American helicopters have carried out an attack inside Syria along its border with Iraq, Syrian media says.

The official Syrian news agency Sana said the raid took place in the Abu Kamal border area, in eastern Syria.

It quoted residents as saying that the attack targeted a house in the area in which a man and his four sons and two workers died. There is no confirmation.

Another report, by the private TV channel Al-Dunia, said that nine people had been killed and 14 wounded.

Syria has confirmed this.

1. All part of the PNAC plan... 7 countries in 5 years...

13. All in the plan... We have to stop this plan.

2. Other source described an insertion

and infantry killing people. That is a lot of trouble to kill a house full of people.

I would assume they wanted to confirm who was being killed.

3. I don't know what scares me more....

Knowing that we're raiding other countries and it's not treated as a big story, or the fact that I'm not shocked that it's happening.

23. Remember, McSame said there'll be "fireworks"

According to Limbaugh, McCain said there'll be "fireworks" the last 72 hours of the campaign.
I sure hope to God those fireworks don't have nuclear warheads.

How failed & filled with chaotic death the Bush Family, Dick Cheney and their policies of crony war profiteering in the region have been all along

international crisis in order to assist McCain?

Disgusting. :(
