Squeeze Play
My latest at Pajamas re Iran, Syria, Israel and the United States. There was the U.S. flanking of Iran in Iraq and Afghanistan. Then you had the Iranian/Syrian flanking of U.S. in Iraq. Are we now seeing the Israeli/U.S. flanking of Iran and Syria? Hope so. Related links:
Fars, Iran, Syria bolster Industrial Cooperation. “The (Memorandum of Understanding)allows Iran to establish joint factories in Homs, central Syria, for production of passenger cars, busses, and trailers, as well as chemical fertilizes.” Hey, sounds like a carbomb factory. Israel, you listening?
Gateway, Advisors Tell Assad to Attack Israel (bad idea, Assad, but what do I know, I’m just an alcohol-swilling infidel), and Iranian Intel Officer, AQ Big Killed in Same Iraq Raid!

It’s been said that the Islamicists have the patience of centuries to carry out their aim of a global caliphate. Perhaps they should be more concerned with the patience of the West, and how there’s only so much of it, and it’s just about used up.

I hope you are right, Jules. Every time I hear of another act of war against the U.S. by Iran, my blood boils. I hope we do something before I cook off completely and there’s nothing left.
Rebecca, I would edit your last sentence to read “patience of Americans”. There are plenty of countries in the West who would be happy to see the U.S. fail. They think it would be great, anyway. With a moments thought, however, they might realize that they would have nothing left between them and the barbarians at their gate but their multicultural, PC rhetoric.

Nicely done. Would that more pundits actually seemed to grasp the importance of basic geography!
