Syrian Ambassador to Jordan Bahjat Suleiman has warned in an interview earlier this week that Syria is prepared to attack Israel’s nuclear weapons facilities in retaliation for any Israeli attack, and that he believes the sites could be destroyed with just 20 missiles.
“What the Zionists have, nuclear weapons-wise, could cause us major casualties should they attack Syria. In contrast, we could cause massive losses to their nuclear facilities and we wouldn’t need more than 20 missiles,” Suleiman told a press delegation.
Suleiman reportedly went on to say that Syria would never be the one to start a war with Israel, but that they would “not stand idly by” if attacked. Israeli officials raised the possibility of attacking Syria and trying to capture their chemical weapons and most advanced conventional weapons last month.
Though it does not publicly acknowledge them, Israel is known to have a significant arsenal of nuclear weapons. The exact size of this arsenal is not known, but is estimated to include a few hundred warheads.
Well…what is Syria waiting for then? Yallah yallah. If they're gonna go down, they may as well take the snake down with them.

Did you ever wonder way much of the world hates Israel?
And no, its got nothing to do with the fact that they are Jewish.
*cough* foreign *cough* policies *cough*
Although the U.S. foreign policies are much worse, but they also have great PR. And Hollywood plays wonders on the masses.
Do you know what the over generalization fallacy is? Probably not, and I'm not in the mood to polish turds today. If I were to follow your logic, I should say, after reading the posts at Yahoo for example, that the people of the US are the most violent rabid psychopaths.
"Yallah yallah"
Hahaha i guess you're spent some time in the middle-east?
I agree with you, in fact attacking Israel could save Assad's government. As the rebels would hold off fighting Assad and focus on Israeli retaliation.
Of course there's the likely chance that the U.S. would come in defense of the Zionist-State-of-Israel and then Iran in defense of Assad, and the Gulf states in defense of the rebels/activists.
I read in my daily news paper to-day, that US and Nato troops with the backing of Israel are poised at the borders of Syria to attack chemical and other WMD sides within Syria. To do this would require a force of some 70,000 men. I wonder if Syria in that case would retaliate by destroying Israeli nuclear facilities ?
What action would you take when the wolves is at you door "israel/america"
they could shot off rockets for a very long time even while being invaded. Libya was a cake walk because they got the no fly zone. Syria still has an air force which might be dated but so were the jap attacks towards the end of WWII. I could end up with thousands killed quickly and that will destroy the lie of our superior in weapons. The USA military had to kill tens of thousand rebels in the philipines. They fought with knives They still were not 100 percent beaten in 1941 when the USA was kicked out by the japs
Is mor complicated then this, you want the truth look at your gas prices is just going up by the hour now instead of weekly last months. Yet one needs to know that Paul Wolfowitz the father of all US zionism doctrine hand in hand with a democratic president (Bill Clinton) started all this, then again look at your gas prices.., would you think for a minute that if Israel attacked Iran or NAT 70.000 troops on the alert in Mediterranean sea and Germany or Kuwait for that matter started attacking Syrian your gas prices would go down.., on the contrary, in a matter of weeks people would be on the street from Manhattan to Los Angeles, from Paris to London and Berlin fighting for food and water, that is one of the reasons for these people not to start the 3rd ww that is. But then again, stupid do and stupid dose.
US and EU without Israel will not attack any country in the middle east, that is a promise given by Barack Hussein Obama, David Cameron of England and France Holland, that is because if there is a war then every nation on the act will attack Israel one way or the other.
They are just saying it because they don’t want to be the first to start the war, and that should give all the right reason for US and EU to stop their stupidity wanting to invade Syria or start a war with Iran asking for Israel help.
Iran is playing possum for years now she is nuclear capable and has set things in place to counteract any or all america/israel/european union measures. this goes back as far as 1953.
Syria is Iran friend and I do belive if attacked by Israel just like Iran Syria would target all the illegal nucular sites in Israel,and leave Israel a wast land.Israel has not attacked Iran and possibly Syria because they know their state will be no more.Amadinajhad never thretend to wipe Israel of the map,so any politician whitch is most are liers and no it when they claim that's what he said.The real interpitation has nothing to do with destroying Israel witch would be easy considering it's much smaller than Ontario Canada,but that the regime would disapear from the pages of history like what happened to the USSR.So any president or politician saying such things is a lier and should be kicked out of office for good and if it's to start a war they should be charged with inciteing violence.Because the fact is they all know what the real interpitation means,it's easy anyone that speeks the lauguage could and has shown the wipe Israel of the map is a lie.Such scum bags all that use that lie to start a war that could end up killing billions if not all humains.
As I have pointed out many times before, this game goes far beyond the Middle East. Israel is a fully armed nuclear power with ambitions of targeting, not only Iran or Syria or any other neighbor, but Russia itself. It is clearly documented by the great investigative reporter Seymour Hersh in his unbelievably revealing book "The Samson Option". A little logic will tell us that this is the reason that Israel would keep an arsenal of over one hundred warheads, way too much to use in its own neighborhood less it becomes itself engulfed in nuclear fallout.
And they claim the Iranians are the "crazy" ones. That's a laugh.
Russia still has a helluva lot more nukes than Israel does. In the Samson Option Israel will have to divide up their 300-400 nukes between Europe, the Middle East, including Iran, in addition to Russia. Russia will turn Israel into a glass parking lot. Regardless, it would still be World War III.
