| IDF Will Invade Syria if Missiles Fly |
| 2007-08-14 |
| The IDF under Defense Minister Ehud Barak is planning a ground assault deep into Syrian territory if Syria attacks Israel with missiles AKA Resistance™, according to a report by Channel 10's military affairs correspondent. The reporter said Syria possesses thousands of missiles capable of hitting virtually any point within Israel. The only way to counter this threat, he said, would be to launch a swift strategic ground assault into Syria until the missile attack ceases. |

| #5 Moose is probably right about the Sunni nations, but the Turks would go apeshit over an autonomous Kurdish area. |

| #4 but *also* get the support of every Sunni government, especially Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Moose, color me skeptical. Maybe after the fact, as DarthVader sugests, but that is a big maybe. |

| #3 Good idea moose, Only, if I was Israel I would give it after the 24 blitz of ground forces into Damascus. "Israel was attacked by Syria, we have deposed Assad, and ask the assistance of the Sunni nations in restoring majority rule with peacekeepers, in return for which they, not Israel, will guarantee Syria becomes a peaceful and democratic nation. Israel will leave, and they will insure a peaceful transition." |

| #2 It has never crossed their minds that Syria is a nation ruled by a 10% of minority Alawite Shiites over 90% Sunnis and Kurds, and that Israel could not only scare the Syrian government to death, but *also* get the support of every Sunni government, especially Egypt, Jordan and Saudi, simply by saying: "If Israel is attacked by Syria, we will depose Assad, and ask the assistance of the Sunni nations in restoring majority rule with peacekeepers, in return for which they, not Israel, will guarantee Syria becomes a peaceful and democratic nation. Israel will leave, and they will insure a peaceful transition." That statement would make Assad, Syria, Hezbollah, and Iran poop themselves. |

| #1 Barak is thinking in the right direction, but it falls a bit short in the results department: "assault into Syria until the missile attack ceases." How about "Al-Suriya delenda est"? |
