Rice: Syria Frustrating Will of Iraqis by Not Closing Borders to Terrorists


SHANNON, Ireland (AP) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice sharply criticized Syria on Monday for what she called unwillingness to close its borders to terrorists she said are to blame for some of the violence in Iraq.

"Their unwillingness to deal with the crossings of their border into Iraq is frustrating the will of the Iraqi people," and leading to the deaths of innocent Iraqis, Rice said en route home from a surprise trip to see Iraq's new leaders.

She said the United States will try to enlist Syria's Arab neighbors to pressure Syria to clamp down.

"We're going to go back and look again at what the neighbors can do to get the Syrians to stop support for these foreign terrorists who we believe are gathering on Syrian territory and coming across," Rice told reporters traveling with her.

Just replace Iran with Syria. It's all the same to Gen. CookooBananas and his crew of thugs.

6. Aren't we occupying Iraq?
And doesn't Syria share a border with Iraq? So couldn't we, oh I don't know, close the border ourselves?

If Kindasleezy wants the borders closed, she should have a chat with Rumfilled.

Is she simply the worst liar EVER?

7. Months and months ago, I posted a story to the WMW about how
the US was already engaged near the Syria border fighting whoever it was they were fighting and the shelling was going into SYRIA and screwing up the Syrian border control outposts. Not only that, our fire was going over the border and killing civilians in the border areas.

I'd like to take a finger and stick it up her ass right about now.

11. So she's behind this
Go figure. They're behind all this nonsense. You know they want to attack either Syria or Iran.

12. Hmmm, Condi, how about reserving some of that criticism
for the SecDef for not providing adequate forces to secure the borders?

Why would we have trusted Syria to watch the borders to begin with?
