Syria and Iran Say Will Build 'Common Front'

By Parisa Hafezi

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran and Syria, both locked in rows with the United States, said on Wednesday they would form a common front to face challenges and threats.

While acknowledging they do not know who was to blame for Hariri's car bomb assassination, U.S. officials argued Syria's military presence and its political power-broking role were generally responsible for Lebanon's instability.

2. Syria is just following our lead
Hasn't Bush said something to the effect that "we're a stabilizing force and we'd leave if Iraq asks us to"
