(IsraelNN.com) An Iraqi state television station has broadcast a confession by a man who said he was a Syrian intelligence agent who trained terrorists to kill American and Iraqi troops.
Anas Ahmed al-Essa said on the American-funded station that his mission was to "cause chaos" in Iraq and keep America out of Syria. The station also broadcast similar stories from men who said they were Sudanese and Egyptian citizens.
Oh please....reminds me of the Kurish
peasant" (turned out to be Kurdish ambassador's daughter)
who told Congress Iraqi troops were tossing babies in the air and bayonetting them, and tossing them out of incubators.
He thinks the Syrian government will fall.
I doubt that the government will fall but I do believe there is a window now for the Syrians to leave Lebanon.
This story is verified only by the person making the statement. His statement is completely consistent with reams of evidence from the last 18 months, including repeated incidents of terrorists infiltrating Iraq from Syria, gun battles near that border, etc. Not to mention that a great many nasty Ba'athists fled their during and shortly after the war. Hell, that's where most of Saddam's family went.
