Moreover, the Syrians are expected to end their support for anti-American elements operating in Iraq

And what do we do once the Syrians break this deal?

Yeah...this sounds like a deal that ASSAD wants...don't see anything to indicate that Bush is all that interested.

Sounds like appeasement to me.

Assad will not cease supporting the Jihadists or terrorists any more than a lion will become a vegetarian.

We should NEVER accept such a deal. We should ROLL into Syria and capture Iraq's WMD's. Then we should HANG Syria's leadership. This as a start.

Now how could we have left out that little detail? Oh, that's right. Saddam never had any WMDs. How silly of me.

I think not. For two reasons

1. Assad is implicated. Kofi hisself can not undo this.

2. Syria has aligned with Iran. Hezbullah will carry out the orders. Done deal.

Well that is a start. Now how about the WMDs Saddam shipped into Syria before the War?

How about turning over the WMD's they took off Saddam's hands?

I see no advantage if we accept the deal as written in this piece. There should be no deal unless its a Khadafi-style climb-down. We get the WMD, both Syrian and Iraqi, plus we get all the incriminating details. We want names, and we want places.

And we want the stuff boxed up and shipped to the US.

I'm looking for confirmation of this story. So far nothing.

Not going to happen.

Assad and his crime family murdered one of the top leaders of another country.

The screws are going to be put to them way worse than this.

It may be appeasing a tiny player while we focus on the bigger ones. Once Iran lights up, small silly deals with Syria won't matter.

So what?

Even if Assad came out and said he ordered Hariri's death it means nothing. The US still wouldn't be able to institute regime change against Syria because we don't have the troops and the worst possible situation is if we simply took out Assad and left Syria a destabilized mess.
