Neocons and U.N. Draw a Bead on Syria (Read More)
Once again, we must assume the Syrians are dunderheads so murderous and impulsive as to be unable to control themselves, going right ahead and killing Rafiq Hariri, irrespective of the consequences. In fact, if we are to believe the United Nations—a disgusting lickspittle for neocon interests on several different occasions—the pernicious conspiracy to murder Hariri runs right up the Syrian totem pole of power to none other than the family of Bashar Assad, the Syrian president. According to the Independent, the politically motivated UN “report says senior Syrian and Lebanese security officials were directly involved in the killing of Hariri in February and planned it over many weeks. The missing names are of Asef Shawkat, President Bashar Assad’s brother-in-law who is Syria’s intelligence chief, and his brother, Maher Assad.”


Rice: Syria Should Get Serious About Probe (Read More)
OTTAWA, Canada (AP) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Monday that Syria should drop its ``nonchalant attitude'' about a United Nations report implicating it in a political killing, but she indicated the United States may be willing to put off a drive for tough international sanctions.
Speaking to reporters en route to a brief diplomatic visit in Canada, Rice said Syria must take seriously last week's findings from U.N. investigator Detlev Mehlis into the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hirari.
The world ``must make very clear to the Syrians that this is a really serious matter and that their nonchalant attitude, their efforts to discredit the investigation ... are not the attitude of the international community,'' Rice said.


Bush administration maps plans for U.N. resolution pressuring Syria in Hariri probe [AP]
Adopting a fast-paced strategy, the Bush administration is gathering support for a U.N. Security Council resolution demanding Syria's cooperation in an investigation into the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. The target date for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and foreign ministers to agree on a resolution is next Monday in New York.
Rice says Syria should get serious about probe into Lebanese leader's killing. "Everybody thinks that certainly a resolution would be appropriate with respect to this report, at least in the initial discussions that we have had among our close allies," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said. The report, distributed last week by U.N. investigator Detlev Mehlis, a German prosecutor, concluded Hariri could not have been assassinated without the collusion of top Syrian intelligence officials. Twenty other people also died in the car bombing last February in Beirut. Syria has hotly disputed the findings as political motivated and stemming from U.S. displeasure with its opposition to the war in Iraq. Civil servants and students massed in the streets of Damascus on Monday to protest the report. U.S. ambassador John R. Bolton and other Security Council ambassadors are due to meet on Tuesday. Punitive economic measures have not been ruled out. Bolton said in New York, "We will certainly insist on Syrian cooperation. This is true-confessions time for the government of Syria. No more obstruction. No more half-measures." White House spokesman Scott McClellan called the report "very troubling" and said President Bush had directed Rice to arrange a Council meeting at the earliest possible date. "The Security Council needs to take it up at a high level," McClellan said. The Bush administration was quickly backed by Britain, its closest partner. Foreign Secretary Jack Straw accompanied Rice last weekend on a homecoming trip to Alabama and discussed strategy with her.
But Russia's U.N. Ambassador said, "My government is always very cautious with such sensitive issues as Syria-Lebanon." And China's ambassador said the U.N. report needed further study. Russia and China have the power to veto any resolution.


Cooming Soon-Syriana
Oil industry thriller debuts in December with George Clooney, Matt Damon, William Hurt, etc.
Novi "Mel Gibson konspirativac" ili samo predigra (npr. test za UN) za Final Oil Game?

Sirija je inace na putu naftovoda koji je vodio/vodi od Mosula u Iraku do Haife (Izrael), dakle izlazak na Sredozemlje (izbjegava se i Perzijski zaljev i Bospor!), jedini problem je sto Sirija i Izrael nisu bas u "najzdravijim" odnosima zadnjih....hmmm...godina? desetljeca?
Golanska visoravan je kljuc tih odnosa i prava strateska tocka oko koje ce se vrtiti 'pregovaranje' sa Sirijom.

p.s. na ovom mjestu bi mozda dosao [+] koji se otvara i zatvara po zelji, ali nisam profesionalac kao neki koji to znaju 'postavit' pa prekidam do slijedeceg nastavka...koji mozda uvuce i Bechtel (cudno, ha?) u pricu o Golanskoj visoravni

burninmadil Empire

...SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVburninmadIL...
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank,
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all,
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me, have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Pleased to meet you,
Hope you guessed my name,
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game...
