Bush says military action against Syria "last resort"

[dogday]

Isn't this what Bush said about Iraq? If so, we are in trouble folks, we will be going to war with Syria...

DUBAI (Reuters) - President George W. Bush said military action was a last resort in dealing with Syria and he hoped Damascus would cooperate with a probe into the killing of former Lebanese premier Rafik al-Hariri.
"A military (option) is always the last choice of a president," he told Al Arabiya television in an interview aired on Tuesday when asked about a U.N. investigation that implicated Syrian officials in the killing of Hariri.

"I am hoping that they will cooperate. It (military action) is the last -- very last option," he said. "But on the other hand, you know -- and I've worked hard for diplomacy and will continue to work the diplomatic angle on this issue."

Reuters obtained a transcript of the Bush interview, conducted in Washington on Monday, from Dubai-based Al Arabiya.

10. Add to that, this statement by Blair

TONY Blair last night stepped up the diplomatic offensive on Iran and Syria.

The PM warned Iran that life could become "a lot more difficult" if it carries on defying the international community.

He also warned it not to continue backing terrorism in Iraq, amid claims that Tehran has given devices to insurgents which have been used against UK troops.

President Bush has refused to rule out military action against Iran over its nuclear programme.

11. Those who would let him do this, off with their heads and display

them for future reference.

In other words, if anyone lets him go to war with Syria, they should have their heads examined and then removed.

And put up on stakes outside the Whitehouse as a reminder to the rest of them.
