"Syria Threatens U.S. With Military Retaliation"
Stewart Stogel
Saturday, March 29, 2003
ARTICLE SNIPPET: ""NEW YORK UNITED NATIONS Syria's U.N. ambassador has said that Syria will retaliate if U.S. forces attack."
The heated rhetoric came late Friday after Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld warned Syria to desist from aiding Iraq.
"I have seen photos of arms and military supplies crossing the border from Syria into Iraq," Rumsfeld said to reporters at the Pentagon.
"If this does not stop, we will consider it hostile," Rumsfeld said."

Nervous yet France?
