Sending a Serious Message to Syria

Thanks for the latest update on the foreplay with Syria.

Syria one day and Iran the next.

Yeah, SOS Powell ran off to Syria on his own to placate Assad Jr. Anyone who believes that, should get a brain scan to see third party worms have eaten up their brain.

The May 3 meeting in the presidential palace on the hilltop overlooking Damascus was short and to the point. Secretary of State Colin Powell, flanked by State Department Arabists, told Syrian dictator Bashar Assad that the U.S. victory in Iraq had changed the way America plans to do business in the Middle East. The days of the cozy deals and of winking and nodding at Syrian support for terrorism were ended. He then presented Assad with a list of U.S. demands that was nothing short of breathtaking.

Powell told the Syrian president that the United States requires him to help in the search for hidden Iraqi weapons. The United States believes the weapons were taken in convoys of tanker trucks to Syria last fall, along with key production equipment, and buried in the Syrian desert shortly before U.N. arms inspectors returned to Iraq. Powell demanded that Syria locate and turn over Iraqi weapons scientists and top-ranking Ba'ath Party officials who had been granted sanctuary by Syria once Gulf War II began. He also summoned Assad to close terrorist offices in Damascus and to shut down terrorist training camps in Lebanon.

Even more chilling for Assad: Powell informed him, and repeated this demand in public in Beirut, that the United States expected Syria to end its 27-year military occupation of Lebanon, where it continues to control all prime ministers and puppet presidents in utter defiance of the popular will

There is more interesting stuff in this article like ending Syria's cash cow relationship with Lebanon.

FYI. This is really interesting.

Don't you just love the foreplay that Powell, Rummy and GW are doing with Syria and Iran?

That is Tombstone Pizza Delivery Service!

Very interesting, and the article on the Mullahs in Iran is also:

Iran's jihadist plans

I think we are going to need more troops!

We know where you are hiding the weapons, the scientists and the terrorist bases. Give them up, or we will go get them ourselves.

Then we will know where Saddam's weapons of Mass Destruction went!

That will shutup the damn LEFTISTS!

[Dog Gone]

Syria has a choice to make. Take Iraq's missing place among the Axis of Evil, or become responsible.

I'm not all that hopeful that they will choose wisely.

[Grampa Dave]

This probably why GW and Tony are being so quiet and mum re the missing WMD's. If they show up in Syria and or Iran, we get a twofer!

[Grampa Dave]

This is amazing blunt stuff.

I would have loved to been an invisible man during Powell's little heart to heart chats with A$$ad jr.

[Miss Marple]

This article should make Newt think twice next time he decides to attack Powell. As we can see, Powell was there to send a stern message, not to placate.

People who don't know what's going on should keep their mouths shut on television, and they should definitely not be making SPEECHES with their erroneous information.

State needs to be revamped; that is probably why the president sent Powell to Syria...underlings couldn't be trusted. But to blame this on Powell was foolish and counterproductive.

[Pro-Bush]

This is very series!

[Lurker]

I hope they do chose unwisely.

The USMC has a score to settle with the House of Assad.

I hope I live long enough to see it.

[Lady In Blue]

Thanks! After reading this article,I wonder if this is why Israel has decided to approve the roadmap to peace plan,albeit with reserve?!

[Grampa Dave]

You are exactly correct.

SOS Powell was acting with and for the president in a very precise and planned visit and presentation to A$$ad jr..

He and Rummy and GW have been working Syria and Iran over like a three man tag team of Olympic Wrestlers.

This article should make Newt think twice next time he decides to attack Powell. As we can see, Powell was there to send a stern message, not to placate.

I'm not sure Newt was complaining about Powell as much as he was complaining about the career institutional leftism in the entire State Department, which has been a hotbead of pro-Arab and Leftist sentiment for decades. Powell has merely failed to attack it.

The entire Department needs a good house cleaning. It's corporate view approximates that of the average Ivy League College faculty.

It would be great if Newt would volunteer and Powell would accept.

It would be great if Newt would volunteer and Powell would accept.

Newt couldn't get appointed dog catcher in this Admin after his grandstanding attack on Powell and Bush.
