Washington, London and Moscow began moving Saturday night and Sunday morning, Aug. 25, toward a first strike against Syria following the Assad regime’s chemical attack last Wednesday. The first targeted strike may well launch a series of US-led attacks aimed at toppling the Assad regime. Behind the soothing words from Israeli officials, the IDF military and intelligence arms are fully braced for Syria to counter an attack by loosing missiles against their country as well as Jordan and Turkey. Russian forces are on war alert.
