"The US ambassador to the UN on Monday slammed the alleged destabilizing role of Iran and Syria in Iraq and urged them to stop the flow of weapons and foreign fighters into their war-scarred neighbor."

After starting out by bashing Iran . . .

"The US envoy also expressed concern about the flow of arms and foreign fighters across the Iraqi-Syrian border, citing estimates that Syria is the entry point for '90 percent of all known foreign terrorists in Iraq.'

'Syria continues to allow foreign fighters to transit Syria en route to conducting attacks in Iraq, and we know that Al-Qaeda terrorist facilitators continue to operate inside Syria,' Khalilzad said.

'Iran and Syria must stop the flow of weapons and foreign fighters into Iraq, and their malign interference in Iraq,' he added."

I wonder why after five years of us being there, we still can't seal Iraq's borders? I wonder why he didn't mention that those known foreign terrorists Syria is let through their border are mainly from Saudi Arabia? How about getting the Saudis to stop exporting their domestic terrorist problem to Iraq?

Ah, what the hell, let's just level Damascus, that's easier and chaeper than going after Iran, from a cost/bennefit standpoint.
