You know Bush is going to lay it all out on the table with this guy. And this guy is going to tell Bush that they are setting up a USA of there own. A United States of Arabia. You watch. Combined forces do make sense. Syria, Egypt, Suadi Arabia, Yemen, Morrocco ,Iraq and Iran. Every country that Syria visited. Damascus fears US sanctions mark Syria next in line after Iraq Syria’s government-controlled press has recently been championing an effort to point the finger at Zionist factions operating within the American administration, claiming that they are working to impose economic and diplomatic sanctions on Syria. Syrian alarm has been raised lately by the White House’s plan to strike Iraq and topple Saddam Hussein’s “axis of evil” regime. Seeking to side with Cairo and Riyadh in a united stance that rejects a military strike against another Arab regime, officials in Damascus are no less motivated by the fear that their government, a long time member of the US list of terror harboring regimes, could be next in line. Officials are specifically referring to the Syria Accountability Act, a draft legislation pending in congress, which calls on Damascus to wash its hands of the Palestinian Hamas and Islamic Jihad, dubbed as terrorist groups by the US. It also demands that Damascus disarm the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah and withdraw its military forces from neighboring Lebanon. The bill threatens to slap a trade and investment ban on Damascus, sanctions much similar to those already in force against Iran and Libya. Having won the support of 120 out of the 435 members of congress earlier this year, the bill was later shelved by the Bush administration, who was at the time unwilling to compromise its role as a neutral arbiter of peace in the Middle East. With breaths of peace giving way to the winds of war in the Middle East, Syria is seeking to forge alliances and form a common Arab front to counter such alleged designs. — (menareport.com) albawaba.com
