General, as we complete our operations in the west, we need you to lead one final operation.  The Syrians have moved numerous SAM batteries into the Bekaa Valley which violates our tacit understandings on the issue.  These batteries have the potential to undermine IAF effectiveness and threaten the operation in the West.  We need you to drive the Syrians from the Valley and push northward to the Beirut-Damascus Highway, severing the link between Lebanon and Syria.
