Have any of you wondered what will happen if the Congress turns Obama's demands/wishes down ?

A lot of anger and shouting between both sides, and then Obama will probably bomb anyway.

So basically, business as usual in America.

I have to laugh at the Syrian Foreign Minister, who says if they are attacked, Syria could lash out at Turkey and Israel. My question for that jerk would be, what kind of response do you think you would get from Turkey and Israel? There aren't a lot of Christians living in either country, so I don't think turning the other cheek would apply in this situtation!

If he do, what do you think could happen next ? Yes Israel and Turkey will of course response, what else?

Markus, I don't want it to go that far, but the idea that Syria could attack Turkey and Israel without those 2 countries fighting back is ignorant. The Syrian army is in no shape to fight them both. Iran is a lot of talk I think, they are in no shape to fight a war so far away from Iran itself. Hezbollah could be a problem for a while, but without air support, Israel would win in the end.

But as I said, I don't want to see any of this happen. Its just my opinion, means about as much as everyone elses for that matter. None of us really knows how things are going to go over there, just have to wait and see.

Even I could be wrong. What Syria hopes going to happen when Israel returns fire is that all the other Muslim country will join them and attack Israel.

Most likely scenario:

Some fraction i Syria that support Assad makes some attacks against some area in Israel. The same goes for those fractions in Lebanon

Very unlikely scenario
Assad gives the order to his general...

And you are right, we can only wait and see. I too hope nothing bad is going to happen

I agree Markus, I hope not but no one controls all the different factions in Syria or Lebanon.
