Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem crossed into Lebanon Sunday for the first visit by a top Syrian official in more than a year, Lebanon’s state news agency said. Speaking to reporters after the meeting with his Lebanese counterpart, Fawzi Salloukh, Moallem said “Syria is ready for the possibility of a regional war if the Israeli aggression continues.”
Because Syria has been so successful in other regional wars.
BTW, the Syria order of battle doesn’t exactly make me nervous. A couple of aging Soviet fighters for an air force, plus poorly maintained tanks arranged in a static border defense. Somewhere out there in the great unknown, Moshe Dayan is drumming his fingers together, whispering “excellent.”
