Assad warns of ‘strategic, not local’ reply to IDF strikes
Assad warns of ‘strategic, not local’ reply to IDF strikes | JPost | Israel News.
( Threats and more threats. In the meantime he begs Israel not to hurt his tanks in the Golan. Bluster is a euphemism. – JW )
The Syrian president told a group of visiting Jordanians that the resistance will not launch primitive rockets aimlessly from time to time, but a well-planned and continuous resistance.
His mention of randomly fired rockets could be a slap at Hamas, which often relies on this tactic when firing rockets from Gaza. Instead, he compared this resistance to the kind waged by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, according to the report.
In regard to Russia, Assad explained that they did not try at any point of the conflict to dictate any position on the country.
Assad told Al-Manar TV at the end of May a similar plan, stating that “there is pressure by the people to open a new front on the Golan.”
“Even among the Arab world there is a clear readiness to join the fight against Israel,” he added in his interview with the Hezbollah TV station.
Assad stated that Hezbollah is involved in fighting the Israeli enemy and its agents in Syria and Lebanon. He attributed the failure of the Syrian opposition to its dependence on outside funding and said that it failed to create a real rift in the country.
Assad also said that he sees the balance of power in Syria shifting to the government’s side. And this despite the fact that the “terrorists” – how Assad refers to the rebels – are smuggling fighters and weapons through all of the borders.
In relation to Israel, he said, “If we want to respond to Israel, the response must be strategic.”

Apparently Assad realizes opening another front with Israel would be suicidal. Meanwhile he’s got to appear strong to his supporters as well as his enemies.

For those who remember Erich Honecker.
The sun rises in the east. Erich rises from his sleep.
Erich: “Good morning sun.”
Sun: “Good morning, dear Erich.”
Erich goes to the Politbüro.
At noon he goes out at the balkony where he greets the sun.
Erich: “Hello my dear sun.”
Sun: “Hello, dear Erich”.
Erich makes siesta and wakes up at sunset.
Again he greats the sun.
Erich: “Good afternoon, dear sun.”.
No answer.
Erich: “Good afternoon, dear sun.”..
Again, no answer.
Erich: “Sun, can’t you hear me?.”.
Sun: “Kiss my ass. I’m in the West now!”.

I wonder what Mr. Putin told Mr. Netahyahu, because since the latter’s visit to the Kremlin, there has not been any Israeli attack on Syria.
June 12, 2013 at 7:32 PM
Maybe he told him: “You can bomb Iran if I can have Syria.”
