Seven Reasons to invade Islamist Syria

Submitted by Corfu (India), Jan 19, 2007 at 12:28

1. Syria supports the Hezbollah terrorist organization that just initiated a terror war of aggression against Israel.

2. Syria supplied Hezbollah with weapons and logistical assistance in that war, and continues to do so in high-handed defiance of the UN resolutions demanding that Hezbollah disarm.

3. Syria supports Hezbollah in its covert war against Lebanon.

3. Syria is working to re-establish its own illegal hegemony over Lebanon via its own and Hezbollah's operatives.

4. Syria hosts the el-Qaeda TV station, az-Zawra'a, which broadcasts 24/7 anti-USA and anti-Israel terrorist programming.

5. Syria hosts approximately 63 terror training camps which house and train up to 70,000 terrorist wannabees...whose main purpose in life is to kill Israelis and kill Americans.

6. Syria has sent, and continues to send, terrorists in to Iraq to fuel the terror war against the USA and against the democraticly elected Iraqi government. These terrorists have killed thousands of our soldiers, and tens of thousands of Iraqis.

7. Syria has been in close diplomatic and logistical alliance with Iran, a country that declared war on us in November, 1979, and has recently renewed that declaration via acts of terrorism against the USA and its allies, and via threats of a new level of terror war -- nuclear attack.

In short, Syria is a clear and unrepentant enemy of the USA and Lebanon and Israel, and is an active partner with both Iran and el-Qaeda in their war against the USA.

These seven reasons are good enough to make a case against Syria. We can attack syria and go for a regime change. We all know that Syria is a base of Jehadi Terror in Middle East.
