That includes missile launchers, artillery and aircraft (jets, prop-driven and helicopters). Also disabling airfields and air defences (inc S-300s).<br /><br />Obama may not get sufficient political support to consider using Spl Forces as this would constitute "boots on the ground".<br /><br />There are a whole raft of risks including: civilian deaths caused by the strikes; chances of terrorist reactions; Hezbollah missiles aimed at Israel; Syrian use of anti-shipping missiles against tankers. All making situation more unstable and probably worse. <br /><br />Regards<br /><br />PetePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624742078679760819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-37963345665492099142013-09-07T08:43:48.683+10:002013-09-07T08:43:48.683+10:00Hi Viator

Hence this blog is not advocating strikes. <br /><br />Main job of this blog is to describe how a strike may happen using what weapons while also pointing out risks.<br /><br />PetePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624742078679760819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-21039184856478859702013-09-07T07:09:32.766+10:002013-09-07T07:09:32.766+10:00Hang on just a little bit in regards to United Sta...Hang on just a little bit in regards to United States of America shooting missiles and sending Special Forces into Syria.<br />While the general public on the streats and in the housing projects of Syria may be hurting from any efforts of Mr. Assad to hold power may be limited from last year, the chances of a father to have his child live past her birthday would be more limited under airstrikes with big bombs.<br />I'd like better a world where Elites battle Elites, the one whose assassins take out more of the bodyguards of the opponent than vice versa in particular argument, wins.<br />And take it into or off orbit if you can while you are at it, please.Viatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17557541049007066014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-89065456391520256712013-09-06T18:14:02.623+10:002013-09-06T18:14:02.623+10:00Hi Pete

The US Naval forces deployed in the eastern Mediterranean Sea have enough fire power to destroy Syria, but probably not enough strategic thinking as to how to go about dismantling the CW arsenal. To achieve a definite goal of removing CW, there is a need to put Spl.Forces to target CW complexes. Given the Congress mandate, this seems to be a difficult proposition. The US would be better off not intervening militarily rather enter into a conflict with half-baked strategic objectives.<br />KumarKumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571503236070897848noreply@blogger.com
