Syria Fears U.S. Attack On Iran, Mobilizes Reservists

From DEBKAfile:

Our military sources report exclusively that Thursday night, Oct. 11, Syria placed its civil defense services on a state of preparedness and mobilized their reservists.

Government and military hospitals across Syria have also been alerted.

These measures were ordered Tuesday, Oct. 9, and were in place within three days. In contrast, there is no change in the deployment of Syrian forces along the border with Israel on Golan and Mt. Hermon.

Thursday, Syrian defense minister Gen. Hassan Turkmani published a message to the armed forces calling for “readiness to withstand all aggression.”

A day earlier, the Syrian chief of staff, Gen. Ali Habib, said at an officers’ passing-out parade: “Syria is capable of beating off any conspiracies” against the country.

All these measures and this rhetoric strongly indicate the Syrian regime is convinced that either an American or Israeli assault, or attacks by both against Syria and Iran are due shortly.

Syrian president Bashar Assad articulated this fear in an interview published by the Tunisian daily Al-Shorouk Thursday. He said: I am working on the premise that the Americans will attack Iran,” explaining that this was the answer he received when he asked the Iranians how they evaluated the situation.

DEBKAfile’s sources note that the only two Iranian personalities he would have talked to would be supreme ruler Ayatollah Ali Khamenei or president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Assad went on to say to the Tunisian interviewer: This means we are facing a force (the Americans) which has no respect for international laws and values, exactly as in Iraq. The United States,” he continued,” backs the enemy Israel absolutely which prevents us from perceiving the US in any other light that an enemy.”

An attack on Iran will harm the whole world but as we have seen in the Iraq War, the Americans do not enter into such calculations. “I cannot play games of anticipation,” said the Syrian ruler. “I must be ready for any US or Israeli operation against Iran or Syria.”

    Surely there is some diplomatic way of getting around these hostilites. I’m not smart enough to know how but there are so many bright bulbs in congress and the UN, no need to worry folks. And don’t call me Shirley.

  3. moneyguy

    The Syrian and Iranian governments think of us as the enemy so be it. How are we gonna get enough boots on the ground to pull this off? A draft??!

    Well if it does ever happen I’ll put Uncle Sams toys up against the Ruskies or the Chi-coms anyday…Bashar the ASSad better make sure that if he’s got chinese toys that they haven’t been recalled :lol:

    Is that a T-62 I see? They make great roman candles when hit. We’ll go through the mighty Syrian Army like a hot knife through butter. Bring up all the reserves you want to.
    Let’s rock motherfuckers. Time for a little payback for Col Higgins and Bill Buckley.

    Can I start it plaese…can I..can I?

    Ajust fire over.

    Syrian dicksuckers in the open.

    FFE over…

  6. Steve

    I believe that’s a T-80, the latest from our Russian friends

  7. Paul Hausser

    Dan are you there?

  8. Mike

    bomb them the stone age, leave their oil fields ablaze.

  9. political.fish

    T-62, T-80…don’t matter, they’ll burn the same. Laser designators work well on both!

  10. Dan (The Infidel)

    For all I know it could be a T-72 (I don’t have my threat armor palying cards anymore). It doesn’t matter, it’s pure cannon fodder for US airpower.

    Paul Hauser: Are you there?

    Heeeyyyy Birdddog,
    We can not wait for these bombs to drop, we need to have our brothers, the Jews in America, to enslave white trash, niggers and beaners of the lowest form of human life, the Christian GOYYEEM of America. Get ready for $12.00 gal gas and a Dollar that worth less than Mexican Pesos you illiterate 98.80% of American peasants. We gonna have ya walking with a chip in your right hand and forehead in 2 years, because that is all you 98.80% of American really are and should be numbered and branded like a Farm animals on the ranch. Except these nice creatures will have better food and less work days and hours than you will.

    Hey guys…just saw the inquiries regarding the tanke…

    Pictured is a Russian built T-80, Syria uses those, but those Syrians couldn’t hit the side of a mosque.

    Make their fears a reality…lets light this candle!

  14. Trindam

    The T-80 still isn’t a match for our tanks. The only thing we need to be carefull of is sending our rounds through those peaces of crap and having them blow up on the hill behind them.

  15. Turambar

    it’s not that it isn’t a match for our tanks…. it will never get to fight our tanks. Our Air Force will never be challenged.
