"Quoting Western intelligence officials, the London-based Sunday Telegraph reported that Syrian President Bashar Assad fears that the US will use the presence of the Iraqi scientists as a pretext to target Syria and he is desperate to find a new home for them."

Iraqi nuclear scientists?? I say target Syria if they don't hand them over to the coalition. If they only worked on innocuous stuff, they'd have nothing to fear. Obviously, they fear the US. Iraqi nuke program, anyone?

Syria has a WMD-program related materials.
They are home for Hamas and Hezbollah.
They are at war with Israel.

I'm sure we can think of plenty of plausible pretexts unless Bashar Assad bends over for Ariel Sharon and signs a peace treaty goiving up the Golan Heights. Otherwise, it's gong to be another year of Shock and Awe in 2005!

Since their arrival in Syria, they have been hidden at a secret Syrian military installation where they have been conducting research on behalf of the Assad regime.

Bingo

Thanks, Syria

Give Syria 30 seconds...ok 30 minutes to lock up these people AND all of their physical data and have them ready for our Military to send a plane for them

After the deadline passes, we know where they are.

In "a" military installation. Which one?

Gee, that we don't know.

We will have to take out all of them.

Oh heck, give them a whole hour.

That's a great reason to reelect the grownups if I've ever heard one. Can you imagine what Assad's actions would be if the children (a.k.a., dove Democrats) were in charge?

You guessed it. Nothing. And don't forget about Libya in this equation, either.

Soccer moms, are you listening?

More for GWB's Nov. 3 To-Do List. Providing we get a GOP win, the post-election period is going to be fascinating, as business gets taken care of, bills get paid, and garbage is taken out.

"The Iraqi scientists, who are said to have taken computer disks crammed with research data on Saddam's nuclear program, were given new identities, as well as Syrian citizenship papers and false birth, education and health certificates."

How can this be? The media and the Democrats have assured us over and over again that Saddam Hussein did not have a nuclear program. I'm confused. Surely the media and Deomocrats can't be mistaken on this point?

The U.S. might offer Assad a reprieve of thirty days, if he turns these guys over. Otherwise, we should go in and get them.
