U.S. and British officials turned up the diplomatic heat Monday on Syria,
with the White House continuing to accuse Iraq's neighbor of developing
chemical weapons and warning it not to harbor members of Saddam's regime.
Powell called on Syrian leaders to "review their actions and their behavior,
not only with respect to who gets haven in Syria and weapons of mass
destruction, but especially the support of terrorist activity." (Full story)
Calling Syria a "state that sponsors terrorism," White House press secretary
Ari Fleischer quoted from a 2002 CIA report that Syria "already held nerve
gas ... but is trying develop more toxic and persistent nerve agents."
"There are acceptable standards of behavior that the world and certainly the
free Iraqi people hope will be followed by its neighbors, including Syria,"
Fleischer said, "and part of that is not to harbor Iraqi leaders."
"
No UN mandate, but "baah! We no need no steenkin' UN mandate!" anymore.
Go to it 'Merica! There be terr'sts in dem dar hills!
