#1 Here's an idea. Why don't the Syrians fly down and try to violate Israeli airspace? And see what happens...

#2 Trespassers will be violated.
Surivors will be prosecuted.

- sign posted by my grandfather in his older years, at the start of the unpaved drive up the mountain to the house he renovated himself. (It's been decades since he died but I do miss that man ...)

#4 This was a 'no trespassing' sign I've seen a few times, always out in the countryside:

Trespassers will be shot.
Survivors will be shot again.

#5 Someone in South Africa:

"Do you beliveve in life after death? Trespass nd you will know for sure".

#6 If Israel really wanted some fun, they should get a drone aircraft with the same signature as one of their fighters, then let the Syrians use one of their expensive Russian SAMs to shoot it down.

Have the drone aircraft built with Iranian parts and covered in Farsi script.

It would be worth it for the humor alone. Plus they could get some real data from the Russian SAM at the same time.

#7 ;-)

Unfortunately, an unmanned version of the F15s or F16s is a bit beyond the state of the art right now ... and would be pretty expensive to boot.

#8 Moose, that's definitely worth an earmark/production contract, but don't expect Murtha and Co. to put that ahead of an earmark for a campaign-contribution for a non-existent Navy Pump....

#9 "accused the US on Saturday of encouraging Israel's reported violation of Syrian airspace by remaining silent on the issue"

They'd prefer that we speak up and remove all doubt that we encourage Israel to f*** with Syria (just for the fun of it)?
