I thought we were safer. Attack at US Embassy in Syria

[Frazzled Educator]

DAMASCUS, Syria - Armed Islamic militants attempted to storm the U.S. Embassy in a brazen attack Tuesday, the government said. Four people were killed, including three of the assailants. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but an al-Qaida offshoot group was suspected, Syria's ambassador to the United States said.

No Americans were hurt in the attack, in which the militants used automatic rifles, hand grenades and at least one van rigged with explosives.

The al-Qaida offshoot group, called Jund al-Sham, has been blamed for several attacks in Syria in recent years, the Syrian ambassador, Imad Moustapha, said in comments to CNN.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice praised Syrian security agents for repelling the attack, but added it was too early to know who may have been behind it.

1. Must be vigilant. Must be vigilant. They want to kill you and your

family. See? I warned you. I warned you, and see what happened? Of course, my special ops had nothing to do with it. Must be vigilant. Must be vigilant.

9. Actually it was on US soil

if it was on embassy property even if it was in Syria. They will have to rephrase their no attack on US soil spin.

4. PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MOCK-U-DRAMA BEHIND THE CURTAIN!

As others have been pointing out all morning, the Bush Administration is rife with coincidences.

5. Without knowing any details

My suspicion is that it's a staged incident designed to give the U.S. a justification to attack Syria

7. We're as vulnerable as ever.

The ironic thing is that Syria stopped the attack. Syria, who dubya has screamed axis of evil about for the last 5 years. Dubya looks like a damn fool, one more time.
