Default Invade Syria? - 10-20-2005, 10:02 AM

[url=http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05292/590727.stm:4a7c1]Link[/url:4a7c1]

[quote:4a7c1]U.S. military and Bush administration civilian officials confirmed last week that U.S. forces have invaded Syria and engaged in combat with Syrian forcess

An unknown number of Syrians are acknowledged to have been killed; the number of Americans -- if any -- who have died in Syria so far has not yet been revealed by the U.S. sources, who by the way insist on remaining faceless and nameless.[/quote:4a7c1]

why haven't I heard this from any other source?...

and it says, "U.S. forces have started fighting Syrians at Iraq's border". That can go either way...does it mean that they're in Iraq and have fought syrians? or does it mean they're in Syria by the Iraqi boarder?

No. The US says Syrian fighters are coming over the border to fight in Iraq, so the US has said that it might go into Syria to try to stop this from happening.

[quote:d6ed1]Pushed by senators from both parties to define the limits of U.S. involvement in Iraq and the Middle East, Rice also declined to rule out the use of military force in
Iran or
Syria, although she said the administration prefers diplomacy.[/quote:d6ed1]


http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/15/polit ... yt&emc=rss

[quote:d6ed1]One of Mr. Bush's most senior aides, who declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the subject, said that so far American military forces in Iraq had moved right up to the border to cut off the entry of insurgents, but he insisted that they had refrained from going over it.

But other officials, who say they got their information in the field or by talking to Special Operations commanders, say that as American efforts to cut off the flow of fighters have intensified, the operations have spilled over the border - sometimes by accident, sometimes by design. [/quote:d6ed1]

It's can't be confirmed that US forces are actually inside Syria, but the possibility is there.

Well, i have this whole theory about Syria but it's to long to get into at the present moment. What i will say is this. Where do you think most of the "insurgents" came from??

......and where do you think Iraq moved their weapons to after weeks and weeks of warnings of an invasion??

The weapons inspectors were in Iraq before the invasion. They said he had no weapons.

But I still think that releasing that information to the general public was a terrible idea. It should have kept secret and dealt with the people that it affected.

Thats all nice and dandy but it's something i don't believe. Saddam needed to be ousted for many reasons...including nuclear development.
