#1 They warned the Israelis. You can't paint your house that color.

#2 "Not that we know something's about to happen. Nope, huh uh. Not us Govt guys, oh no, it'll be the regular people who will, uh, maybe do some stuff. Y'know little people. Just citizens... with Katushas. We're just playing cards and minding our own business - y'know, restraining things."

#3 There is no trash removal in Syria - otherwise Assad and the Baathists would be gone

#4 Israel should say the same thing. That there's rumors that ordinary Israeli citizens of the Northern Front Neighborhood Group might drive their ~~tanks~~ tractors toward Damascus.

Just rumors, ya know, so be careful.

#6 especially as there are Israeli settlements in the Golan within a short distance of Syrian territory.

al-Sharaa needs a geography lesson -- the most difficult thing about the terrain in the 30 miles between Israel and the Syrian settlement of Damascus is the need to keep your foot on the brakes to avoid outrunning your artillery support.

#8 Mortars and crew servec weapons are OK; just no yard gnomes. Even if they look like Yasser or Yassin.

#9 Got to admit, it's a bit more subtle than the Chinese volunteers of the Korean war...

#10 Super Hose

In France a few years ago there was a "Yard Gnome Liberation Front" who kidnapped yard gnomes and set them free in their natural habitat (forests).

#11 The Israelis should suggest that ALL the Syrians attack the Golan heights: preferably at the same time. Line them up nice and straight. Should take the Israeli airforce about an hour to kill all of them and solve a lot of problems.

#14 They better not have the Lawn Jockey in Europe. They aren't allowed to steal those!

#15 Get them out in the open so we can waste them all!

#16 Jakester - Are you proposing that we waste all the Syrians, Israeli settlers, Gnomes, Pink Flamingos, Chrome Balls, Lawn burros or lawn jockeys?

JFM, culturally speaking, what's up with this whole Marianne controversy. Is it as big a mess as having Barbara Streisand's husband play Cowboy Ronnie?

#17 "In Fort Wayne the neighborhoods band together to contract snow and trash removal. In Syria they buy mortars..."
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the residents of Fort Wayne are better armed... :o)
