That is why I used the word, "Crazy." Looks like the Eye Doctor in Damascus doesn't hear too good. Could be bad for his health.

Syria Warned Again Not to 'Meddle' in Iraq
Wolfowitz Says U.S. May Rethink Damascus Policy

Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz issued a new warning to Syria yesterday, telling Congress that the United States might adopt a tougher policy toward Damascus if it continues to harbor terrorists and provides a haven for Iraqi war criminals.

In some of the toughest language used by the administration against the Syrians so far, Wolfowitz told the Senate Armed Services Committee that Damascus was "behaving badly" in allowing hundreds of Islamic fighters to take buses over the border into Iraq and supplying night vision goggles to soldiers in the Iraqi army.

"In recent days the Syrians have been shipping killers into Iraq to try to kill Americans," he said. "We don't welcome that. We've stopped it when we've found those people. So, it is a problem. I think it is important that Iraq's neighbors not meddle with Iraq."

He added: "If they continue, then we need to think about what our policy is with respect to a country that harbors terrorists or harbors war criminals, or was in recent times shipping things to Iraq."
