John,..
well done, your getting the pieces of the jigsaw together, but it appears the federal government failed to send you a copy of the script..

catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor.

On the Israeli equivalent, A report entitled "A Clean Break - A New strategy for securing the Realm"

Israel can shape its strategic environment, in cooperation with Turkey and Jordan, by weakening, containing, and even rolling back Syria. This effort can focus on removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq — an important Israeli strategic objective in its own right — as a means of foiling Syria’s regional ambitions.

Israel should:
> "...FOCUS ON REMOVING SADDAM HUSSEIN
> from power in Iraq —
> an important Israeli strategic objective in its own right"
> "strik[e] Syrian military targets in Lebanon,
> and should that prove insufficient, strik[e]
> at select targets in Syria proper. "

March 29, 2003 Clean Break:
WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld issued a stern warning to Syria on Friday to stop sending military equipment to Iraqi forces, saying such shipments have included night-vision goggles. "We consider such trafficking as hostile acts and will hold the Syrian government responsible for the incidents," Rumsfeld said at a Pentagon (news - web sites) briefing.
"There's no question but that to the extent that military supplies or equipment or people are moving across the borders between Iraq (news - web sites) and Syria, it vastly complicates our situation," Rumsfeld said. Asked if the United States was threatening military action against Syria, Rumsfeld said: "I'm saying exactly what I'm saying. It was carefully phrased." |
