Here is my humble prediction:

All this talk of a ceasefire, foreign peacekeepers, removal of Hizbollah is just part of the long-term political strategy to pursue conflict in Syria. These are precursors to military action in Syria.

I think the whole Beirut bombing was just to try to overtly instigate Syrian involvement and we may see these instigations over the next few weeks.

Having failed that, the long-term strategy will be opted for.

Things haven't come full circle yet, but learning from all the years of sanctions, foreign inspectors, no-fly zones, this is essentially the same thing we saw in Iraq.... '91-2003 was less than 14 years.......Syria-Ops will commence in shorter time frame.

Deja Vu all over again.

Perhaps Israel/US want Lebanon to be a base for staging operations in the future against Syria.

If Syria terminates support for Hizbollah that will be the end of it as far as Syria is concerned. But if Syria continues to support violent actors who are directing their violence against the US or Israel, then Syria is going to be brutalized. It's as simple as that. Assad can have peace if he wants it. What he can not have is violent confrontation with Israel or the US while at the same time sparing Damascus.

Similar to how there wouldn't have been war if Saddam had listened to last-minute diplomacy demands on the eve of the Iraq invasion.

Come on man, that was the diplomatic spin........things are not decided in the UN.

Saddam was going down - one way or another. Syria knows it is skating on thin ice. We have told them so.

So there you have it. Syria doesn't have anything anyone else wants - like oil for example. So if they leave their neighbors alone, and stop supporting non-state actors, then there won't be a problem. Eventually they might even haggle back control of a good part of the Golan. But if they act like a$$holes, then Damascus is going to be hit. Simple as that.

It is no secret that the current US foreign policy is a wirlwind at best and a mirage at worst, it's led by a moron who doesn't know what 2 + 2 and a house niggress but when you are debating with someone in regards to that doomed policies, you need someone with your caliber not the likes of Mad Mac. Mad Mac is a kitchen soldier whose thinking is done for him by the TV and his superiors, what do you expect.

Mad bush cow



why am not surprized u just speaking like ur Bush cow boss?

U just exposing ur cowardness here .if this...if that...if what........If any one is going 2 b brutalized is going 2 b the Evil united n their Zionist friens.........u c n watch

OK, don't take my word for it. Just don't start whining when Damascus goes down.

The whole Arab/Muslim world might go down according to your own definition...but I dont see Americans celebrating on the streets by being victorious in Bagdad.

You might win some battles, but the war(esp. Bush's war) is un-winnable....unless other ppl's concerns are taken into serious consideration.and every body knows what I mean by that.... Change your foreing policy and the future might be rosy for all of us.

This is pretty much the truth. I don't see anyone being really interested in a conflict with Syria, nothing to be gained. Except MAYBE a lil more peace of mind for the jews. But Cawar's statement is quite valid. I don't see Yanks rejoicing over the perceived American "victory" over Iraq.
