the mystery of the "Syrian box" continues
as you know, Bob,
the Israelis bombed a big box in eastern Syria a few weeks ago (or, did they? - there's a bizarro story in the j-post source to al-Jazeera that the US did the bombing - don't believe it - but there may be more to the story, like maybe the Israeli planes had US special forces guidance or elint support, or they came from the east, staging out of Iraqi bases - since apparently Syrian AA cover is anisotropic... - that would explain the Syrian strange rant about Israeli aircraft circling over the Med west of Syria - they could have been a distraction rather than backup for the raid force - since we are speculating wildly)
So there.
the Syrians variously denied anything happened, derided the Israelis for bombing empty desert, and angrily hinted they'd "get the Israelis for this, some day"
Arms Control Wonk has the details with some fun public sourced pictures and probably better analysis than the White House was getting...

Sadly, the offending word was not in blogger's dictionary. But I found and removed the extra g!
(Unless you're referring to a missing "e", which is a quasi-principled stand.)
Half way there ;-)
I think redundant "e"s should be disposed with extreme prejudice,
but unless your knowledge of the subtleties of Icelandic declensions is higher than expected, you're also missing an "n"
I don't know why these never get caught by the spell checkers.
I blame Bill Gates.
Yes, "Big Box" stores like Walmart are definitely a threat.
