Syria: “Israel Will Pay”
“Israel will pay the price for invading Syrian airspace,” warned Imad Moustapha, Syria’s Ambassador to the US, in an interview published in Newsweek Magazine, Saturday.
“The Israelis didn’t bomb anything. When they were detected by our defense systems and we started firing at them, they dumped fuel and turned around,” he said, adding that the Israeli bombs dropped by the Israeli Air Force, landed in open areas without causing any damage.
Responding to the reports saying that the IAF was after a nuclear power plant, built with Syrian-North Korean cooperation, Moustapha said: “these are ridiculous claims. Syria does not have nuclear facilities.
“This is a familiar game,” he added. “There were those who said that Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction were smuggled into Syria. This is nothing new. We hear stories like that all the time.”
Syria, said Moustapha, is one of the few friends North Korea has in the world, adding that while on friendly terms, the two states merely share commerce relations.
As for the rumors of an arms deal between the two, Moustapha simply said “I leave these kinds of things to the military experts. I am not one.”
Israel, he added, has made a serious mistake by invading Syrian airspace: “Over the past three months Israel has been sending us calming messages, saying it has no interest in escalating the relations between the two countries and then it sends its fighter jets into Syria – that is a serious provocation.
“If the Israelis think they can do whatever they like, they are sorely mistaken, as they were last summer,” he said, adding. “Israel’s actions will have their consequences. Israel will pay”
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

You Israelis hear this? Wake up and kill!

September 15th, 2007 at 11:29 amI think the best response from Israel would be “Get Some”. Our response should be “Just looking for a excuse, bring it”.
September 15th, 2007 at 11:31 amLike I asked before…why didn’t Syria retaliate immediately? Maybe because they knew that they’d get their asses kicked?

Keep talking shit. If Israel brings it, Damascus will be one big smoldering hole in the desert and they won’t lose one minute’s sleep afterward.
September 15th, 2007 at 11:45 amThe same ole middle east reterect…Willful arrogance for the sake of arrogance. Deny, refute, state a provacation or 2 by others and issue threats to the point of stupidity.
Then as the hype builds they’ll put together a few groups in the street for the media and burn a flag and scream death to (”er who is this week”)somebody. As for the actors right now their in a pow wow getting their “psyc on”.
September 15th, 2007 at 11:59 amMoustafa, you think Israel’s going to pay?
Wait to see when your bill comes due…
September 15th, 2007 at 12:08 pm“why didn’t Syria retaliate immediately”
These countries know it will be suicide to go directly into war…They use the rebel infractions they help create to go to war under the guise of some cause “soon to be released” (as in the case of those master planners right now).
Their political ways and means is as easy to read as a self help book. Its all in the art of deception
September 15th, 2007 at 12:16 pm“It’s a JAMBA Sale!”
Do you know what that means?
Shaza-yum!
September 15th, 2007 at 1:52 pm“The Israelis didn’t bomb anything.” “…these are ridiculous claims. Syria does not have nuclear facilities.”
Right. Claim the bombs landed in an open field, so no one will look closer and find the evidence before it’s cleaned/covered up.

Hmmm…i’d say that reference to last summer is AN ADMISSION that Syria was behind the kidnappings of Israeli soldiers and the military attacks upon Israel.
Thanks, Moustapha, the World’s been waiting for Syria to admit it was their forces behind Hezbollah.
September 15th, 2007 at 2:56 pmHoly Shit! Baghdad Bob has resurfaced!
September 15th, 2007 at 3:32 pm“Holy Shit! Baghdad Bob”
Haha, I forgot all about him…”We clean them all up”
September 15th, 2007 at 4:32 pm“This is a familiar game,” he added. “There were those who said that Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction were smuggled into Syria. This is nothing new. We hear stories like that all the time.”
Well that proves it for me. If this liar says Saddams’s WMDs weren’t smuggled into Syria, then they surely were….
