Syria and Iran are to blame for the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah terrorists and the subsequent Israeli military response, U.S. officials said Wednesday.
The White House called for the immediate and unconditional release of the two soldiers abducted by Hezbollah guerrillas on Wednesday. Seven Israeli soldiers have also been killed in a cross-border attack that Israel has called an act of war by Lebanon. (Full Story)
“The United States condemns in the strongest terms this unprovoked act of terrorism, which was timed to exacerbate already high tensions in the region and sow further violence. We also hold Syria and Iran, which have provided long-standing support for Hezbollah, responsible for today’s violence. We call for the immediate and unconditional release of the Israeli soldiers,” reads a statement released by the White House press secretary.
“Hezbollah’s actions are not in the interest of the Lebanese people, whose welfare should not be held hostage to the interests of the Syrian and Iranian regimes. We reiterate the international community’s insistence that all parties in the region fulfill their obligations under U.N. Security Council resolutions 1559 and 1680, and cease all support for Hezbollah,” the statement continues.

That’s no far fetched. But I don’t think they’ll get their hands dirty. It’s money - it’s always money.

Ok. Isreal is taking it to Lebanon. Syria and Iran may come soon. The question is when do they attack Paris. I think they will need our help with Paris.
