    Well, Saddam tried the same thing during Gulf War and failed. I doubt that in such case IDF would cross Golan, at max IAF would preform some raids on Syrian army targets.

    I don't believe Israel will respond in such way that 'Free Syrian Army' would suddenly turn against Israel.

    Israeli response would only make Assad's enemies happy: more deserters would flee from Assad's army to the 'Free Syrian Army'.

    Israel might even consider to kill Assad himself.

    Well, there are a lot of reports by journalists which were with FSA either in Syria or Lebanon and they all say that if Ehud Olmert would wake up from his coma and offer them with weapons they would take them with thanks. And they certainly wouldn´t mind anyone bombing their enemy bases and armor. Alas Assad is saying for months that this is US-Zionist conspiracy and won no support from these statements, just most of Arabs are making fun of him (self-proclaimed vanguard of Israeli aggression who can´t even control his own country).

    He can work according to the sentence "Let me die with the Philistines". If the West will intervene ,for sure he will attack Israel-he will not have what to lose.

    If Israel will get involved it will harm them politically,We need to be honest about that. but if Israel will intervene ,it's only if he will attack us. They are not pro Israeli...I read that one of their leaders said that after they wil get rid of Assad ,they will mess with the Zionists...

    Al Qaeda comes from Lebanon to fight Assad? It's very possible because for them Alawites are not better than Jews and Christians...they consider Alawites as infidels and they might want to show "solidarity" with the Syrians.

    Yea Arm them to overthrow Assad.....years later they 'll go back to their tried and true nature...."death to America and Death to Zionists". Guess who they 'll be shooting with those weapons then?

    Besides, you drop these stories as "lots of reports", care to provide a source for this? not to mention the fact the Ehud Olmert isn't in coma.

    This is a report by a journalist that was in Idlib with defectors. He tries to analyze objectively their military capacity, determination, the increasing ethnical aspect of the conflict: http://www.jpost.com/Features/FrontL...aspx?id=259180

    Christians and Alawites not Syrians? Syrian church create Apostle Peter. You know, it was long before the emergence of Islam. However, in US think that Al Qaeda from Iraq, Saudi Arabi and Turkey is a true representative of Syria-fighters for freedom. Like the Muslim Brotherhood and Saalfisti to expel the ancient Christian Copts from Egypt.

    They are all in this thread. If it would be dedicated to news solely however it wouldn´t have 147 pages. If you want one of them

    http://www.time.com/time/world/artic...6648-2,00.html

    And yes, I mistook Omert for Sharon.

    Bytheway where exactly have I said "Arm them to overthrow Assad"?

    No..anyway,the West will not intervene ,so we don't need to be worried about Assad attacking Israel. As long as the West doesn't get involved,he will remain in power.
