Why we're not going to attack Syria.

[cornermouse]

What an unbelievable coincidence. And when I say unbelievable, I mean unbelievable. Bush makes noises at Syria. A top Lebanese politician gets blown up. Blame lands at the feet of the Syrian troops.

By the way, has anyone checked to see if Rummy already has those independent military spies that he wanted, hired and working?

1. If we've just heard about them.............

that means they've been operative for years.

My thoughts exactly. The Iran Mosque fire, Lebanon........smells like covert, wet, black ops to me.

2. So, why aren't we going to attack Syria?

And if you're wondering about Rummy's SS; they've been operational for a couple of years now. Go here for good info on world domination:

3. They don't need to.

They've stirred up the Lebanese enough that Syria may have their hands full with them for the near future. This frees Bush up to go after Iran.

4. the Lebanese may be a little--skeptical of the U.S. explanation

7. According to the news this afternoon,

the Lebanese are busy demanding that Syria get out.

5. I see your point

Syria would be easier though...hmmmm

6. Looks to me like a black ops Archduke Ferdinand incident.

Noone would benefit more than the PNAC and their agenda.

They need a draft folks and in in the next few months we're going to be treated to some Gulf of Tonkin games.

Is 36 too old to be drafted?

fingers are crossed.

8. What the heck would we attack Syria with?

A brigade of senior citizens? A den of Cub Scouts? Now that Syria and Iran have become best buddies, it's only a matter of time before one of two things - maybe both things - happens: the draft will be reinstated and Iraq will boot us out and align with its neighbors.

9. here's another reason Syria won't be attacked

The US has been outsourcing torture to Syria. If the US attacks Syria, then the US would have to find someone else to do the torturing.
