I seriously doubt that U.S. forces would cross the Syrian border to retrieve some Al Qaeda. Not worth the international complications.

Why not.....if you had solid intel Zarqawi was in the group you were chasing...I think we would risk Syria getting its hackles up.

DEBKA did say that we only crossed over after we gave Syria an ultimatum. Perhaps we have just gotten tired of threatening them. How long do we have to say "stop harboring terrorists or there will be consequences" before we actually start implementing 'consequences'?

It's important to remember that even though liberal children control the media, we have adults in the White House.

what international complications... Both Panhead and the UN have know that Syria is on a very short list of places that could face the wrath of the US military... I don't think anyone would be suprised if this occured.. yet I would like to find additional information backing this up.

Oh please. We'd go in a heartbeat if our Kurdish allies in Syria (they oppose Assad) weren't up to the task.
