#1 Sounds like a plan to me, General, but see what you can do to drive Syria and the Hizzies in southern Lebanon back 50 years (or 500, since they seem to already be there in spirit) and leave the decent Lebanese in peace.

Of course, you can give Baby Assad and the Hizzies some peace, too - grave peace.

#2 If Syria can be successfully pressured to move out of Lebanon, it can be pressured for more.

Right now military action of Israel against Syria would be foolish unless Assad chooses to hang himself.

#3 It may not be Assad that makes such a choice, It could be a decision made by someone in Syria seeking to replace Assad.

Israel needs to stay out of this unless imminent an attack is being prepared.

#4 It's not about Israel anymore. I think that more and more Arabs are finally acknowledging that no matter what their opinions of Israel are, they can't be allowed to be distracted from their own troubles by that old nonsense anymore. Anytime an Arab despot or leader faces any heat, they immediately start yelping about the Jooooooos, knowing that they can get away with anything as long as they blame Israel and whip up a fresh batch of hatred.

After all this time people are finally waking up to the misdirection and they're not going to let Assad off the hook and if he launches an attack on Israel, it will only be seen as a desperate ploy, an admission of defeat.

#5 So, Syria wants to go for defeat #5 against Israel? Power to you Assad, you are gonna need it.
