Iraq Official Says Syrian Help Needed
Iraq will spend more on jobs and reconstruction to battle the insurgency in the restive west, but neighboring Syria must clamp down on terrorists crossing the border, Deputy Prime Minister Barham Saleh said Thursday.

Saleh said it is important to "get our Syrian neighbors to behave more responsibly ... and to clamp down on the presence and activity of some of the former regime leaders who are presently in Syria, as well as some of the terrorists that are going across the borders."

The U.S. and Iraqi governments have long accused Syria of not doing enough to stop insurgents crossing into Iraq to fight U.S. troops. Syria denies that, saying it is impossible to fully control the long desert border.

1. Syria and Iran should tell Bush this...
We'll secure our border just as soon as you secure yours.
