We Have Been Warned: Syria

Before the US House of Representatives, October 26, 2005

We have been warned. Prepare for a broader war in the Middle East, as plans are being laid for the next U.S.-led regime change – in Syria. A UN report on the death of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafig Hariri elicited this comment from a senior U.S. policy maker: “Out of tragedy comes an extraordinary strategic opportunity.” This statement reflects the continued neo-conservative, Machiavellian influence on our foreign policy. The “opportunity” refers to the long-held neo-conservative plan for regime change in Syria, similar to what was carried out in Iraq.

This plan for remaking the Middle East has been around for a long time. Just as 9/11 served the interests of those who longed for changes in Iraq, the sensationalism surrounding Hariri’s death is being used to advance plans to remove Assad.

Congress already has assisted these plans by authorizing the sanctions placed on Syria last year. Harmful sanctions, as applied to Iraq in the 1990s, inevitably represent a major step toward war since they bring havoc to so many innocent people. Syria already has been charged with developing weapons of mass destruction based on no more evidence than was available when Iraq was similarly charged.

the place to use it?

their mercenaries, than our children.

They cannot "do" Syria. We only do one war at a time. You want to see military recruitment really suffer, start another pointless war in the middle east. The most brainwashed red staters would keep their kids away from the recruiters.

This does prove one thing, however: someone in the White House is pretty much high all the time.

Die the Glorious Death as Ye Smite Infidels Every Which Way (including those pesky free thinkers).

O' How Glorious, nay Fabulous, to Die while Maximizing BushCo Profits and Infamy !

Down with Traitors! Down with Wrong Thinkers! Down with Everyone Who is Left Behind !

Look what a few nukes have done for North Korea.

some refused to uhm "plug their nose." Oh well, I guess it's not their kids who will be underneath the bombs or drafted. :sarcasm:
