#1 If Syria doesn't vacate the historical Kurdish areas before September, Kurdish guerrillas with Israeli air support, should immediately launch "Resistance operations" against the Syrian government. Furthermore if Syria and Syrian allies don't vacate Lebanon before September, Israeli armored divisions will launch operations against the Syrian government, a low level official from Rantburgia spokesman announced.

#2 Good luck with that, Syria. You have too many fixed targets that can be taken out.

#3 Israeli spooks should just cap the leadership...

#4 The Golan Heights is strategic mountainous territory looking down on Israeli population centers captured by Israel after Syria twice used the territory to attack the Jewish state.

Syria's crapulent track record in Lebanon fairly guarantee's that there's no way Israel would even consider handing back such a strategic piece of high ground.

Israeli spooks should just cap the leadership...

A near-ideal solution and one that needs to be applied to both political and clerical leadership throughout the MME (Muslim Middle East).

#6 Israel needs to nuke Damascus at the onset, and put an end to the entire mess once and for all. Follow up by nuking the only road to the Golan, and any other targets in the Middle East that raise their ugly head. Let the arabs know that any attack against Israel will be immediate suicide. Israel needs to quit playing games and start totally destroying its enemies.

#7 Israel needs to quit playing games and start totally destroying its enemies.

The same could be said for America as well.

#8 All sides have already said or inferred that the next war will be a missle war and will likely involve WMDS, be it by Terror or as misle warheads. IRAN will prob want SYRIA to have the role of pro forma "aggressor/defender" since Iran is still busy proclaiming to act in national self-defense agz the USA-Israel. IN ANY CASE. IMO MEANS IRAN-SYRIA = RADICAL ISLAM ARE WILLING TO ESCALATE AND RISK CONVENTIONAL-NUCLEAR MIL CONFRONTATION AMONGST THE WORLD'S MAJOR POWERS.

#9 Israel needs to quit playing games and start totally destroying its enemies.

Whereas I think Canada should build our own atom bombs and start nuking people because they spell their names funny. Nobody would see this coming.

But especially nuke Mecca. If Mecca is nuked before I die my life will be complete. Ok, and a dozen other cities I can think of without trying.

#10 I doubt it. The Syrians are weasels. They will insinuate themselves wherever they can do so safely, but won't take big risks.
