Like I guess it only happens if the US attacks over the border but it's okay if Syria does the same?

Respect goes both ways, does it not?

You seem to be confusing the government of Syria with Al Qaeda... Do you make similar correlations between the government of Pakistan and the Taliban?

I'm not confused about what "support" is.

Try listening to the Syrian Foreign Minister Al Muallem's press conference live on BBC right now. Why so sure that Syria support Al Qaeda? Because that's what you 'feel'? Seems odd given that Syria and Iraq have common defence agreements and shared interest in regional stability... especically given Syria's secularity.

I'm not the one condemining the US aggressiveness in five countries because of a raid on an Al Q post, because I "feel" Syria wasn't informed of the situation.

A lot of assumptions being thrown around in this post, no?

Did the Syrian minister say less Al Q was good or bad?  Or was it only talk about little Satan?

Funnily enough, he specifically condemned Al Qaeda and reiterated several times the commitment of the Syrian government to combating Al Qaeda, just like any secular monarchy fearful of a theocratic takeover would. I'll try and source some youtube. I condemn US operations in the middle east for far more reasons than this one incident ftr.

Well, then fair enough.  Hopefully we can apologize for killing the AQ on Syrian soil.

If the claim of the victims being a fisherman, a couple, a father and his three children turn out to be false. If not then the US will be responsible for nothing less than an act of terrorism. Either way apologies will very much be necessary.

I found it a little bit pathetic of Dana Perino to basically steadfastly refuse to comment on this now, tomorrow or ever....

I bet they've done it loads of times before, to Iran also. It's just that this time they were too loud or someone didn't get as much money as they wanted.

Thinking of expanding to Syria USA?

The US military is attempting to do its job, such as attacking these facilities because its obvious that the country they're in isn't prepared to jack shit.

And if Syria was aware of the AQ base within their borders and were informed of the raid what would you say then?

There's way too much ifs and buts in this Cam.  I think you jumped the gun a bit by throwing out a blanket aggression accusation.

I would expect them to do something about it. Irrespective of ifs and buts there should have been no transgression of Syria's border. Many questions remain to be answered you're right:

a) When Israel bombed a suspected Syrian nuclear facility, Syria pretended nothing happened. When the US breached their sovereign land and air space to attack 'militants' it's TV crew city with press conferences and stretchers carrying dead children. Why is that?

b) Why is Syria all over the press and the US refuses to be drawn in any way, shape or form?

c) Why is the US contravening a common regional agreement not to transgress the borders of countries neighbouring Iraq?

d) Why would Syria deliberately harbour rogue militants who would just as soon see the fall of the House of Assad as they would the US occupation of Iraq?

Lots of questions.

Iran and Syria are provoking you (US administration) and you're stupid enough to fall for the bait. In the eyes of the world you will be aggressors again. Thats why theres such a bad opinion on US when it comes to military intervention. Set billions of missiles around your continent if that makes you think you're safer. But don't attack every country on the world map just cos one of their guys farts next to your ambassador.

I don't think this is the right forum for you.

Why?

Are you jealous that I can make more friends?

I also like how people assume Middle Eastern countries are all full of oil.
