"They are an expression of the same well known old policy of exporting crises and putting blame on others to cover up failure in preserving security and stability in Iraq," the editorial said, reasserting that Damascus has exerted all efforts to safeguard the borders and to support Iraq in preserving its stability and unity.

Iraq and the United States have both complained that Syria has done too little to block the flow of so-called foreign fighters into Iraq across the long and porous border. Syria has always denied it is allowing foreign fighters to cross saying it is impossible to control the more than 600 kilometers (360-mile) desert border.

On Sunday, Iraq closed a northern crossing point on Syrian-Iraqi borders in an attempt, according to Iraqi officials, to stanch the flow of insurgents from Syria.

Where is a good cruise missle when you need one. Syrian government is on its last legs anyway. The recent defector is spilling his guts out, because he wants to lead the post-Assad government. He's revealing all the involvement of the Iranians, jihadists, and palistinian scum in Syria.

Tell them "Fine, we'll control it for you." Then, obliterate with extreme prejudice any human or vehicle traffic moving across the border. And while we're at it, destroy those training camps that don't exist.

The only way to secure our achievements in Iraq is to destroy the Baathist State in Syria or so devastate it that it can no longer provide active support to the monsters killing civilians and Americans in the Middle East.
