Assad: Syria will shower Tel Aviv with rockets if attacked by foreign powers

[Martinus]

He's a dictator and the son of a dictator, they don't tend to turn out well 

What about North Kore... oh wait.

Hey, Assad, the early nineties called: they want their idea back.

Shame the Turko-Israeli alliance blew up.

Hey, Turkey was sabre-rattling at Israel recently. Maybe they can have a three-way war. 

Not nearly as much fun as other sorts of three-ways, but hey, its the middle east.

I doubt Iran would be willing to declare war on the US by assaulting US ships.  But an Israeli-Syrian-Turkish War would make for interesting war gaming.  I'm guessing Damascus would be the battleground between the Israeli and Turkish forces.

Shows that the Syrian President is feeling the heat pretty badly now from all sides, to be making these statements, IMO.

If the enemy of my enemy is my friend, does this have the potential to create friendship between Syrian democrats and Israel?

I doubt it. I rather suspect the only reason an Assad is still in power in Syria is Israel does not believe any alternative would reveal itself an improvement.

I don't think Israel has much say who runs Syria.  I could see Assad attacking Israel in a last ditch effort to rally his people against an external enemy.  The biggest threat is that he sees what happened to Mubarak and thinks "Well if I'm going to die, I'm going to take all you mother fuckers with me", and fires chemical weapons at Israel resulting in the glassing of Damascus.

I sorta get the impression Dictator Jr. keeps frantically pushing the button that says "if in trouble or doubt, make threatening gestures at Israel, signed, Dad" and muttering to himself "it always worked before ... "
