “battles” like this.

“Israel And Syria Clashed In Their Biggest Battle Since 1973 War”


False headline. Israel and Iranian forces clashed, not Syria. They did so on Syrian soil, but the attacks were launch by Iranians against Israel, and Israel responded.

The problem is that down the line people seem to remember the headlines and not the actual facts.

Our local affiliate of the NYT loves to spin the headlines and recruit its leftist readership to respond in their “To The Editor” page, before the fact. I found this out from a local conservative who was asked to react to an upcoming “breaking news” story.

The casual reader never reads the articles, they just react to the headlines.

Not even close to ‘73 unless there are 1000 tanks rolling on Israel.
More like a Israeli cleanup of things they have wanted to do since Gulf War II

No one was sleeping. They're bored.

Fighting in the Mideast has become the norm for as long as anyone can remember. Jews kill Muslims, Muslims kill jews, Muslims kill each other and on and on....On and on and on.

Just one EMP over Iran and then we'll see some real fun.

The Iranians will NEVER be allowed to have a nuke. EVER.

One thousand nukes makes you a super power..... one nuke makes you a target.

The Israelis know that the very hour that the Iranians get their hands on a nuke, it's on it's way to the Palestinian refugee camps and then we get to have a real war when it goes off and the press and muslims blame the Jews for attacking the defenseless Palestinians. .

Syria was merely the ball field, Iran was the batter.

Today at work, some folks (here in the Swampland) were whining about the JCPOA. I had to hit them with a reality check--the JCPOA is not the most urgent issue with Iran right now.

This trouble along the Golan could blow up into a no-joke war.
