The US seems to have abandoned its damage control over condemning Syria earlier this week of providing Hezbollah with Scud missiles, a claim they later admitted probably wasn’t actually true. Now, they’re back in attack mode.
An unnamed senior official in the State Department today chastised Syria for providing a “wider array” of missiles to Hezbollah, though he was careful to avoid any specific details of what sort of missiles they are supposed to be.
The official also explicitly ducked the question of Scuds, saying only that it was something “to watch carefully.” Israel made the allegation last week, and it was seized upon by the Obama Administration immediately, and only later did they attempt to find out if it was true.
On Wednesday the State Department even claimed that “all options are on the table” with respect to retaliating against Syria for the Scuds, though by this point it was already increasingly obvious that they had no evidence.
Hey Folks,Israel LIES as the day is long.
Yellowcake from Niger prior to catastrophic Iraq invasion orginated with Israel.
Forged and fed to western Intel. agencies.Sure got feckless US congress onboard real quick.
The question now is Iran next and then Syria I bet.
The pattern and culprit is easy to see for them that look.
When you think about it, "all options are on the table" is a safe and logical response for people who don't actually know what is happening. . . because they haven't mastered the elemental skill of finding their own backsides with both hands behind their backs.
Scud missiles are not toyes to hide ,to be operational they have to be deployed where every flying bird can see them. So, if Hezbollah has the ability to operate such equipment then be it since logic is the missing link in Israel.Why all this uproar for a third rate missile when Israel stocks hundreds of nuclear warheads with no one dare to open his mouth.Without giving Palestinians their State,the region will continue to move steadly toward disaster.
