Rice: Syria Must Be Held Accountable

The international community must find a way to hold Syrian authorities accountable for the death of a leading Lebanese reformer, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday.

Rice said she was deeply troubled by a U.N. report implicating Syria in the killing last February of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

Rice spoke to reporters after the release of a report by U.N. investigator Detlev Mehlis that established a clear link between Syrian officials and their Lebanese allies in Hariri's murder. She declined to discuss next steps, beyond saying that some kind of international mechanism must be established to ensure that Syria is held accountable.

...

"Accountability is going to be very important for the international community," she said.

1. Will it be Syria followed by Iran or vice versa?

Is Syria the head fake leading to the invasion of Iran?

[PurityOfEssence]

7. Syria will be first

We're a bit short of forces right now, but that IDF is just sitting there doing nothing...

[tatertop]

8. The IDF will be sitting this dance out

Sharon is way too sly (evil, yes, but sly)
to involve the IDF when Bush is so willing
to sacrafice US citizens.
And US citizens are too uninformed to say no.

19. I would be amazed...

...if we went to war with any other nation anytime soon.

Seriously, how much more war and deaths can our country handle? I think the * administration is going to crumble if it happens again...I (and along with most DUers here I hope!!!) would be sure to make sure it does crumble...actually, we should anyway :evilgrin:

2. "Accountability is going to be very important

for the international community," she said.

Finally I agree w/ her on something. I suspect the object of the accountability might be different though.

[fshrink]

9. Exactly.

Accountability for falsifying threats, documents, falsifying and tampering with electoral votes, twice, accountability for exerting pressure on journalists and individuals, accountability for repeatedly violating the separation of church and state. Accountability of the idiot for being the largest and deepest embarassment to this nation, the world and the human species as a whole.

Earlier Friday, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, said that it was "very dramatic news about the extent of Syrian involvement" in the Mehlis report.

"I don't think there is any doubt that this going to require a strong follow up from the Security Council," he added.

[tatertop]

25. See, we MUST invade - and soon.

Bolton is a hoot!

[leesa]

[Loonman]

15. Condi is an incompetent idiot

Does anybody listen to what she says? Besides the usual suspects?

[Tight_rope]

16. Speaking of "Accountability"! When is her indictment going to be issued?

[pinniped]

17. Accountability, what a novel concept. Too bad none of these evil...

war criminals know of no such thing.

This is the most "deeply troubled" bunch of polichickens the world has ever seen.

Like I said in another post, * probably ordered the hit, it wouldn't be the first time.

18. America is protecting the terrorist Carriles who blew up a jetliner

The terrorist Luis Posada Carriles who entered the US illegally is being protected by the US government.

Re: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4289136.stm

America is also protecting the fugitive war criminals Sgt Shawn Gibson, Capt Philip Wolford and Lt Col Philip de Camp, of the US 3rd Infantry Division, murderers of Spanish cameraman Jose Couso.

Re: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4357684.stm

The day America begins abiding by the rule of law, is the day that America will get any credence when it complains about law breaking elsewhere.

22. Syria: Rice Must Be Held Accountable

Lets hold Syria accountable when Rice is held accountable for her lies.

[against all enemies]

23. Syria, " Rice must be held accountable."

The international community must find a way to hold Rice, and other Bush authorities accountable for the death of thousands of Iraqi children...

[cantstandbush]

24. America must also be held "accountable."

Accountable for the existence and power of Saddam.
Accountable for the lies to illegally invade Iraq.
Accountable for 9/11 failures.
Accountable for the lack of security for its citizens in a natural disaster.
Accountable for its corporations involved in the Oil-for-food scandal
Accountable for the killing and maiming of hundreds of thousands innocent Iraqis since 1991.
Accountable for the creation of a wave of Islamic extremists who will fight us the rest of our existence.

[HuffleClaw]

26. accountability ? ?

"Accountability is going to be very important for the international community," she said.

which is exactly WHY the UN won't be playing their game this time. so, expect the usual talk of 'irrelevence' after the usual bluster and threats. MAYBE the UK will play in this particular sandbox, but who else will?

[WinkyDink]

27. Sca-rew HER!

AND her Ferragamos!

[bluestateguy]

28. Fine. They should be held accountable.

by the Syrian people, and/or by the Lebanese people.

It's none of our fucking business.

Ugh. Pat Buchanan makes more sense every day.

[No Exit]

30. The Rest Of Us: Rice must be held accountable.

She is up to her eyeballs in this disgusting, anti-American, cabal.
