Siria is just waiting the good moment to "come" back to lebanon after having been kicked out.

Syria is saber rattling. They know that their finaincial and military support of Hezbollah has not gone unnoticed by the rest of the world so if they actually jump in they risk loosing more than just a guerilla force.

I agree. Syria has nothing to gain, and everything to lose by involvement. Currently, they will only lose a guerilla army, and one that does not, technically, belong to them. The Syrian army has no chance of victory against the Israelis, especially with the US providing them with smart weapon technology. They just want to be heard, and avoid significant troubles.

Can anyone make an educated guess on how much of it's precision ammunition the Isaraelis have used during the lebaon operation so far? There was a news report saying that they urged the US to speed up a planned delvery of smart bombs. I do not assume it, because dedicated anti-tank-ammunition is not that much used up in Lebanon, but can it be ruled out that the Lebanon operation does not eat up so much ammunition that maybe Israel will fave Syria in a somewhat weakened condition of itself? How is Israels potetial towards Syria influenced by the current rate of using bombs and artillery ammunition in Lebanon?

they are bombing the roads adn bridges that are used for logistical support from Syria. Weapons tansports. An analyst on radio said that first it was the major road that leads from Lebanon to Syria only. when the Hezbollah activities shifted to use alternate routes, the bombing follwed them. The logic of war.

I heard on the radio that Syria is gearing up for war according to some American guy. Sorry all I did not hear it all, no I don't know what this American guy did, for all I know he could be a general or just joe public. I am not convinced about Syria, most likely they want their bit of action on the world media stage.
