#1 I didn't know that we were cooperating with the Syranians. Sure had me fooled for a while.

#2 "Our sense is that they protest a bit too much and that they are capable of doing more. We expect them to do more."

The lady doth protest too much methinks.

#3 Me too, AP. Must've been one of those "deep cover" things. So deep, you never knew it was happening...

#4 Didn't ya know? Syria is where we send all those Syrian-Canadians (or is it Canadian-Syrians?) to be tortured. It's been in all the Canuck papers.

#5 The Bush administration has complained bitterly that Syria is not doing enough to halt the flow of men and money to the insurgency in Iraq.

"We thought, why should we continue to cooperate?" he said.

"You're not doing enough."

"Then I won't do ANYTHING!"

Two-year-old logic, or Arab diplomacy? Who can tell the difference?

#6 AP - seriously, we have been sharing intell on AQ, and yes, we have renditioned some guys there.

Clearly, however, what we've gotten from them is less important than the problems we've had with them. And I think we can all agree that renditioning people to SYRIA was a stain on the WOT.

#7 renditioning people to SYRIA was a stain on the WOT.

I'll wait to make that judgement till I have all the evidence, which may not happen in my lifetime. So, I'll remain undecided.

#8 And I think we can all agree that renditioning people to SYRIA was a stain on the WOT.

Why? Were the Syrians letting them go? Because that's the only wrong thing I can think of doing to a terrorist.

#11 Should have rendered them instead of renditioning them.

#12 All hope in the WOT, in the Middle East, heck, in everything is lost...the Syrians are not cooperating!!

First Constantine got voted off "American Idol", and now THIS!!! Why do I even get out of bed anymore??

#13 The question is... is Syria only pretending that they will no longer pretend to cooperate, or are they serious about no longer pretending?

#14 I agree with Frank G. If they are publicly not
cooperating, then we can not cooperate on crossing the border by aircraft.

Well, well, well. Someone's trying out for Baghdad Bob's old job, aren't they?

#17 2b cooperating or not 2b, that is the question. Whether tis nobler to audit now or just send him a big bill.
