Heh. :D

[Deja Q]

1. Syria? The country neocons seem to not like these days?

:crazy:

Why'd we like them enough in 2003 to make them a lucrative deal?

[K-W]

2. We also send people there to be interrogated

because they have institutional torture.

I dont think we are actually going after Syria, I think we just wanted them to pull out of lebenon and stop supporting terrorist groups. I think Iran is where they want the next war, Syria is just getting threatned.

3. We're not involved in the deal.

Ponder the implications.
