More signs of Syria emerge in Iraq |
2004-12-31 |
When US troops stormed the rebel-held city of Fallujah last month, they uncovered photos of senior Syrian officials that have further strained the already tense relations between Syria and Iraq, according to the Iraqi ambassador to Syria. Several captured insurgents were found in possession of the photographs, confirmation, according to Iraqi officials, that some elements in the Syrian regime - perhaps acting independently - are involved in Iraq's bloody insurgency. "Prime Minister Iyad Allawi wrote a letter to the Syrians saying he had the pictures but was not going to release them despite being under pressure from the Americans to do so," says Hassan Allawi, Iraq's newly appointed ambassador to Damascus. |

#4 Last week, Gen. George W. Casey, the commander of US forces in Iraq, said that the exiled Baathists had formed a group called the New Regional Command and were running the insurgency from Syria. We need to lay it to Syria in no uncertain terms. If they harbor terrorists, they are our enemy! |

#3 Several captured insurgents were found in possession of the photographs, confirmation, according to Iraqi officials, that some elements in the Syrian regime - perhaps acting independently - are involved in Iraq’s bloody insurgency. Come on guys, it's gonna take more than just photos of Syrian officials to prove their complicity. US Marines in Fallujah released a report on Nov. 20 that revealed they had discovered a hand-held Global Positioning System receiver with waypoints originating in western Syria and the names of four Syrian foreign fighters contained in a ledger. A little better, but something more substantial would be great, like intercepted communications between Syrians and Zarqawi's thugs. Or capture of known Syrians in a terrorist safe house. Hard proof is the ticket. You know your objectives, now move out. ;) |
