Syria says U.S. accusations like those of Iraq WMD
Edited on Sun Jun-12-05 05:44 PM by ls317
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. accusations that Syria has not fully withdrawn its intelligence agents from Lebanon are similar to the unfounded prewar charges that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, Syria's ambassador to the United States said on Sunday.

3. I love how the article is framed, with the paraphrased quote as the first
sentence. MSM is writing a lot more anti-* (pro-truth) articles lately.

9. clever--using Bush lies for their own purposes. clever indeed.


..."I would say it's a shame that the world's unique superpower, the United States of America, will degrade itself to this level," Imad Moustapha said on CNN's "Late Edition."

After almost 30 years in Lebanon, Syria has said it had pulled out all military and intelligence personnel after former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri was assassinated in February.

"The day we completed our withdrawal from Lebanon, the very same day the United States repeatedly continued saying from the very early stages, 'No, Syria has not withdrawn from Lebanon. Syria has agents there. We have information and reports that Syria still has agents there,"' Moustapha said.

"This is untrue. This is just as credible as the story of Iraq's WMDs before the war." ....
