A top source from the Iraqi Ministry of Defense told the Al-Watan Saudi newspaper yesterday that members from the Syrian army have joined the insurgents in Al-Qaiem against the US and Iraqi forces.

Woo-hoo!

If true, the Syrian Baby Doc has stepped into it big time. We'll now have the right to go after his troops, establish buffer zones, bomb inside Syria, etc.

What a damfool.

At least 35 among the Syrian army who were arrested during the fighting confessed about their ranks and their Syrian army units. They also confessed about their role in training the insurgents inside Iraq. Part of that training was professional including anti-aircraft missiles. The US army earlier mentioned that the type of training and weapons was different and well organized this time. This now has been confirmed that such professional training needs a well organized states army behind it.

Anti aircraft missiles and other sophisticated weapons have been found this time.

The Iraqi authorities informed the Syrian government and will submit the Syrian solders and officers for trials.


THAT IS HUGE OR BIGGER!
