Syrian officials: Golan Heights offensive possible (Assad is seething TM)
Syrian border heating up? Days after Israeli aircraft carried out an aerial flight over the palace of President Bashar Assad, Syrian officials began hinting that the country may open a new front in the Golan Heights if it is attacked by Israel.
Baby Assad is either talking big to make himself feel better, or is seriously underestimating IDF's ability to wage war.
According to reports, the Israeli flyover deeply embarrassed the Syrians, and officials are now seriously contemplating military action against Israel.
Ya think? It showed the IDF could take his sorry a** out in a heartbeat and there's not much Baby can do.
"If Israel carries out further stupidities inside Syria, the Golan front will not remain as it is. Many Israelis will suffer as they suffered attacks from Southern Lebanon when they conducted acts of foolishness there," Parliament Member Muhammad Habash said in a television interview this week.
That would really interesting. Maybe the IDF can take care of the Syrian problem for us.
The over-under for the IDF marching into Damascus, if they really wanted to, is four days.
"Syria's devotion to peace as a strategic option since the Madrid Conference does not mean that this will remain the only option forever. The Syrians have other options as well," he stated.
Blah, blah, blah. Yawn.
The MP did not rule out the possibility that Syrian cells will launch a "liberation war" and "resistance" in the Golan Heights territory keeping with the tradition of the Fedayeen (armed militias).
Now that would be a real mistake. The IDF can wage a two front war...and they play for keeps when they feel mortally threatened.
Plus the Israelis have annexed the Golan, though no-one recognizes that diplomatically. As far as Olmert is concerned, the Golan is sovereign Israeli territory. Double-plus ooops for Pencilneck.
"There are many groups in Syria that are ready for a liberation and resistance war like the one the Lebanese people carried out in Southern Lebanon. There is also a front willing to carry out self-sacrificial acts on the Golan ground," Habash said. "Syria has many options. If Israel crosses the red lines – Syria won't have any," he concluded.
If you think that the IDF would not resort to massive napalm, etc. to take out the Lions of IslamTM coming across the Golan you are sadly mistaken.
