this will be the story with everyone up in arms over it and the response. Russia, the US, Israel and the Muslim countries will all be on this. Kaboom, WWIII here we come. the entire region in chaos with civil wars in almost every country except Saudi Arabia and Iran.....

gonna be an ugly thing this.

At best it is going to ratchet tensions higher and higher with Israel poised to "defend itself" against all threats real or perceived. They are forcing everyone's hand here. Now everyone has to play what cards they got.............

crying for blood - it'll be ugly

The republicans to essentially break the news to extremely stupid people who watch that crap on Sunday Morning. And then carp on Sunday Morning. Pull another string on the Obama doll. "What should he do" "he should do something"

AND THE BEAT GOES ON.

Headline: "US believes Israel has conducted an airstrike into Syria"

But in the second paragraph:

"Based on initial indications, the U.S. does not believe Israeli warplanes entered Syrian airspace to conduct the strikes."



Not that it matters a hill of beans. If the wrong people decide Israel did strike within Syria, then regardless of the truth, things could get nasty very quickly.

It was one of those missiles that goes around corners.

There is still a strike reported, just not achieved with entering air space. The news feed makes that clear.

I read too quickly.

enter that country's airspace itself.

Of course, Israel did enter Lebanon's airspace without permission to carry this off, but unfortunately that's become commonplace and will be largely ignored.

are beating the war drums just like Israel. They want it soooooooooooo bad they can taste it. Gawd damn a Dem is in the WH, if only a GOPer was, the US would have boots on the ground right now, and yahooooooo, they can smell profits galore!

Honestly thats how I feel is what these assholes are praying for.

tinderbox indeed.

All the Occupy site have it and other people are posting as well. This is exactly what every one is afraid of.

...fyi

Israel has cost us enough already. I feel for Obama...there is no good response to this.

nt

to say he MUST "have Israel's back" and get involved.

I know. Unlikely. UGH UGH UGH

As long as we're not expected to jump in and finish that fight.

It is 'otherwise occupied' at the moment.

Evil Israel is trying to start WWIII by taking on those wonderful great great countries of Iran and Syria not to mention those freedom fighting hezbollah and hamas "activists".

Who do they think they are??

Thats right...the sky is falling.





dripping with sarcasm

BEIRUT — Israeli warplanes struck targets in the Syrian capital Sunday for the second time in three days, officials and activists said, unleashing a series of massive explosions and raising fears of possible wider conflict in the region.

The attacks, which Israeli officials said targeted sophisticated, Iranian-made guided missiles believed to be bound for Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group, marked a sharp spike in Israel's involvement in Syria's bloody civil war. Syrian state media reported that Israeli missiles struck a military and scientific research center near Damascus and caused casualties.

Syria's government called the attacks against its territory a "flagrant violation of international law" that has made the Middle East "more dangerous." It said "Israel should know that our people and state do not accept humiliation" and warned Syria has the right "to defend its people by all available means."
