WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A U.S. delegation directly confronted Syrian President Bashar Assad -- on the third anniversary of 9/11 -- with evidence that Syrians were aiding militants crossing the border to foment deadly violence in Iraq, a senior U.S. government official has told CNN.

Robinson said the official did not describe what kind of evidence the U.S. presented to Assad at the September 11 meeting in Damascus attended by an influential delegation of representatives from the Department of State, Department of Defense, U.S. Central Command and intelligence community.

Just say NO to Syria, with a cluster of Daisycutters that is.
My 2 cents..The Arab world has a bad habit of believing themselves rather than seeing reality. Should we decide to act on Assad the US wont have to wage a PC war...just some good old fashion a$$ kicking. Destroy their entire military and intrastucture. No ground troops need to be used( sorry Marines) just selctive bombing. Hour by hour....day by day..4 days max its all over...we go in and get the WMD...and thats that. Maybe bomb some more just to highlight a few points.
