Tuesday, October 11, 2005 US was Considering Military Strikes Against Syria AFP: The US recently debated launching military strikes inside Syria against camps used by insurgents operating in neighboring Iraq. Who saved the day and talked us out of such suicide? Condi Rice... she flew in wearing her cape and big letter "S" (for shoes, of course) and successfully opposed the idea at a meeting of senior American officials held on October 1, Newsweek reported, citing unnamed US govt sources. One unnamed intelligence official told Newsweek that US pressure on the Syrian leadership could prove counter-productive and that Washington may be "radicalizing the country." Say it ain't so. THAT is so unexpected. |
