When Israel bombs Syria they will call it:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

the choices seem pretty clear, given past behavior.

So, if a Syrian military unit, hospital, refuge center, road, government building, power station, water pumping station or government building are bombed, what will Israel say?

(Insert: What will the US say? - it will be identical anyway)

[Solo_in_MD]

1. You left a lot of viable options off the list

not the least of which of Syrians intervening in Lebanon.

[Master Mahon]

3. Syrians intervening in Lebanon

Especially during the Israeli 'Intervention'! :+

[Master Mahon]

4. ..n/t

[William769]

5. Syria has had there ass kicked by Israel before

As usual they will be coy and underhanded.

[Scurrilous]

8. Sneaky arabs...

...why do they hate little Israel?

17. Better there than hear?

6. Please delete double post.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

true.

you think the response from Condi will say something else?

"We can't simply seek a temporary ceasefire, and end up where we were before. We are concentrating on a Final Solution. (oops, wrong script) a complete solution.

[mmonk]

2. It's always self defense.

We don't need any cue cards, we have the lines down pat.

[Lefty48197]

7. I'll call it: About fucking time.

Syria has been destabilizing Lebanon for decades. If it takes a few bombs to get them to change their way, then so be it. (incoming...)

Bomb their lands! Kill their women! Convert their leaders to Christianity! :patriot:

10. quit scaring us, Kama. These people ARE that nuts,

especially in our government.

[jrd200x]

11. Everyone knows Syria and Iran supply Hezzbolah

They both deserved to be bombed. And yes, it's Israel defending itself.

Who should they attack - countries NOT supplying weapons and money to Hezbollah and Hamas?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

12. & everyone knows US supplies Israel with death making instruments.

which is worse?
Allowing the death of people wholesale by proxy, as the american taxpayer is doing?
or supporting a political, religious, educational, social services group that also has a militia based on the idea of self-defense?

[jrd200x]

27. Iran and Syria are worse. Here's why

Israel doesn't go into their countries and routinely blow people up. Hezbollah and Hamas both do it routinely.

Israel doesn't routinely go and kidnap soldiers from other counries. Hez and Hamas do it routinley.

Who would you trust to have weapons? Not Hamas and Hezbollah.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

30. Of course, Israel does. ROUTINELY

It repeatedly goes and assassinates politicians in Gaza and the West bank. Sometimes, 12 yr old school girls get in the way.
It repeatedly shells farmers trying to pick their olives, from surviving trees that Israel did not have time to destroy.
They are the biggest terror group in the region, except, they are our proxies, not arab proxies, therefore, they can do no wrong.

[jrd200x]

34. Yes, only after they've been attacked

it's called "DEFENSE"

[TahitiNut]

35. So, Cain was a Muslim and Abel was a Jew?

Wow. Go figure! :eyes:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

37. damn those 12 yr old school girls. So dangerous.

as are their ambulances, their grandmas and greatgrandfathers.
OK you convinced me.

[uppityperson]

13. "everyone knows"? prove it.

"everyone knows" doesn't do squat except pass on gossip.

[Taxloss]

15. Gossip from the Washington Post:

'Iran's role differs in each crisis, as do the issues.

'The most pressing is the new violence along Israel's borders. Overnight, the confrontation with Hamas mushroomed dramatically into a confrontation that includes Hezbollah, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. Iran is using Hezbollah to improve its own leverage, analysts say.

'"The Iranians think they have a regional role," Bakhash said. "If the Israelis are beating up the Palestinians in Gaza, they may feel compelled as supporters of the Palestinian cause to have Hezbollah take a stand at this difficult moment." Hezbollah was founded in 1982 with the funding, arms and training by Iranian Revolutionary Guards dispatched to Lebanon after Israel's invasion.'

[uppityperson]

16. founded by them in 1982. How about now, more recently?

Thank you.

