Is Syria Next?

I picked up this blurb from Debka, I know, Mosad controlled site, etc., etc.. It still has some good info.


"Bush signs Syria economic sanctions law Friday. Damascus penalized for failing to end support of anti-Israel terror groups or terminate military presence in Lebanon, developing WMD and missiles and not interdicting terrorists and weapons entering Iraq. President has discretion to waive penalties in national security interest"

Could this be the 2004 election war that Bush needs to stay in office? The retoric that has been going on, with regards to Syria, seems very familiar. I am concerned over this as far as what actions Israel will take. I do think Sharon might use this "Bad Guy" image we are promoting at the moment to push the U.S. into a pre-emptive strike. The more I look at the entire Mid East situation the less I understand.

I'd give it a 50/50. It would be hard to lean one way or another. Depends on if a split is occuring between U.S. and Israel right now or if it is conjectured.

my money's on conjecture

I doubt it. In fact, if Bush started a war with Syria, he would most certainly be voted out of office.

True. Unless some "Syrians" pick a fight with him. He's using war as a political vehicle- sad.

DeusEx - Thats what I am saying, if we are on the same track here, Israel has been getting some pretty hefty comments from the Bush administration which is apparent with the 200 million cut in aid. It would be easy for Sharon to stage an incident wich would force a reaction from the US. Israel is not above attacking US assests to provoke a reaction that would be to their advantage, I recall the USS Liberty as one example. Bush would end up getting manouvered into a position that would be advantageous for Isreal and if Bush could whip up public opinion could take advantage of the situation who knows what will happen in 2004. Aside from all that, I belive that there is an agenda for the mid east and Syria and Iran are more than likely listed for a "Leadership Change". Iraq could just be the begining.

Check out my older post, it points that yes, Syria maybe next.

There has been a ratchetting up of tension between Isael and Syria.There could be action in the Lebenon or Golan Heights soon.

I don't think Bush wants this.Obviously the USA could fight and win a war against Syria but now is not an ideal time.

War would not be an election winner.Bush is trying to put a lot of distance between Iraq and the election.Starting another would not gain the support he has already lost in the USA and it would fracture the support he still has from moderate conservatives who so far continue to support him because they have been convinced,however tenuously,of the link to a direct threat to the USA.

So,my feeling is that Israel provoking a war with Syria and forcing the USA to take a side during this coming year would be the nightmare scenario of the Bush Administration. Bush needs a quiet year.One that allows him to be seen to focus on domestic issues.

His re-election appears inevitable unless Hillary Clinton makes a late run then all bets are off but as this seems unlikely Bush will want to wait until next year then he will have nothing to lose.

Bush's choice of running mate will be very indicative of what he hopes to do after re-election on this issue.Cheney or Rumsfeld would mean more of the same.Powell would not run as VP unless there was some kind of undertaking by Bush to curb is aggressive policy and take a more diplomatic route.

I don't want to take this thread off topic but that is an interesting point.What names are in the hat as Bush's running mate?

Considering the capture of Saddam, I would have thought that would be enough to keep him in office.

Consideing the amount of US forces in Iraq, he would be stretching his army far too much. Add the loss of life to the armed forces in Iraq, another war in Syria I dont think would go down well with the American public or the world as a whole.

Caspian Sea being the largest untapped source for oil in the world...hrmmm...looks like Iran is going to be next on the list of American terrorists. Another homeland attack is due...another claim that a terrorist nation is against us....Iran..perfect port to the Persian Gulf. Now...if the tide goes the other way....Syria is going to be the terrorist nation...meaning the pipeline straight through to Irael will win. Think about it follks...I haven't been wrong so far....although I leave two windows open...let's see who gets to the oil first...eh?

Syria just became sanctioned and with the capture os SH I imagine they will be more than willing to cooperate. If not though, I can see us going in there to attack the government in Demascus.

Syria and North Korea have no natural resources. They won't be invaded unless they start something and we won't occupy it if they do just kick their asses and leave. Iran has some oil and a # load of natural gas they will be hit.

look harder.
i spotted this around 2 weeks ago, and am now..waiting.
providing you find some way of proving the shadow government is making a big mistakes, they will keep on grinding their way thru the middle east untill russia or china steps in the way...
you are likely to see a little european country go in protest of the americans, which would be comical, untill the rest of the little countries fall into play(europe)..hopefully this occurs before russia makes it's move.
it's a warzone, an epidemic, soon...it will reach your shores and our borders.

i deffinately think syria is next they wont stop until theyhave the whol middle east and they say saddam is greedy yeah right. the middle east is like a goldmine

Yes!

I'd say either Syria or North Korea is next. Notice what's happening... The US is going after countries that are threats to the world. Once the Iraqi government is set up in the middle of next year, they'll be "part of the group", like other allies. Once all countries are in the group. The OA has taken over. The OA controls the UN.

Ive noticed on a couple of web sites that there are rumors that US troops are moving around in Syria, apparently at the area where Syria, Iraq and Turkey border close together. I had read before that there were suspicions that if Sadam gad WMD's that he moved them to Syria. If WMD's are found within Syrias borders, planted or otherwise placed there, I feel that Bush would use this as another reason for a "Regieme Change" in Syria, like I said before, I foresee more war in the Mid East brought to you by Bush Inc.!

Didn't President Bush essentially state that this is what he was going to do when he declared war on terrorism?
If he does, he will have to establish in the minds of the US public and the World on a whole that Syria is a terrorist state. Not hard, but will have far reaching importance (i.e. who's next....)

As an outsider to the American process, a world leader who actually does what he sets out to do is a rare thing.

I'd say the odds are good that it's going to happen.

A report by the U.S. Institute for Peace, which has close ties with Congress, says the U.S. may attack Iran and Syria next, in what they call "Phase 3 on the War on Terror." They think this will be even harder than going into Afghanistan and Iraq, because both populations are more committed to their governments. Israeli intelligence insists that Iran has nuclear weapons�but no one in Europe believes them.

I suspect Syria will be dealt with at some point. Their ties to terrorism,the murdering of their own people. Not a nice place to visit. But I don't think they are going to butt heads with US like Saddam did.
Their biggest problem will be if Saddam admits to shipping his chem/bio weapons to Syria. Then Syria will have problems.
