2. Erik Prince funds a variety of rightwing and religious causes ....
US forces based in western Iraq denied that they were involved in the incident, suggesting that it may have been carried out by a special unit ouside the regular US command structure.

....
The attack threatens to overshadow what was a long-planned visit to London by Walid Muallem, the Syrian Foreign Minister, aimed at repairing the two countries’ rocky relationship under the leadership of Tony Blair.

3. "big embarassment for Syria"
More smack talk to get Syria to over react or create the narrative for a false flag op in Iraq to justify more occupation then blame it on Syria?

4. More like a political move...
create a crisis to drum up terrorist fears that seem to invariably help GOP candidates...

5. Terrorist fears are usually created when something
of ours blows up. Not when we go into other countries and kill people.

6. Their correspondant is reporting from Jerusalem?
Why didn't they just call someone in northern Turkey, it'd be about the same distance to the actual story. Doesn't Fox have anyone in Syria or Iraq?

Also, I can't help but watch this and think 'needs more flair'.
