Does Assad know something?

War on the horizon?

The Syrian military is preparing for war with Israel, Syria's President Bashar Assad told the Quwaiti newspaper Al-Anba on Saturday.
In an interview widely quoted by Syrian news agencies, Assad said Israel could attack Syria "at any moment."
"We must remain ready at all times," said Assad. "We have begun preparations within the framework of our options."
Syrian Information Minister Muhsen Bilal also said Saturday that his country is preparing for war with Israel, but added that Syria is interested in peace.
According to Bilal, Israel intended to "crush Hezbollah" and impose its control in Lebanon, but failed to do so.
"The crisis which Israel finds itself in today, following its failure in Lebanon, could lead it to attack Syria," said Bilal.

Let's see. An attack, by our "ally" on Syria before our November elections. Tension builds. Talks of Iran becoming involved. Actions against Iran. The fear builds....

Of course many will believe that we need to keep the Repugs in office. Voters will look beyond scandals and lies when fear tales over.

Fantasy? Or the October surprise?
