Condoleezza Rice does not exclude an opportunity for the USA to strike Syria and Iran

The International Committee of the US Senate has held yet another session devoted to the situation in the Middle East. The US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice stated during the discussion that Iran and Syria were guilty of ongoing terrorist activities in Iraq. According to Rice, the US administration does not exclude an opportunity to strike the above-mentioned two states.

"Syria and indeed Iran must decide whether they wish to side with the cause of war or with the cause of peace," Rice said. According to the US Secretary of State, the two Mideastern states allow militants and military assistance reach insurgents in Iraq. Answering a question about a possible military operation against Syria and Iran, Rice said that the USA was still on a "diplomatic course" with Damascus but the military option remained open. "The President never takes any option off the table and he shouldn't," said Dr Rice when asked about a military option

Iran and Syria do have quite impressive links with the population of Iraq. Nevertheless, neither Damascus, nor Tehran have ever been Iraq's allies during Saddam Hussein's stay at power.

It looks like the USA is ready to use any reason to make Arab states carry responsibility for US-led actions, which made Iraq become the hottest of all hot spots on the globe

Is the only option for war with Syria and Iran for Bush & Cheney!!!
