On The Road to WWIII: Syria Building up It's Arsenal

The Syrians know what's coming - war with Israel. This explains their rapid build-up:

Syria has embarked on an "unprecedented" effort to bolster its armed forces with Iranian and Russian help, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported Thursday.

Damascus has large numbers of surface-based missiles and long-range rockets, including the Scud-D, capable of reaching nearly any target in Israel, the report said, and the Syrian navy has received new Iranian anti-ship missiles.

The greatest danger is that a general war in the Middle East would involve Russia. There is no question that Israel, with the blessing of the neocon White House in the States, has a green light to destroy Syrian influence in the region. Since Russia is supplying the Syrians with missiles, this could cause the arrogant Israeli government to attack the supply lines leading to confrontation with the Russians. And we all know that a conflict between Russia and Israel would necessarily mean the U.S. would get involved on the side of the Jewish State.
