| JPost - Reg Req’d; Update for the resulting wailing and gnashing of teeth Syria said Sunday it plans to lodge a complaint with the United Nations against Israel for its attack on a Palestinian
"Cuz we’d get our asses handed to us"
"we’re not done putting up the ’baby-milk-factory’ signs yet, nor carefully placing the puppy, lamb and baby duck corpses" The Israeli raid came in retaliation for a suicide bombing carried out by the Palestinian militant Islamic Jihad against a restaurant in the Israeli coastal city of Haifa Saturday. Nineteen people and the bomber were killed. "We will not tolerate the continuation of this axis of terror between Tehran, Damascus and Gaza to continue to operate and kill innocent men, women and children," Raanan Gissin, a spokesman for Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told CNN. "We know where you live" Israel said the camp was used as training base by Islamic Jihad, whose leader, Ramadan Shallah, is based in Damascus. In a statement faxed to The Associated Press in Beirut, Islamic Jihad denied it maintained any military or training bases in Syria. "The Islamic Jihad Movement confirms that it does not have any training center or military presence in Syria," the statement said. "This Israeli declaration is a failed attempt by the Zionist entity’s leadership to export its internal crisis and historic predicament - which was caused by the intefadeh (uprising) and resistance - to neighboring countries shades of Vieques! U.S. out of Syria...oh, wait... Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri urged the international community to deter Israel in a statement released by his office and faxed to The Associated Press in Beirut. "Hurry! We may be next" "Lebanon ... calls on the international community and the United Nations to restrain Israel and the Sharon government, which alone poses a danger to international security and peace by attacking a sovereign state and an
"Idiot! It’s Cycle of Violence™! Cycle! Not Circle!" "We cannot remain in this circle of violence which threatens the whole peace process and Israel must realize that its current policies will not lead to any stability in the region," Muasher told the official Petra news agency and Jordan Television.
metaphor heaven "It’s ... a foolish offer by the Israelis to the Americans to launch a military attack against Syria to pressure her because of its stances in the Security Council," said al-Shouebi. the prone position, huh? Syria has been under US pressure to expel the leaders of Islamic Jihad and Hamas. In an effort to appease the Americans, Syria closed the offices of the two groups after the US invasion of Iraq out of fear it could be the next nation targeted by the United States. But it has refused to act further. and reopened them - jeebus, this is the AP, and even we Rantburgers knew that - couldn’t they have finished that important fact? | ||||||

| #8 Yeah, but it was the PFLP-GC and the Syrians who said it was empty. They'll also tell you this is where they stored their fluffiest bunnies... |

| #7 TGA My reading of the article was that Isreal bombed an empty camp. If that's the case then they must be getting intelligence from the CIA. :-) |

| #6 Well I think Israel did exactly what the U.S. did in Afghanistan: bombing camps of terrorists who kill Israelis. Actually I have only one question: How long will Syria be on the UNSC? And which other nutbag Arab country will replace it? |

| #5 SH, don't worry. We'll veto it because we probably gave them the intelligence in the first place. |

| #4 Military responses have not always proved to be of benefit to Syria, he (Jabbour) said. "Holy Six Day War, Batman!" Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri urged the international community to deter Israel in a statement released by his office and faxed to The Associated Press in Beirut. I guess my entry in the futures page about "Israel re-invades south Lebanon" is looking a little better now, huh? |

| #2 No oil for you, Syria. Let the Saudis pick up your tab if they want, or start making vegetable oil. We have to squeeze the sources of money to stop this terrorist madness. That means Iran and that means Saudi Arabia. Iraq is now a sink and not a source of funds to the terrorists. |

| #1 "Israel has military might, and Syria has a strong legal position, said Jabbour" Uh oh, I heard that Johnny Cochran and the ACLU are already in mid-flight to Syria. "If the bomb hits, then the Arabs throw fits!" |
