BRKNG: Israel Requested Jordan's 'Permission' Twice To Attack Syria Chemical Weapons Sites

With all the news about Syria's chemical weapons today, this seems pretty important...

why do they need permission ?

More important if Jordan says yes.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sent representatives of the Mossad intelligence agency to Amman twice already, to coordinate the matter with the Jordanians and receive their "permission" for the operation, Goldberg wrote.

The Jordanians, however, responded negatively to the request and refused to grant their approval. American officials quoted in the article said the Jordanians told Israel the "time was not right" for such an action.

Is the time still not right or does today's news change things?

A Russian political analyst with contacts at the Foreign Ministry said that “people sent by the Russian leadership” who had contact with Mr. Assad two weeks ago described a man who has lost all hope of victory or escape.

“His mood is that he will be killed anyway,” Fyodor Lukyanov, editor of a Russian foreign affairs journal and the head of an influential policy group, said in an interview in Moscow, adding that only an “extremely bold” diplomatic proposal could possibly convince Mr. Assad that he could leave power and survive.

any nasty weapons the assad regime may have could be captured and fired at israel by any one of the myriad of groups fighting for control there.

israel wouldn't even have a legitimate target to retaliate against.
