#2 Shouldn't the title read US to take serious steps against Damascus and France to accept bribes to hamper our efforts?

Over the past months, the U.S. has stepped up pressure on Syria by openly criticizing Damascus' alleged support for the insurgency in Iraq and is expected to request the UN Security Council apply pressure on Syria.

France and other nations, according to The Washington Post, want to limit resolutions to "Syria's intervention in Lebanon" to prevent an Arab backlash

#4 France and other nations, according to The Washington Post, want to limit resolutions to "Syria's intervention in Lebanon" to prevent an Arab backlash

Hands up everyone who's sick and tired about hearing about "backlashes" of various sorts in regards to Arabs and Muslims, and wishes the world would start dealing with Arabs and Muslims lashing out in the first place.

Chirac plans to throw his panties at them in a hissy fit.

So long as they don't land on anyone's heads, that's OK.

#6 France agrees to let US pressure Syria if no further investigation into French involvement with Saddam is pursued. Quid pro quo.

#7 Syria was a French colony. France hopes to install a puppet regime after Baby is thrown out so that they have a reliable ally close in the neighborhood to pursue their anti-Israel policies. We should be very careful how much influence we allow the French, who incubates Ayatollah Khomeni, to gain in the new Syriuan government. We'll know we've failed when the new head of Syria goes to Carqacas to seal an oil deal with Hugo.

#8 Shouldn't the title read US to take serious steps against Damascus..?

Such steps will, in all likelihood, not include military action, even though it's "not off the table".
