Syria and Iran have been close allies for almost 30 yrs, so this changes nothing.

What if Iranian scientist give or build Syria a nuclear bomb  :D guess who'd be crying then.

israel and the middle east would be crying...it won't effect the US much....but the fall out of such threats would more than likely lead to a war that neither syria or iran has any chance of winning

O.G. Techniec:
The Iranians are at least 3-4 years away from a nuclear weapon, and assuming they get it, theirs no way in the modern climate any type of nuclear transaction can be done.

israel believes they are 6 months away.  i believe the cia has them pegged at about a year out.

Im not sure what you mean by redoubling their terrorist efforts. Iran and Syria have been co ordinating terrorist activities for over 2 decades.

i mean significantly increasing.

Basically this news changes nothing, its the same situation.

it's not quite the same situation.  it implies that u.s. aggression against either (targetted bombing of nuclear facilities in iran) could lead to direct arming and clashes with u.s. troops in iraq on two fronts.  the u.s. is building permanent military bases in iraq as well as in qatar and elsewhere in the region.  syria and iran can't defeat the u.s., but they can certainly weaken the u.s. presence in the region as a whole and in iraq in particular.

the u.s. military options in the region with regards to either syria or iran seem weakened by this move.

King Tech Quadafi:
1. The year Ive constantly seen brandied about is 2008 , could be wrong tho
2. Syrian/Iranian "redoubling" of efforts means 5 Kutyashas crashing into a random northern Israeli forest,. instead of 3. Iranian/Syrian support of terrorism has no feasible military objective, its symbolic just in its existence
3. Again, youre assuming that a Syrian/Iranian joint attack on American troops in Iraq is being discussed. That aint happenin. Even if it did, the Syrians would get knocked the fuck out.

THIS NEWS CHANGES NOTHING.

ARYC:
well if Syria and Iran both attack american bases in Iraq , the americans can bomb Iran from Afghanistan and the gulf , as for syria there the weaker of the two but the Americans have bases in Turkey that they can use to bomb Syria + if push comes to shove Israel can jump in and invade Syria and take the opportunity to weaken the hizzbullah.

So yeah Syria and Iran surround american bases in Iraq but america surrounds them via Turkey , the gulf and Afghanistan.



"potential syria-al qaeda ties every 6 months."

I'm pretty sure that Bin Laden use to be in Syria before he went to Afghanistan.

turkey wouldn't let the americans use their bases to bomb iraq.  you think they'd let them use the bases against syria and iran?

i doubt that.

bin laden was in sudan before afghanistan, not syria.  the syrians are baathists like iraq was.  bin laden considers baathists socialist dogs.
