Such parades remind me of KKK rallies.

Here's more acts of War: Does Assad think he can piss off Bush forever? Syria's Not-So-Hidden Hand in Lebanon Struck by IDF 23:17 Jul 18, '06 / 22 Tammuz 5766 by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz Even as IAF planes on Tuesday destroyed four trucks that entered Lebanon from Syria, apparently carrying military supplies for the Hizbullah, the IDF denies Syria is a target. IDF Chief of Operations Major-General Gadi Eizenkot told reporters on Tuesday that Israeli planes destroyed, and are continuing to target, trucks coming into Lebanon from Syria smuggling ammunition, weapons or supplies for the Hizbullah. Maj.-Gen. Eizenkot reiterated that the fatal projectile fired by Hizbullah terrorists at Haifa on Sunday, which killed eight railway employees, was a 220mm rocket originating in Syria. Hizbullah says the weapons launched at Haifa were Iranian-made Raad missiles. In their comments in recent days, United States President George Bush and United Kingdom Prime Minister Tony Blair both laid the blame for the current violence in Lebanon and Israel on "extremist elements" backed by Syria and Iran - with Bush naming Hizbullah specifically. Despite the Syrian supply lines to the Hizbullah, however, Maj.-Gen. Eizenkot emphasized that all strikes on the trucks took place on Lebanese soil. He further insisted that neither the Syrians nor the national Lebanese military is a target in IDF attacks. In earlier phases of the ongoing war with Lebanon, referred to by some media outlets as the "Re-Engagement War", Israeli planes did strike Lebanese army radar positions that were used in a deadly attack on an Israeli gunship stationed off the coast of Lebanon. Israeli planes also previously hit a border crossing connecting Lebanon to Syria; however, both Israeli and Syrian spokespersons vehemently denied that any targets in Syria were hit. Iranian Foreign Minister Manushehr Mottaki visited Syria on Monday, carrying what officials in Iran said was a message for the Syrian dictator, Bashar Al-Assad, committing Iran to come to the aid of Syria in the event it would be the target of an attack. Iran and Syria also signed a memorandum of understanding accelerating development of 19 joint infrastructure and development projects. According to Syria's new United Nations ambassador, Dr. Jafar Ja'afari, "We are not mercenaries, we will not be drawn into this war." He made the comments in an interview with reporters in New York this past Friday. In reaction to the new tactic of the Israeli air force targeting trucks used in smuggling weapons, the Lebanese government has suggested that truck drivers in the country drive without the standard canvas covering on their truck beds. This would allow Israeli pilots to differentiate between innocent cargo and deliveries of Syrian missiles, according to Lebanese officials. On Monday, Syrian officials said more than 100,000 people had crossed from Lebanon into Syria in search of an escape from the fighting.
