Iraq should give Syria an ultimatum.

What Syria is doing is an act of war.

[Arpege92]

Supply the Iraq soldiers with top notch weapons and make the Syrians wish they never stepped foot inside of Iraq.

When will the Muslim 'Street' realize they are ruled by self serving thugs? Instead of fighting democracy, these foreign fighters should be racing to Iraq to ensure democracy takes root.

The murdering cowards operating in Iraq won't stop operations there if Syria gets overthrown.

Still worth doing it though. :')

This policy by Assad has a twofold purpose. Number one, it delays the US exit from Iraq, and therefore delays the US entrance into Syria. Number two, it keeps the anti-Baathists busy fighting someone besides Assad.

By election time 2006, US involvement in Iraq will be greatly reduced, and Syria will be on the UN hit list. GWB and the US have won that struggle of wills (for the next while anyway).
