Evidence the US is Encouraging Israel to Attack Syria?

Joshua Micah writes this interesting blog making the case:

But there are persistent signs that the US is egging Israel on to bring the war to Damascus.

Here's a clip from the end of an article today in the Jerusalem Post ...

Israeli Defense officials told the Post last week that they were receiving indications from the United States that the US would be interested in seeing Israel attack Syria.

And there are other ominous indications of the US pressing for expansion the Israelis don't seem to want.

I've said it before and I'll say it again I think we're in a proxy war right now, although not necessarily one of our choice. I think it's out of our hands now whether this ends up quieting down and goes away or escalalates to a World War type situation.

It does look like that doesn't it. It is most likely a proxy war on both sides. Given that some people believe a long term scenario involves major conflict on the Middle Eastern/Eurasian plains, and that the US may have 'made the first move' when they entered Iraq, I am beginning to wonder if this is another preliminary step towards that perceived outcome.

Why is out of our hands now DJ why?

I though that the American people is the one that makes decisions in this country . . .

Or that is just an illusion . . .

Why I have to suffer because the errors and mistakes of politicians with greedy agendas . . .

Why should any American had to suffer from their decisions . . .

I though our votes counts and so our voices

Do you think is all big, big lie Dj?
