Report: Israel gives Syria ultimatum



London-based Arabic language newspaper Al-Hayat says Israel gave Syria 72 hours to stop Hizbullah?s activity, bring about release of kidnapped IDF troops. ?Israel will not end military activity until new situation created that will prevent Syria, Iran from using terror organizations to threaten its security,? newspaper quotes Pentagon official as saying

The London-based Arabic language newspaper Al-Hayat reported Saturday that ?Washington has information according to which Israel gave Damascus 72 hours to stop Hizbullah?s activity along the Lebanon-Israel border and bring about the release the two kidnapped IDF soldiers or it would launch an offensive with disastrous consequences.

Im not sure - Israel havnt exactly been holding back - why not be upfront about this as well?

The rhetoric is swinging away from Lebanon to Iran and Syria though - Im looking at flights to NZ just in case.

And the Pentagon is considering "evacuating" Americans in Lebanon. Historically, that has been Pentagon-speak for getting boots on the ground (Grenada).

Lieberman: Damascus must realize it will pay price

Israel Our Home Chairman Avigdor Lieberman told Ynet,

If we will have to act against (Syrian President Bashar) Assad we will, without aerial acrobatics.

Damascus must understand that it will pay the ultimate price,hahaha8221; he said. (Aviram Zino)

------------------------------------------

What is the ultimate price?

It will always be a messy situation there until the haves and have nots get more in sync.

more problems for them, less will be left for us . I think in this conflict hard to say who is right, who not:)

It is very easy to say who is wrong or who is right.:pimp

Its interesting that Sky News seems to be suggesting that they have already hit Syria but Isreal are denying it......

No....you can say only your opinion, but not who is right :winkwink:

Is anyone ever right or wrong in politics? There are just winners and losers.

lets just drop a bunch of laptops and hook them up with a broadband satelite, would probably be cheaper and more effective then bombs

Yep...:Oh crap

People that kill woman, men, and children in purpose are murderess, many will agree that this is a good idea to stop such people....

War's that happen because of greed or ideology are wrong but wars that are fought to protect innocent people are different... :pimp

But when people protecting they wifes, they kill they enemy wifes :)

maybe but then again we can't allow innocent people to be killed because some one does not like thier ideology or color or nationality.
Its like to say that arresting some one who did a crime is wrong since it can heart his family:upsidedow

great... the zionist scumbags are insane!

ok... someone needs to step up and put an end to this.

all this war crap

its going down....

Explain it to me because I'm totally lost.

:/

............

Going to be an interesting second half of the year for sure.

So who is innocent??

Noone is Innocent

:)

make it stop....

this is gonna be a long and bloody fight
mark my words

Previous Israeli governments were led by experienced Military war trained leaders (Rabin, Barak, Sharon) that knew first hand the destructive nature of a military conflict. They all tried to make peace and spare its younger generations of wars and military conflicts.

Current leadership in Israel has none of that. They'll be more ruthless in a need to prove themselves and will not spare much to achieve Israel's goals.

Can someone tell me what is a valid reason for striking Lebanon's Power stations and fuel depots ?

I can understand all the other targets and they all have a good reason, but why power stations ??

Because despite what you have heard this is full on war.

The first rule is 'render your openonent defensless'

I guess they took out the power stations in those areas where there are good targets.

When/If they attack communication (TV/Radio/Tele), then the invasion will begin.

yup, its a part of war.

The U.S. needs to keep their mouth shut, and out of this. Let the Isreali's handle it. If the U.S. gets in on this with the Isreali's, then you can expect all hell to break loose.