[Taxloss]

29. Another Wapo piece:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/14/AR2006071401401_pf.html

It quotes the state department as saying Hezb gets c. $100m a year from Iran, including 13,000 rockets. That's if you believe the state department, but Hezb is getting all those Katyushas from somewhere, and they're not getting into Lebanon through Israel, Turkey or Iraq. Where else? Not eBay, for sure.

[uppityperson]

31. goods, cash and arms and 13,000 rockets. thank you

I am tired of certain posters (not you) and would like some (not you, thank you for giving me these links and article) to back up "everyone knows". Thank you again. Seriously.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

18. scuse me, but when "Prada" Rice announces that

the resupply of F-16 capable bunker buster bombs are being delivered on a RUSH BASIS to Israel, I think that qualifies as "everyone knows"
Hell, every single paper is discussing our military aid to them. Every Democrat in the House is bending over backwards to prove his/her love of AIPAC.
Many senators are actively supporting INCREASING military aid to Israel. And you question "everybody knows"

Excuse me, but that is the comment of a troll, not someone wishing to converse.

[uppityperson]

38. I was challenging a poster about weapons to Hezbullah.

Of course everybody knows that USA is rushing weapons to Israel, that is not what we are talking about. Calling me a troll is not very nice, especially when you are not responding to what we are talking about Syria and Iran arming Hezbullah.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

41. my sincerest apologies - wrong poster I responded to. pls forgive

I did not intend to do that.

[jrd200x]

23. There you go again. Are you saying they don't?

It's been reported on many different kinds of media.

Don't give me that "give me links" crap.

Do you believe in gravity if I don't give you links too?

[uppityperson]

39. gravity=Arming Hezbullah? You are too funny.

[jrd200x]

26. UppityPerson foolishly DENIES Iran and Syria support Hezbollah

how could that be?

No one disagrees that they do. Even Iran says they do.

UppityPerson lookin more foolish than ever.

[uppityperson]

40. jrd foolishly puts words in another posters mouth

refuses to post proof, though others did instead.

[TahitiNut]

20. Everbody knows Saddam has WMD!

:patriot:

[jrd200x]

24. and everybody knows we didn't find any

but I don't see anyone asking for links for that.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

32. LOL.

Saddam moved them to Syria, right?

[uppityperson]

42. and gave them to the Hezbullah, right?

lol

14. Dan Gillerman on Lou Dobbs

Just said a couple of talking points that didn't make your list:

"Israel wants peace."

"If the Palestinians and Lebanese love their children more than they hate Israel, there will be peace.""

[ChairmanAgnostic]

22. "Israel wants peace"

at the same time as they take a brick to the head of innocent women and children. Repeatedly, with each stroke, "WE WANT PEACE"

yeah, right.

If you have proof of just HOW Israel wants to achieve this peace through invasions, bombings, assassinations, repeated, deliberate and deadly attacks on ambulances (in lebanon AND Gaza, AND the West Bank), I would be the first in line to want to learn about it.






Ok. I'm waiting.

[Clarkie1]

33. You may not agree with Israel's tactics...but peace is their goal.

They are fighting in the hope of stopping terrorist attacks into their country. They do not want war. Why do you think Israel would want war? They are trying to prevent themselves from being attacked.

Hezbollah does want war...they love death. Their leader has sad so. The struggle will go on until Israel is driven into the sea. For Hezbollah, Hamas, and other terrorist anti-semetic organizations, any "negotiated cease fire" is simply a strategic move...a temporary pause in an ongoing war, part of the "long view" of the historic struggle for the destruction of the Jewish state. They believe they will win because, in thier own words, "the Jews love life and we love death."

You can argue that what Israel is doing presently is not the best way to achieve their goal of peaceful co-existence in the long run (and others may legitimately disagree...there are good arguments on both sides), but anyone who argues that peace is not Israel's ultimate goal is either a fool or a liar.

[Clarkie1]

36. I agree with both of those statements. nt
