Syrian state news agency SANA says Israeli jets have bombed the Mezzeh military airport west of Damascus, accusing Tel Aviv of supporting terrorism. The airport was rocked by multiple explosions, with ambulances rushing to the scene.
The Syrian Arab Army has warned that there will be repercussions for Israel for the “flagrant attack” on the military base, state TV said, citing a Syrian army command spokesman. It also linked the alleged strike to Israel’s “support of terrorist groups.”

That conflict is ageless. Bad idea to take either side in it, I'm afraid.
It's the Intel Community that's stirring the pot. Have been at least since Ollie North embarrassed Reagan.
Maybe that's why Trump has his crosshairs so obviously lined up on 'em.
And remember, it's the State Dept that runs CIA OPs.

Trump is pro-Israel and Israel being Israel takes advantage of the opportunity. While everyone discusses everything but Syria its obvious the stakes are high.
Brzezinski is not only the architect of the mujahadin-led campaign against Russia in Afghanistan in the 1980s, but also, the author of "The Grand Chessboard--American Primacy and its Geostrategic Imperatives", the operating theory behind “the war on terror” which involves massive US intervention in Central Asia to control vital resources, fragment Russia, and surround manufacturing giant, China.
"The Grand Chessboard" is the 21st century's version of the Great Game. The book begins with this revealing statement:
"Ever since the continents started interacting politically, some five hundred years ago, Eurasia has been the center of world power.....The key to controlling Eurasia is controlling the Central Asian Republics."
This is the heart-and-soul of the war on terror. The real braintrust behind "never-ending conflict" was actually focussed on Central Asia. It was the pro-Israeli crowd in the Republican Party that pulled the old switcheroo and refocussed on the Middle East rather than Eurasia. Now, powerful members of the US foreign policy establishment (Brzezinski, Albright, Holbrooke) have regrouped behind the populist "cardboard" presidential candidate Barack Obama and are preparing to redirect America's war efforts to the Asian theater. Obama offers voters a choice of wars not a choice against war.

Syria will do nothing. If they were they wouldn't warn Israel. Typical of punks, talk tough and do nothing. Typical of these types.

Because the Russians helped the Syrians in Allepo in the North doesn't mean the battle to make Assad go is over.
Israel picking up some slack...

He has always shown his love for Israel, what I can understand is where this claim that he is pro-Saudi is coming from. Thats new to me, and I would like to see some corroboration.
