Official news agencies have to determine the factuality of what they receive![Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/redphoenix40/laughing20dog.jpg)
Oh man stop it! I can't take this kind of laughter this early in the morning!

No reports or speculation that Hezz is involved in this.

Not necessary, I think.
For starters, I think we'll want our embassy building back. There will be a post-mullah Iran, and if the students in Iran manage to toss them out, we'll need an embassy as a base. We might want to think about changing the locks, though... (/clancy)
As for the Pueblo - that's what we have SEALs for. And large underwater demolition charges (since there's no chance in hell we could sail her out of the harbor).

Militants attack with guns, rockets, possibly truck bombs, at 10 am, and by 10:38 not only have Syrian troops put the attack down, but the Syrian government has also issued a statement, to boot? Interesting observation.

I have no idea what you're disagreeing about.
Reportedly, one Syrian officer was killed.

Thanks.

The embassy was closed to the public and the ambassador left - but the staff is still there, and it's still guarded by Marines. Incorrect. We still have an operating embassy in Damascus headed by a Charge'. We pulled our ambassador as a protest. US Embassy Damascus--key officers

3 attackers killed by Syrian security forces .. 4th wounded.
Pulled up in car, shouting religious slogans, perhaps car bomb, gunfight ensues with Syrian sec. guards guarding the compound. Possibly a Syrian sec. guard killed.

Tunnels are a problem in the ME, kind of like the drug tunnels at our borders.

Whoa-here we go again. How's that saying go.. "Fasten your seat belts folks- it's going to be a bumpy ride."
Can't say I'm surprised . Syria has been lurking in the shadows of the WOT for a long time.

the 'transfer of power' was a major statement of his condition. It was eerily like the transitions in the old USSR. They always played a game of hide the body until the next guy is firmly in place.
they understand money and power, rather than ideology.
Sure, but playing the ideolgy pays off better than just about anything. The downside is all of the other guys who wanna bump you off to take your place.

In twelve hours we'll find out that this was completely out of character for the perpetrators, they always paid their rent on time, and were depressed due to failing grades.

There are more than that including families. The list contains only key officers.

"'Attack' on US embassy in Syria"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "In April 2004, four people were killed in a clash between Syrian police and a team of suspected bombers in the diplomatic quarter of Damascus.
The authorities accused Islamic militants of trying to blow up an explosives-laden car near the Canadian embassy."
