US sets sights on Syria

.....President George W Bush stopped short of threatening US action against Damascus.....


Ummmmm, your article accidently (on purpose) forgot to
include a critical response to a question asked of Bush on
whether Syria was next, during this same Q&A on the White
House Lawn today. I saw the whole thing on Fox News FWIW.

"Each situation will require a different response," Mr
Bush said. "First things first. We're here in Iraq now."

US sets sights on Syria

President George W Bush stopped short of threatening US action against Damascus


Following is the White House transcript:........

..... Could Syria face military action if
they harbor these people?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, Syria just needs to cooperate with us. We've made
-- I made that clear on Friday. I will, if need be, reiterate it
today. The Syrian government needs to cooperate with the United States
and our coalition partners and not harbor any Baathists, any military
officials, any people who need to be held to account for their tenure
during what we are learning more and more about. It was one of the
most horrendous governments ever.....

Q. Could they face military action if they don't cooperate?

THE PRESIDENT: They just need to cooperate.

Q. Do you think there are weapons of mass destruction in Syria?

THE PRESIDENT: I think that we believe there are chemical weapons in
Syria, for example. And we will -- each situation will require a
different response and, of course, we're -- first things first. We're
here in Iraq now; and the second thing about Syria is that we expect
cooperation. And I'm hopeful we'll receive cooperation.........
