Source: Syria shows how military threat can sway aggressive countries
A senior political source said discussions to remove chemical weapons from Syrian control as part of an attempt to prevent an American attack accentuated the power of a military threat in similar situations.
"This emphasizes how a credible military threat can go a long way in swaying dissident countries, also in regards to Iran. Beyond all the smoke and mirrors, we all know that if America was to send massive forces then the Syrian regime would buckle," the senior Israeli official said. (Attila Somfalvi)
