Two as yet unidentified Muslin terrorists chantingAllahu Akbar assaulted a British soldier on a street close to the Royal Barracks at Woolwich, southeast London, shot him, hacked him with knives and a machete and beheaded him. It happened in broad daylight Wednesday, May 22, in front of dozens of witnesses, the first such Islamist outrage seen in a West European capital. British Prime Minister David Cameron has cut short his visit to Paris. The UK Cobra emergency committee meets to determine whether to raise the national terrorist alert level.

Some Israeli defense strategists still refuse to admit that Bashar Assad, Hassan Nasrallah and Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei are pulling ahead in the Syrian war - contrary to their hopes that defeat would snap their bonds.
By making light of the latest Syrian Golan attack as “a local initiative”, those officials miss recognizing the Syrian ruler’s successes and his resolve to translate them into a war of attrition on Israel.
This divided, uncertain response, possibly under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s guidance, gives Assad and Nasrallah the gift of the initiative at war.
