Liberation?
Reader comment on: Reckoning With Syria

Submitted by william Alexander, Sep 19, 2007 06:15

So you are going to liberate Syria just like you liberated Iraq with it's 700,000 civilian dead as a result. Sounds like more Republican PR. Are we going to have a VP secret meeting with the big oil companies to carve up Syrian oil? Halburton to get the contract? Blackwater to handle security? Big Republican donors to get the loot?. And then there is Iran with it's legal right under the non proliferation treaty to enrich Uranium. I wonder if both countries have the ICBMs which they can launch in 45 minutes or is that lie to obvious to use again.
