Bush: Syria trying to "get back into Lebanon"

WASHINGTON, July 18 (Reuters) - The Middle East crisis indicates that Syria is trying to "get back into Lebanon," U.S. President George W. Bush said on Tuesday.

"There's suspicions that the instability created by the Hizbollah attacks (on Israel) will cause some in Lebanon to invite Syria back in," Bush told reporters, adding that would be against U.S. and U.N. policy.

1. Letting another country run its own affairs is against US policy?

Good one boy georgie - you drunken sailor.

3. as much as i disagree with

as much as i hate * and disagree with him, syria has no right to interfere in lebanon. they were there for years directly and are still influencing matters with their client hizbollah terror group.

[malaise]

6. If the Lebanese want Syria to help them

how the fugg is that US business? These are fugging neighbours damn it with shares families and relatives. Who the hell is Bush. YOu think Bush can tell Jamaicans we can't help Cuba or the reverse. Fugg all global self-interested hegemonic bullies.

I can't wait until the CHinese tell America who it can be friends with. I hope I'm alive for that karma.

7. Hezbollah didn't want Syria out.

Allah's Party staged a fairly large protest to force the Leb. government to have Syria stay.

The anti-Syrian groups mounted even larger protests for Syria to go.

10. IIRC

The pro- and anti-demonstrations were of equal size. Except of course in CCM, which of course drooled over "Cedar revolution" and ignored the pro-Syria demonstrations.

11. I remember that well

Indeed all now I have doubts about who started that uprising with that strange assassination. I do rememebr Condi was in the area when it happened.

12. You are not alone with your doubts

2. Yeah, and Saddam has WMD!

Nothing the Bush regime says is true, nothing they do is righteous!

[Jacobin]

4. After he just asked them to stop Hezbollah in Lebanon

Now he wants them out, two months ago he wanted them out, last weekend he wants them to fix Lebanon, now he wants them out.

:crazy:

5. Bush is cummin in his pants. He's got Syria and Iran and he's beatin

that drumb. They may just get the war they want so they can pull off another presidental win.

The fucks.

8. Who's suspicious? John Bolton, Dick Cheney or Bill Kristol?

Which neocon is responsible Georgie? Cough up a name.

Unsourced suspicion statements from partisans shouldn't be considered valid news.

9. Duh

Except that Lebanese are not flocking to Syria, but to Hezbollah. Syria would be the best compromise that West can hope.

14. LOL...

and to think once upon a time Hezbullah actually said it kidnapped the two soldiers in response to Israeli aggression in Gaza after that soldier got kidnapped by Hamas in retaliation for repeated Israeli attacks in Gaza.

Little did we know the whole time our arch-nemesis Syria was cooking up a cunning plan in league with arch-villian Iran...

The media is really working this one.

[allemand]

16. Israel is bombing Lebanon so that Syria can "get back" into the country???

What kind of logic is that? :crazy:
