Leahy certain Syria was behind Hariri's death | |
2005-06-07 | |
A senior U.S. senator said on Monday he had no doubt Syria was behind the assassination of the former Lebanese prime minister, Rafik al-Hariri, according to intelligence he had seen. Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, made the comments to reporters after meeting U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan on a variety of issues and offering him support. "I have seen enough of the evidence on Hariri to know that they (Syrians) were behind it," Leahy said without elaborating. "I don't think there is a single person in Lebanon and probably no one in Syria who doesn't believe they were behind it. There is no question -- no question in my mind -- that they were behind the assassination." Syria has denied involvement in the killing.

#5 "There is no question -- no question in my mind -- that they were behind the assassination." That is until the Republicans want to do something about it. |

#4 tt - I recall a whole pantheon of Dhimmidonks who publicly echoed the belief that Saddam had WMD's and was a menace to the entire world. Yet what has the meme been? That the MSM and the Dhimmidonks have kept mum about that, yet printed and speechified consistently that Bush was unjustified in attacking Saddam, despite their statements and his proper reliance on Tenet's CIA being something more than a collection of incompetent, axe-grinding, seditious boobs who told him it was a "slam dunk", indicates to me that this uber-asshole (and his MSM buddies) will conveniently forget, should that become expedient. Only the blogosphere seems to have a memory for those inconvenient moments and, indeed, you're certainly right about us: we won't forget. ;-) |

#3 IMO it's a GOOD thing when a senior Dem. comes out and says Syria is a serious menace in the region. For one thing, we have him on record on this ... and if we end up going over the border to relieve Assad of the burden of governing, this will be one piece of the justification. |

#2 Ehhhhhhhh ... Maybe it's the more charitable in me, but must we really be so ... uncharitable? I doubt few will remember in weeks, much less years, whence the reference. |
