Syria refuses peace talks with Israel

DAMASCUS, Syria, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Senior Syrian officials said Monday the U.S. airstrike on a Syrian nuclear facility Sept. 6 has ruined all chances of peace with Israel.

The announcement came after Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said earlier Monday there would be no war with Syria, the Jerusalem Post reported.

Olmert said ongoing tension with Syria in the past few weeks would not turn into armed conflict, and while Syria's troops are "on alert," Syrian Information Minister Mohsen Bilal said Syria would not initiate an attack, Ynetnews reported.

Regarding talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Olmert said they "have gained momentum since the Palestinian unity government was dissolved and Hamas took over the Gaza Strip," the report said.

Opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu challenged Olmert, saying the prime minister was "the only one in the State of Israel who believes (Abbas) is a partner," the report said.

[Brilliant]

I thought that Pelosi went there and negotiated a peace.

[shield]

It’s BS...it was the Israelis’...

[ExTexasRedhead]

Too bad Pelosi didn’t stay there with her favorite rag on her head.

[Nervous Tick]

U.S. airstrike? That’s bizarre.

I think Science Daily may be showing their true colors...

[BigBobber]

US air strike?

Well, F15s flying at 35,000 feet all look about the same. No one would be any the wiser.

[Bringbackthedraft]

Next they’ll say it was probably Bush flying a F 102?

[RetiredArmy]

Actually, it would not bother me one freaking bit if it WERE a US air strike. Seems damned good to me. Screw those rag head SOBs. I am sick of the liberal leftist socialist homo loving abortion approving elites telling me how to live my life, what I can say and what I can do, where I can go, what I can do, what I can say. They claim to be the voice of everything. Well, this voice is telling them to kiss my red, white and blue @$$. BOMB the entire country flat.

[Mariner]

The Syrians DO NOT KNOW WHO HIT THEM.

Neither the US or Israel is saying anything...

It's gotta be spooky to be a Syrian military member right now.

[fishergirl]

Wooooo hoooo!! Well said!!! Couldn’t agree you more! God bless our troops!

[Dog]

I don’t know...

[AGreatPer]

I noticed that Bush would not talk about Syria at all during his last press conference.

The question to him was, "What do you think about the Israel attack on Syria?". His answer was, "No comment on that subject."

[Dog]

Bingo.

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

SCIENCE DAILY Your source for the latest research news

???

[shield]

Oh, let’s just follow what’s out there. And say it’s a bs story.

[RetiredArmy]

The question to him was, "What do you think about the Israel attack on Syria?". His answer was, "No comment on that subject."

Bush was a coward. He should have replied, "GOOD!" He wimped out.

[blam]

"The Syrians DO NOT KNOW WHO HIT THEM."

B-2's?

The Turks say that the F-15 drop tanks they found, don't look dropped. (Ahem)

[Blogger]

Particularly if you have read Isaiah 17 before.

[Popman]

Now, tell us what you really think

[L98Fiero]

“Bush was a coward. He should have replied, “GOOD!” He wimped out.”

Come now, you should know the strategic value of having information your enemy and his friends do not.

Ruse wins battles and ultimately wars.

[ChadGore]

Re: Bush flying a F 102?

Yea, and the next thing they'll say is Bush was victorious in 2002 in Afghanistan, and 2003 in Iraq.

[Boundless]

> [Bush] should have replied, “GOOD!” He wimped out.

No, his normal wimp out is to mutter something about
how unfortunate it is for the peace process.

His N.C. speaks volumes - to the Syrians, the PRK,
the Russians, Iran.

Whatever happened, the Syrians are dumbstruck.
They haven’t even been able to pull together Reuters
fauxtography of Baby Milk Factory ruins. This REALLY
got their attention.

With any luck, Im-A-Dinner-Jacket and his beardbrain
buddies in Tehran are deeply concerned. They felt the
need to brandish their entire inventory of QF-5i
“F/A-18” killers.

[bert]

He can’t stand it. Hhe can’t admit the IAF screwed him to the wall. To save face, he had to pack it on the USAF......

