| Raise readiness, Assad tells Syrian Army |
| 2006-07-31 |
| Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told the Syrian military on Monday to raise its readiness, pledging not to abandon support for Lebanese resistance against Israel. "We are facing international circumstances and regional challenges that require caution, alert, readiness and preparedness," Assad said. "The barbaric war of annihilation the Israeli aggression is waging on our people in Lebanon and Palestine is increasing in ferocity," Assad said in a written address on the occasion of the 61st anniversary of the foundation of the Syria Arab Army. Diplomats in Damascus say the Syrian army has been on alert since the Israeli onslaught on Lebanon began on July 12 after Hizbollah fighters captured two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border operation. They have been on readiness alert for almost three weeks now. That would take a toll on a well disciplined, well armed military. If they have already been deployed out of barracks to forward positions, then they will already be facing degradation. |

| #7 "Israeli onslaught on Lebanon" You call this, an onslaught. Trust me, this is not an onslaught. As Bibi stated, the IDF is only using "a fraction of a fraction of Israeli power." This is what happens when you dress up |
