Have you guys figured out the Syria setup yet???

[DianeG5385]

Notice that in the last week there was a huge bombing in Lebanon that ended in the assassination of a popular former prime minister after a very lengthy period of quiet, it is laid at the footstpes of the Syrians. A week later, there is a suicide bombing in Israel and rather than blame the usual suspects, they blame Syria. May I say, only Bush could be this stupid. We all know this is a setup to take down Syria, get them out of Lebanon so that the US and Israel can establish it as their next beachhead. We are being played. They are mis-identifying the true culprits to suit their political purpose, which is to take down Syria, without having to deal with that silly diplomacy stuff...Is this the next war?.

1. well, of course....

look at all the stuff that's been percolating lately concerning Syria.
Soon, we'll have the equivalent of the burning of the Reichstag....or maybe the assassination of the former Lebanese prime minister will serve as such.

2. he's not stupid. It's a pretext

They know exactly what they are doing.

3. Here's one man's credible theory:

"Why isn't Bush looking for a way out of the greatest strategic blunder in American history? Why, instead, is Bush and his government doing all they can to spread the conflict into Syria and Iran?
"The neo-conservatives goal is the same as Osama bin Laden's to spread instability in the Middle East. The neocons seek to foment instability in order to justify more US invasions in an insane quest to remake the Middle East in the American image. Bin Laden seeks instability in order to topple the secular rulers and recreate Islamic rule. Bin Laden does not want US troops out. He wants to suck America in deeper in order to create revolutionary insurgency throughout the Middle East.
"The Bush administration is moronic enough to oblige bin Laden."

The Bush administration is moronic enough to oblige bin Laden. In a recent 24-hour period the Bush administration made the following mistakes:

The Bush administration blamed Syria for the recent assassination of a former Lebanese prime minister, recalled the US ambassador to Syria, and demanded that Syria withdraw its troops from Lebanon. In public statements, administration officials have accused Iran of being close to producing nuclear weapons despite all evidence to the contrary. VP Cheney suggested that Israel bomb Iran’s nuclear installations, and President Bush said Israel had the right to preemptive attack and that the US would support Israel.

There is no evidence that Syria is responsible for the assassination. The International Atomic Energy Agency conducts regular inspections of Iran’s nuclear facilities and reports that there are no weapons violations. France, Germany and Russia have reached the same conclusion. Yet, once again the US misrepresents the facts in order to deceive the American people and create a climate for expanding Bush’s war in the Middle East.
