Syria declares right to weapons

DAMASCUS, Syria — Syria is entitled to defend itself by acquiring chemical and biological deterrents, President Bashar Assad said yesterday as he rejected American and British demands for concessions on weapons of mass destruction.

After Syria, Iran and North Korea, can we then go after France?

...as he rejected American and British demands for concessions on weapons of mass destruction.

Boy Assad is being cheeky... and me thinks it's an old Oriental trick.

You see, if he behaves, he'll be left alone to resolve the million problems his family created in Syria all by himself.

On the other hand, if liberated by the Americans and the British, that shithole of a country would receive all kind of relief and help. And he knows that the civilised "invaders" won't feed him to an industrial shredder Saddam style (feet first).

What a pity!
