Really? I'll admit I haven't read the whole thread, but that's not the impression I got from his posts. I didn't see the slightest indication that he was first, and foremost, worried about this primarily from the perspective of Israel.
I thought it was just an important news story. Violating another country's sovereignty is always tricky, especially in the volatile middle east. I'm sure this is all hush hush covert ops though, and the media won't be able to report much about it.
Israel can take care of itself. I'm more concerned with American lives and our complete withdrawl from Iraq. We're still in the midst of negotiating a timeline for us to leave Iraq... the way it looks, we may have to be out of iraq entirely by the end of 2008. Negotiations with the Shi'a have been extremely delicate and they will NOT like an invasion on Syrian soil. Syria has the right to respond militarily any way it wishes. If Mexico sent ground troops into Brownsville, believe me, it would matter. The fact the conservatives on this board aren't concerned about it is shocking.
Let me clear. The United States violated Syrian territory. US Ground forces stepped foot in Syria and killed Syrians. You can't just go into any country you wish with American lives and do whatever the hell you want.
Now, I will say that if these were high value operatives for Al Queda and this was a once in a lifetime chance to take them out, then that's another story. But if these were run of the mill "terrorists", you cannot just invade another country to kill them.
