US puts out the word that we are increasingly angry at Syria for continued infiltration of insurgents into Iraq. Then, in a lightning raid ostensibly to counter a buildup of insurgents intending to sneak into Iraq, Special Forces uncovers a motherlode of WMD's.
There have been reports that Syria is testing chemical weapons on civilians in the Sudan.
Syria tested chemical arms on civilians in Darfur region: press, and other locations on the web.

Inasmuch as the Moslems don't run Syria, I fail to see how disposing of all of them will improve anything there.

Yes, we are halfway there already. A young friend of mine has been fighting near the Syrian border recently; says he and his boys have killed quite a few bad guys.

The U.S. delegation to Damascus meeting gave the government of President Bashar Asad a very blunt warning about Syria's actions undercutting what the United States is trying to accomplish in Iraq.
"It's not just a question of border control...Institutions within Syria are actively colluding with our enemies in Iraq." "If Americans are dying in Iraq because of Syrian policies, then this is something we are not going to tolerate.."
"..Our job is to convince them that the risk of undermining us is much greater than the opposite."

It would be good to have Syria neutralized on the left flank as attention turns toward the east.

" Assuming Bush is elected, who is going to get hit first...Syria or Iran. "
Iran. The difference between taking out Syria now or a year from now might be that they have more of whatever they already have. The difference with Iran is that they will possibly have nukes in a year that can reach London, and everything will change. Syria can wait but not Iran. And Bush will be reelected.

Bush administration completes get-tough plan for Syria
World Tribune ^ | Tuesday, September 28, 2004 | Staff
Posted on 09/28/2004 1:05:42 PM PDT by Made in USA
The Bush administration has drafted contingency plans for bringing military and economic pressure against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Officials said the administration has determined that diplomacy has failed to resolve U.S. concerns that Syria has been working to destabilize the interim government in Iraq.
They said the Assad regime has been harboring senior operatives of Abu Mussib Al Zarqawi, regarded as the most lethal insurgent in Iraq, aides to Saddam Hussein as well as Iraqi nuclear scientists as part of a Syrian policy coordinated with Iran
