Syria declared a state of war and mobilized troops to neutralize “terrorists who threaten us,” Al-Quds newspaper reported Thursday evening.
Operation “Bayrak al-Assad” was implemented secretly, mobilizing full military forces in Syria for concentrated offensives on cities across the country, according to the report.
The military operation is a continuation of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s violent crackdown against pro-democracy activists which began in March.
The difference however, according to the Al-Quds report, is that with this declaration, Assad has declared that the state is no longer simply crushing terrorist elements during peacetime, but rather at war.

The problem is this world is so interconnected in crazy ways that Assad may have alot of difficulty if some errant psycho gets a little help from his Libyan brood and dumps a big one in Damascus.
Total power is not in the hands of just governments. A nutcase who gets a brief case can lift Damascus right off the map.
