I thought this article was interesting because of the decidedly undiplomatic, forceful headline, and the place it's posted -- the Department of Defense. Decide for yourself if it means anything.
DoD: Bush Slams Syria for Interference in Iraq, Lebanon
"We expect Syria to do everything in her power to shut down the transshipment of suiciders and killers into Iraq. We expect Syria to be a good neighbor to Iraq," Bush said during a White House press conference that included outgoing Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski. Poland has sent troops to support coalition efforts in Iraq.
Syria, which has a one-party Baathist government, also appears to be guilty of continued meddling in Lebanon, Bush said. This circumstance, he said, runs contrary to the opinion of responsible nations in the free world.
"It's very important for Syria to understand that the free world respects Lebanese democracy and expects Syria to honor that democracy," Bush said...
When these mentions of Syria rise to the level of Presidential comments, you know it is getting serious...
But we are WAY past time when we should get serious with Syria...
If we didn't have a bunch of fifth column defeat America leftists in this country, we might have put a stop to Syrian murder.
Time for some black ops on the other side of the Syrian border.
