Invasion Scheme
"We have no capacity to go to war…we allow ourselves to become weak, people bully us," Mahathir
In a closely-related development, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said Saturday Israel plans to invade Syria and drag the United States into the war.
"Israel has been urging America to invade Syria, but America seems to be reluctant. So, in order to force the hands of America, Israel is going to invade Syria," Mahathir was quoted as saying by the official Bernama news agency.
"When that happens, the Americans will have to support Israel due to domestic political reasons that make Jewish votes a major factor in its presidential election," he said.
The veteran Malaysian leader, who will take over the chairmanship of the 57-member Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) at a summit in the Malaysian capital this week, was also asked what could be done apart from condemning the attack.
"We can go to war but we have no capacity to go to war. That's the problem, because we allow ourselves to become weak, people bully us."
