What's your view, Nadine? Land operations or not? Operations against Syria or not? If you would have asked me last weekend, I would have said "absolutely" as to land operations and "maybe" as to Syria. I don't think Israel intends to widen the war to Syria unless Bashar does something stupid, which he's well capable of. I think there will be land operations, but not big and not long, more like raids to clean out the Bekaa after they think the bombardment has softened the targets enough. They are playing by ear, listening to world opionion to try to estimate how much time they have. From what I'm hearing today, all lights are green and all systems are go. So the Israelis are in no big hurry to start the land ops too soon.
