Sharon will drive North to clean up Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah who is operating freely under Syrian auspices and protection, using Iranian weapons. The rhetoric against Syria is now heating up from the US, which is paving the way for Sharon to fire up the IAF. Israel and Turkey have Syria surrounded which means Assad is wetting his pants nightly. If Egypt can be trusted to sit tight, (not guaranteed),the operation will be over quickly. The wildcard is if Saddam decides to launch against Israel in defense of Syria, which I doubt, because that will allow Turkey and the British to move against him, Saddam may just sit tight this time too as he too is boxed in. Add to it the alleged deal that Bush has made with Putin to develop the oil fields of central Asia, we may have marginalized the entire arab oil cartel, which may be what the oil futures markets are smelling, as the price of oil continues to decline.
