And They Were So Close, Too
Syrian officials say that the IAF strike has severely damaged hopes for peace.
[Update at 6 PM Eastern]
Iran seems to be doubling down:
Iran is smuggling advanced weapons, including surface-to-air missiles, into Iraq to be used by extremists against American troops, the US military charged on Sunday.
US military spokesman Rear Admiral Mark Fox told reporters in Baghdad that Iran was shifting sophisticated arms such as “RPG-29s, explosively-formed penetrators (EFPs), 240 mm rockets and Misagh-1 surface-to-air missiles” across its borders into Iraq.
An EFP is a feared roadside bomb which when it explodes emits a white-hot slug of molten copper that can cut through the armoured skins of US military vehicles.

The Dog That Didn’t Bark?
Where was the vaunted “Arab street”? Where were the protests from the other Arab nations to the UN about Israel’s “aggression” against Syria?
Some interesting military and diplomatic analysis and discussion over at Tigerhawk’s place.
[Monday evening update]
Here’s a lot more. Can we officially replace Iraq with Syria as the newest member of the Axis of Evil now? Though hopefully one that may be treading a little more carefully, now that it knows (once again) that its air defenses are worthless.
And speaking of the old A of E, Iran’s war against us doesn’t seem to be going very well. Unfortunately, this doesn’t get covered much, either in the media, or in Congressional hearings.
