Syria, EU finally ink trade, political agreement
Syria formally initialled an association agreement with the EU that commits both sides to work toward free trade and increase efforts to stamp out terrorism and weapons of mass destruction.
Syria was the only Mediterranean country in the EU's "Barcelona process," launched in 1995 aiming to bolster trade and political ties in the region, not to have concluded an association agreement.
The issue of the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction had until now hampered a closure to the accord.

The UN also demands Israel withdraw from the West Bank - Gaza and the Golan and Turkish troops to leave Northern Cyprus....
Dang it. And if they don't, we know the UN will call out their spitball cannons. Dang.
Hope about we get Syria and Iran to remove their troops, oops, the "insurgents", from Iraq?
A report every 6 months - and after 10 - 12 bad reports???
"alleged support for terrorism"?

They're doing the best they can to take away one of our excuses for going into Syria.

Or the comfy chair. I say give 'em the comfy chair. That'll larn 'em.
Best of all, maybe they can make some sort of Oil for Food arrangement if they stonewall long enough. Or failing that, sex for food. The UN is good at that.
Ohhh scary! If you don't listen to us we will send Hans Blix. And when he swims with the sharks we send you another angry letter.
Sorry saw TeamAmerica today and I just can't take anything serious since.
Axis of Evil Weasels BTTT

And I thought I was harsh and cruel. Jeeez. :O)
UN the small yapping annoying dog with a big important label and no bite.
Get ready Syria, Iran, N. Korea. We here in FR are all praying for the re-election of GWB. You can run for a little while longer but you can't hide for very much longer.
That was great, wasn't it?
SEMI-SPOILER ALERT
I still can't get that "AMERICA--F YEAH!" song outta my head.
I almost fell on the floor laughing when they played the slow version of the song...
The best part of this movie was the songs...not one was bad.