The man is toast.

[Jet Jaguar]

“the U.S. airstrike on a Syrian nuclear facility”

Interesting.

[shield]

As Rush would say: RIGHT ON RIGHT ON RIGHT ON...

The Jews beat his azz... ;o)

[airborne]

Muslims lie. It’s part of the culture.

[roaddog727]

“The Syrians DO NOT KNOW WHO HIT THEM.

They don’t know wheather to S##t of go blind.

Good.

It’s part of the koran....lying to the infidels is approved.

[Boundless]

To follow-up on my own remark:

> Whatever happened, the Syrians are dumbstruck.

Has anyone heard from Assad since this began?

All I’ve seen are spokesdroids.
Is it possible the IAF hit a target while Assad
was touring it? Is a power struggle what’s keeping
the Syrian PR machine so quiet?

And back at the SD “U.S. Airstrike” freudian slip,
I wouldn’t rule out the IAF providing visible low
cover for stealth stuff above doing the heavy lifting.

If the sites just blew up with no air defense alert,
it would be clear who dun it. With the IAF lighting
up the Syrian screens (just before jamming them), and
a few strategic drop tanks, who knows ...

[Fitzcarraldo]

if the ground team was there to recover nuclear material, unless they were wearing complete radiation suits perhaps the fighter attack fro IAF was a simply diversion

[airborne]

Yep. And their leaders encourage it.

[txflake]

Yeah, anybody seen Assad at all since then?

I haven't.

If he was at or near the facility, it would explain the complete silence on the affair.

[shield]

Of course, I mean nutjob was shifty and lying through his teeth. It was so very obvious...he must think we are stupid people and can not see through his ridiculous bs. ‘We have no homosexuality in our country’ Oh please...

[airborne]

He did get a few cheers from the students at his speech today.

So there are obviously some stupid people attending Columbia.

[txflake]

Maybe Assad has been deposed due to the sarin/vx disaster and the air strike.

[badpacifist]

Syrian nuclear facility

So I didn't realize someone actually admitted there was a Syrian nuclear facility.

[Fitzcarraldo]

I can just see Assad gloating over the shiny new toys.

[shield]

They laughed at him and kinda booed him with the queer thingy...they did let him know they didn't believe him...the only kids that were at that stupid speech was kids raised by flaming libs...

They also cheered the President's speech...and he ripped nutjob too pieces...

[airborne]

Yeah, I thought that was funny.

He’s saying, “We have no homosexuals in Iran”, and I’m thinking, “Yeah, but that’s probably because you killed them all!”

[joseph20]

"Screw those rag head SOBs."

My sentiments exactly.

[Shqipo]

This looks like a job for Kucinich’s Department of Peace. How long until Cindy Sheehan and ANSWER offer themselves as Human Shields?

[shield]

Right...that’s what happens. But what he indicated was they don’t have a problem like that in his wonderful muslim country. We’re not like the Great Satan...these western countries are all so vile...that was his drift...we’re too pure...

[TheBattman]

I was wondering why the Israeli military would need to go through Turkish airspace to bomb Syria...

[Cindy]

BIG DITTO.

What I'm wondering about is that if Israeli commandos managed to grab some nuclear material from the site before it was bombed, it seems to me that they might also have grabbed a number of people as well. Maybe some Iranians and North Koreans??? Sure, this is pure, wild speculation, but think about it... The Syrians wouldn't have just left nuclear materials laying out...

Mark

[blam]

I does appear that something unusual happened. Perhaps, something stunning.

""Meanwhile, Newsweek quoted Binyamin Netanyahu adviser Uzi Arad as saying, "I do know what happened, and when it comes out it will stun everyone."

[Jet Jaguar]

Bump to that.

[TigersEye]

Senior Syrian officials said Monday the U.S. airstrike on a Syrian nuclear facility Sept. 6 has ruined all chances of peace with Israel.

Gee whiz, Syria! Did somebody bomb you? You might want to put some ice on that.
