Hard to believe that the Syrian leader, while on the back foot in a war to remove him has been graciously moving serious weapons from Iran to Lebanon, but stranger things have happened I suppose.

V poor from the BBC. Why not just link to the IDF press release and cut out the middleman?

"these latest air strikes underscore Israel's equal worry about sophisticated conventional weapons being passed to Hezbollah. This includes sophisticated anti-aircraft missiles, anti-shipping missiles, or accurate long-range ground-to-ground missiles. Such concerns are longstanding.

Israeli military analysts are already warning of the danger of war,(Remember Gaza )  as what promises to be a long hot summer fast approaches"Some four years ago, the then Israeli government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned that it would not tolerate what it called "game-changing" weapons being transferred to Hezbollah"

Olmert was behind white phosphorous bombing in Gaza. Game changing.
Israel needs the freedom to bomb the crap of the neighbours whenever it fancies.

Whatever the Americans say is usually the truth. So if the Americans are saying that Assad is using them, then that's good enough for me.

What are your views on Syria ? You seem well disposed toward Assad. Do you see him as a despot or a bulwark against Israeli hegemony ?

He is a tyrant. I am sure his reign will shortly end, which will be a good thing. However it seems odd that he would be dealing in serious 'game-changing' weapons with another country while his grip on his own country might benefit from such weapons.

What a pity the "democratic freedom loving" Western powers didn't give as much help the the Freedom marchers in Bahrein as they did in Libya and Syria?

Cake is mobilising as we speak. Freedom's greatest weapon.

Everyone is dunging their trousers at the prospect of having to fall out in the Middle East. Britain has refused and the American general public are filling them.
