The Syria Thread: Everything you wanted to know or say about it

[MHz]

Got something from this week?
A good example of why tanks don't work. you need something smaller, say like a 14.5 mm machine gun, or few. Quick targeting the spot the rocket was fired from would eliminated the 2nd shot capability.

Is he really saying, 'They shot me just to make this look real. How does that line from Gbush go about aid and comfort to the enemy?

Or what MHz would describe as an SUV with an attached sniper rifle.

Little low to be a 'sniper's nest', more like he swung around a few times and the crowd dispersed. Now 'they ' just walk up to you and politely ask you vacate the area, and the area gets vacated, .... I'm thinking the crew escaped.

IDF forces struck a number of Syrian military and security targets connected to the blast that injured four Israeli soldiers on Tuesday, the IDF Spokesman said early on Wednesday.

The targets, which included military headquarters, artillery batteries and a training base belonging to the Syrian military, "enabled and aided in the carrying out of [Tuesday's] terror attacks," the statement read. "The IDF retains the right to act in any way and at any time it sees fit to protect the citizens of Israel."

The Syrian army said the Israeli airstrikes were a "desperate attempt to escalate and worsen the situation" and divert attention from Damascus' advancements on the battlefront, especially the military's capture last weekend of a key rebel stronghold near the Lebanese border.

Exactly where in this vid does it show any damage to the vehicle?

More Israeli Airstrikes! Where is that impregnable Syrian Air Defense Network that you were bragging about... bragging about before Israel started air strikes at their will and leisure.

The war is now in it's 3rd year today. Happy Anniversary!

Everyday Israel tries to entice Lebanese forces to retaliate, they will get their wish at the right time. Not long to wait now.

If I was to list the losses the US/Israeli rebels have suffered recently it would take more than a full page.

DB that day will come when the bailout on the USD ends American support for anybody let alone Israel, then watch them be in a scramble to make peace with everybody in the neighborhood. Since that would include the right to return that will make Jews in Israel the minority and that means they lose all the elections for the next 20 years (or so) and all the settlers (invaders really) in the disputed territory will be evicted and they could be taken over by new arrivals (after disposing of all the booby traps) and Syria would get the Golan Heights back and should Syria desire an few S-400 systems in the area I'm sure Russia has some sort of lend/lease option open for them. The Saudi regime will get hit with a $50B reconstruction bill as well as a much larger one for all the refugees and others who have been 'injured' in the last 3 years. How long was the US in Afghanistan and Iraq and they have yet to be declared the winner in either of those two places.

Oh the rebels (Al Queda, FSA, and other extremists) are taking huge losses for sure. And yet they keep coming from all over. Adding more meat to the grinder... the long slow grind.

I'm sure there's a downside to that, but damned if I can think what it is.

You must live in Texas? That is the only place that could miss the importance of Syria. Just like the importance of the Alamo and Texans are the replacements that never came.

Wrong.

I'm sure you said something else, but I quit reading after the above. I mean, when you start out that wrong, there's very little hope you'll improve.

I've been trying to as well.

Al Qaeda setting off car bombs in Hezbollah neighborhoods... Hezbollah executing Al Qaeda Commanders... FSA vs SSA... FSA and Al Qaeda fighting ISIL. SSA fighting everyone. Israel bombing whoever and whenever. WOW!

Oh... I made a mistake... four year anniversary of the war... again... Happy Anniversary!

 

[MHz]

Wrong.

That noise you hear is a collective cheer from Texans.

You didn't miss much unless you enjoy nonsensical babble.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Heh-heh. Syrian barbecue. Nice.

 

[BaalsTears]

Didn't Obama say he was going to arm the FSA et al.? How's that going?

I hope he's selling arms to both sides.

Rebels feeding on themselves, why would I object to that happening. Hezbullah killing the rebels is the reason for the terrorism in Lebanon.
Sad that you can't even count correctly. Did an extra year add in extra inch to your war-woodie? (making for a grand total of 3")
