Way to go IAF! Undetected, on target, and unscathed. Who (besides Tom
Cooper) actually believes Israel doesn't have the will, ability, and
guts to attack any target in the region that threatens the security of
the Jewish State?
This raid, although small, definately woke Syria up yesterday to the
fact that state sponsored terrorism won't be ignored by Israel. Iran
should take notes as they're next on the list...

Are you nuts, Rob?

Not at all. Have you been reading the Jewish papers for the past year?
Israel has repeatedly warned Syria about financing terrorism in Israel
and smuggling weapons and IJ infiltrators into the country. Israel has
also stated publically that they will never allow the Iranian nuclear
program to go forward to the point where a bomb could be constructed.
Both the Iranian reactor and the other underground installations are
targets. The reactor can be hit from the air while covert Israeli
agents will sabotage the other elements of the program. Since we are
nearing that deadline, I'd side with Israel which has kept its
promises threat-wise to any hostile nation that dare present danger to
the Jewish State. And since the US supports Israel, I'd say that could
be interpreted as a greenlight by Sharon.
Sharon has already consulted with President Bush on the Iranian
nuclear program and the threat it is to Israel. The US is keeping up
the diplomatic pressure but militarily is bogged down in Iraq. Israel
is going to have to strike Iran alone. I doubt the US will restrain
them. They can live through UN/World condemnation. They've done it
before.
BTW, why the support for Syria? They are a true enemy of peace and
proven terror state. Israel should have hit Damascus as well...
