The Games They Play

Syria announced today that they fired on an Israeli military aircraft that violated Syrian airspace. Syrian government officials stated that the aircraft crossed the northern boarder from the Mediterranean, broke the sound barrier and dropped some ammunition in the norther deserted desert. The Syrians then claim to have fired on the aircraft forcing it to leave their airspace.

A Syrian spokesperson stated, "We warn the Israeli enemy government against this flagrant aggressive act, and retain the right to respond in an appropriate way".

Lets not forget first and foremost that Syria is a state sponsor of terrorism, especially Israelis enemy Hezbollah. Second, why would an Israeli enter Syrian airspace and drop ammunition in the deserted desert. The Syrians have no proof or they would have produced a box of ammo with the Israeli flag printed on the side. If the aircraft did in fact enter, I am sure that is was a mistake on the route the aircraft was flying. For the Syrians to provoke a response by firing on the aircraft just goes to show their mentality in working toward the peace process.
