LONDON (Reuters) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice cited what she called "firm evidence" on Tuesday that the Islamic Jihad militant group helped plan last week's Tel Aviv suicide bombing from Syria. "There is firm evidence that Palestinian Islamic Jihad, sitting in Damascus, not only knew about the attacks, but was involved in the planning," Rice told ABC News in an interview according to an excerpt provided by the U.S. television network.

Nice tag line....
Hassad has assured us that it is only a Media Building, you know, for PR and stuff. They don't do any "Terrorist" stuff there.
I agree!!!!! The time for talk is long over due. Make a parking lot out of Syria.
You know what these are?
Thanks Howlin! That's the one. She is looking good! (Madeline Albright eat your heart out)
How about if they meet our Marines in the middle?
They can then leave by ship from our beach head on the Med.
Cupcakes?
The best part? The UNSC, following the leadership of the hindmost in France, rejected the US arguments in favor of Iraqi liberation, and thereby wrote itself out of all future scripts. Syria will be liberated, and soon.
There's likely going to be a lot of twists and turns in this Syria thing before it is done, but the really fascinating thing is that so many pressure points came up almost simultaneously. Watching HOW they play it out may give a lot of insight to unspoken undercurrents.
Rice balls.
Syria's options are fairly limited. Militarily, Syria simply can't withstand an American or Israeli military offensive in Lebanon.
Which leaves Syria with non-military options. One such option is to finger Iran. Should Syria turn on Iran, blame the mad mullahs for the bombings in Lebanon, Iraq, and Israel over the past three weeks, and then turn on those terrorist groups that operate in Syria and Lebanon (e.g. Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah), then Syria will escape full-scale military defeat.
Another option is to withdraw from Lebanon immediately and simply lay low until peacenik regimes take over eventually in both the U.S. and Israel.
For our part, we have to insure that Syria isn't behaving this way as a deliberate distraction from Iran's nuclear program. If Syria is willing to shed blood to gain Iran a few months worth of time for their nuke program, then this whole matter takes on a different parameter.
Other than that angle, Syria is about to be out of Lebanon one way or another...and Hezbollah is about to get itself disarmed per UN resolution 1559.
OMG.........I did NOT know that. Well done!

Watch what happens when the pictures of the kids in Lebanon get out around the Middle East. Jeans and T-shirts. The mullahs are going to have a pig.
Look at it this way. There is going to be a revolution for democracy across the mideast and these terrorists are going to have to decide if they are for democracy or against it.
Hope Binny baby enjoys his cave.
I'm not sure yet that she is the most powerful as we have had some pretty powerful SOS's. However, she is great so far.
After this from Damascus was heard, OH Shiite!...
