BEIRUT - A US envoy said on Monday that Washington wanted to see Syria start pulling troops out of Lebanon and end its interference in the country’s political affairs ahead of elections due by the end of May.

Seems like yesterday when Chechnyan rebels killed 350 women and children, seems like today 115 Iraqi job seekers were killed, seems like six months ago Spaniards were killed on a train.

Boy that international outrage sure was hugh

Trust but verify. Hope is not a strategy.

The President who is pro Syrian remains - all it means is that anew govt will form. This is not as some posters declared - the fall of the Berlin wall.

But, Destro, as they say in that part of the world, "the camel's nose is under the tent." And "the genie is out of the bottle."

Just saw Bret Baer on Fox News saying that the Pentagon just said that they have proof that Bin Ladin has been communicating with Al-Zarqawi in Iraq---

They said that the communications said that Bin Ladin is telling al-Zarqawi to concentrate attacks IN THE USA, instead of Iraq---

PM's supporters run riot, one dead
From correspondents in Tripoli
March 01, 2005
From: Reuters
ONE person was killed today as followers of Lebanese Prime Minister Omar Karami rioted in his hometown in the wake of his resignation.

The death in Tripoli was reported by witnesses and hospital sources.
The witnesses said scores of armed Karami supporters attacked the houses of at least two opposition parliamentarians.

They were firing assault rifles into the air, smashing cars and setting tyres on fire in the streets.

Hospital sources confirmed a 22-year-old supporter of the pro-Syrian politician was shot dead during the rioting.


It was not immediately clear who shot him.

Lebanese troops were restoring calm and had cordoned off parts of the city, the witnesses said.

Ray, you're incorrect. No smarmy comments from you, oolatec or our rocket scientist from Montana is going to change that the Axis of Evil speech following 9/11/01 involved Iran, Iraq and North Korea. Not Syria.

To: sarah_f

Right, and it's no accident that Syria landed itself on the Axis Of Evil list shortly after September 11, 2001, by none other than President Bush in front of a joint session of Congress, because for decades, they've been on that notorious list of states that sponsor terror. 269 posted on 02/28/2005 12:49:06 PM EST by BigSkyFreeper (Toora, Loora, Loora)

Now, who would like to go first and tell us what's wrong with BigSky's bleating up above?

And concerning the expansion of the Axis of Evil in May 02, please identify the joint session of Congress before which President Bush made that declaration. Thank you.

Well...NK has a million man Army....the best we could do if we saw them mobilizing would be to withdraw 30 miles South of the DMZ and make it a no man's land utilizing bombers...and then pick and choose military targets inside of NK to bring it to it's knees....

And do you really think the Axis in WWII was made up of only German, Italian, and Japanese troops? Sheesh...you're wrong...let it go....lol

1) I'd love to find out what I'm wrong about. Please provide some specifics, as opposed to these Einstein-like declarations that seem to be floating about.

2) The Axis was made up of the German, Italian and Japanese governments. Russia was in there for a while as well. But that means nothing to this argument, other than the general definition of an "axis" as thrown out by ol' Ray is irrelevant.

Bin Ladin is telling al-Zarqawi to concentrate attacks IN THE USA

Did OBL have any suggestions as to how he would do it?
