DAMASCUS, Syria — Islamic militants attempted to storm the U.S. Embassy in Damascus on Tuesday using automatic rifles, hand grenades and at least one van rigged with explosives, the government said. Four people were killed in the brazen attack, including three of the assailants.

Maybe we should rig the entire grounds with toe-poppers

Good. Glad it was stopped.

Syrian government is too!!

[Psalm 73]

"Syrian government is too!!"

Oh yeah - Bashar knows that Bush's response would be nothing like Carter's.
Assad's a jerk, but he's not stupid - we would LOVE for him to give us a good, iron-clad reason to bomb the crap out of him.

I am 100% sure that the whole incident was orchestrated by the Syrian terrorist regime to show the world that Syria is also suffering from terrorism and fighting terrorism. We must not fall for the deceptions of this Syrian Baath terrorist regime.

My first question would be is the Syrian govt involved?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Who knows why they do the things they do. Bashar's father kept a couple of old Nazis comfortable for years...

[cripplecreek]

Iran is also a possibility and an interesting one at that.

You would probably have to ask Randi Rhodes. After all, she IS the leading expert on Syria and Hezzbollah. </sarc>

Throw out Bashir with the Baath water!

Does anybody besides me find it rather odd that a Chinese diplomat was on the roof of his embassy's garage watching this take place (he received shrapnel wounds to the face) when this took place?

Security guard, yes. Repairman, sure. But a diplomat? On the roof of the garage?
