Assad says Israel likely to attack Syria


DAMASCUS, Syria, Sept. 21 (UPI) -- Syrian President Bashar Assad told a Lebanese newspaper that he believes Israel will use Syria's supposed ties to Iran to attack his country.

In an interview with As-Safir, Assad said he believes that Israel's leaders need a new military operation because they are in a political crisis.

"Syria will resist, stand strong and never give in," he said.

The leadership of Israel's Kadima Party is divided on negotiating with Syria, the Jerusalem Post reported. In August, Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter said that he supports trading withdrawal from the Golan Heights for a permanent peace agreement but Prime Minister Ehud Olmert disagrees.

"I am the last person who will say I want to negotiate with Syria," Olmert said, calling Syria "the single most aggressive country of the axis of evil."

1. Well now maybe we''ll get
to see just how far the boy king's gratitude goes, personally IMHO he was the one that told Israel to back off Syria and go for a "softer" target last summer, if only as a test of what kind of force could be brought to bear against Israel and the Chimpster does owe Syria.

2. Well, now that the Pentagon has started planning for attacking Iran,
I can see Israel taking the cue and attacking Syria at the same time. A double whammy, so to speak. This, of course, will start WWIII. All sides will blame the other for aggression and Bush will have his October Surprise, while Israel gets the snot beat out of it on all sides (while they level Syria and America bombs Iran back into the Stone Age).

Better yet, how bout we all sitdown and discuss thing in a rational and mature manure? HAHAHA! Sorry bad joke, I know humans cannot do such things. Goes against our killing nature. No profit in peace.
