Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Syria determined to continue occupying Lebanon
2004-10-21
Foreign Minister al Shara condemns UN resolution demanding Syria withdraw all its forces as "illegal intervention in its internal affairs".
It's ours, dang it! We occupied it fair and square."
Syrian foreign Minister Farouq al Shara has rejected the joint Franco-American Security Council resolution calling on Damascus to end its illegal occupation of Lebanon, and withdraw all its trops from its neighbor's territory. The resolution was tabled in wake of recent intelligence information that Syria, at the prodding of its ally Iran, was allowing al Qaeda to set up base on the Lebanese coast, from which it could threaten southern Europe. This development, in conjunction with renewed reports of ongoing Syrian coperation with the Sunni terrorist insurgency in Iraq, seems to put and end to the speculations that Syria would be willing to end its alliance with Iran and become part of the Pax Americana.

#4  Take the offer back to Teheran for discussions. How many months?

Answer is "We can do this, but we can't do that" Take that back to Brussels. More discussions. How many months?

Another proposal made to Mullahs. They reconsider. "we can do this, but we can't do that" How many months?

Finally Big 3 agrees to discuss possible sanctions at UNSC level. How many months?

Sanctions finally voted in. How many months/years before they bite atomic program?

Guess what Iran will then announce to the world.

Utter idiocy. Big 3 and UN will have called Iranian bluff, but at the price of a atomic weaponized Mullacracy. Note this is Kerry has the same plan. Tell your friends, RB'ers. W is the one.
