I'm thinking Syria's "can of whoop" is probably more of a shot glass of sissy slap.
Unfortunately Syrias "can of whoop" contains bigger and more advanced missiles than hezballah is currently using , plus they have chemical/biological warheads for those missiles .
Why do you think Israel is being very careful to not bomb the wrong side of the border .
And while assad has big problems with two main domestic terrorist groups , the biggest and most dangerous one is an offshoot of the wonderful group that Hamas is an offshoot of .
So before some people start saying silly things like ...They need an ass-kicking--if not by us, then definately by the Israelis.....it might just be an idea to engage the brain first .
Yep Assad is a tosspot , but who comes after ?
You already had yay get rid of Arafat .....oh bugger its Hamas , yay get rid of Saddam .......oh bugger its the Iranian Islamic revolutionary council .
So forget all the kick ass BS.
Think ...... it ain't that hard to do (or is it ) .
