Syrian Threats

The chinless wonder still hasn't recovered from those Israeli jets that flew over his summer palace while he was there ten days ago. So tonight, Assad has apparently sent one of his MP's to warn Israel that next time, he will know how to respond (yes, the parody of the wimpy Ehud Barak quote is intentional).

According to reports, the Israeli flyover deeply embarrassed the Syrians, and officials are now seriously contemplating military action against Israel.

"If Israel carries out further stupidities inside Syria, the Golan front will not remain as it is. Many Israelis will suffer as they suffered attacks from Southern Lebanon when they conducted acts of foolishness there," Parliament Member Muhammad Habash said in a television interview this week.

"Syria's devotion to peace as a strategic option since the Madrid Conference does not mean that this will remain the only option forever. The Syrians have other options as well," he stated.

The MP did not rule out the possibility that Syrian cells will launch a "liberation war" and "resistance" in the Golan Heights territory keeping with the tradition of the Fedayeen (armed militias).

Syria has no air force to speak of. But what they do apparently have is Saddam's weapons of mass destruction. With no means of delivery. Watch for Hezbullah terrorists with nuclear, biological and chemical warfare backpacks up north.
