[An Nahar] Syrian President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad

has warned that he would "set fire" to the Middle East if foreign forces launched a military strike on his country and would ask for Hizbullah's help to attack Israel.

An Arab source told Iran's Fars news Agency that Assad made the warning to Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu during his visit to Damascus

.

"If a crazy measure is taken against Damascus, I will need not more than six hours to transfer hundreds of rockets and missiles to the Golan Heights to fire them at Tel Aviv," Assad said.

The Arab source said that the Syrian president told the Turkish FM that he would also call on Hizbullah to launch a rocket attack on the Jewish state.

"All these events will happen in three hours, but in the second three hours, Iran will attack the U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf and the U.S. and European interests will be targeted simultaneously," he reportedly said.

Assad's warning came after Davutoglu informed him that he would face a war similar to the NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions...
aggression on the Libyan regime if he continued to crack down on his people.

#2  It reminds me of Gaddafi's threats to flood Europe with immigrants if deposed. These guys are desperate. They'll say anything to win last-minute support.
