Syria-Iran military pact -- a dangerous new axis

Iran and Syria have signed a military pact which will enable Iran to provide long range missle technology to Damascus.

very dangerous indeed. It is pretty clear now that Assad has no intentions of toeing the line with US demands. Both states unabashedly support terrorist groups, and the sharing of technology between them will spell disaster for the region.

now, even if the US wanted to clean up and exit Iraq, it will not be able to do so because the minute it does, Iraq will be caught in the pincers and invasion on two fronts would be inevitable.

even more dangerous is the transfer of the technology to Hizbollah and other neer-do-wells vis-a-vis Israel. with the collapse of the PA looming, it is only a matter of time (long enough to build another tunnel) before the palestinian terror groups get there hands on long range missles. even if they don't, syria can do the job for them.

even the best fence will do no good against this type of threat.
