Israel Says Iran, Syria and Hezbollah Are Preparing For War With U.S.
2007-04-03
(AHN) - Israeli Military Intelligence Major General Amos Yadlin says Syria, Iran and the Hezbollah terror group are preparing for a summer confrontation with the U.S. General Yadlin tells the Yediot Ahronoth newspaper that, "Their preparation is defensive ahead of war... They fear a war initiated by the Americans because they understand that there might be an attack against Iran over the summer, but not by Israel."

However, the Intelligence Chief said reports from the field indicate that Israel may also be involved in the war, adding "We are closely following these preparations, for fear that one of the sides misinterprets certain moves in the region. I bring up the Six Day War in this context; when you reach a war no one is interested in as a result of the involvement of many players."

#6  If Syria starts a war I think we should, at the very least, give a massive chunk of Syria to the Kurds, perhaps just put them in charge.

#2  What makes you think the US hasn't planned for this contingency? The DOD plans for many contingencies, even the improbable.
