Syria saves U.S. Embassy in Damascus from Islamic terrorists and bush
Edited on Tue Sep-19-06 10:28 PM by Botany
.... calls em out in front of the U.N.?


Early today I posted that bush calling Syria in front of the U.N. & on a world wide t.v. feed
was not the most diplomatic thing he could have done and a DUer (Verse 18) posted about
the Syrians who saved our embassy just about a week ago.

bush clearly is either clueless or wants to stir up more wars and problems in the middle east.
In a very complex world we have a simple man trying to lead our country ..... We have to take
Congress back this November.

<US Embassy Attacked by Islamic Militants in Syria

Islamic armed group attempted to storm the U.S. Embassy on Tuesday using automatic rifles and explosives, just one day after the US marked the fifth anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks.

Three were killed in a shootout with Syrian guards. A fourth was wounded, one of over a dozen people injured during the assault. Syrian security forces killed three of the attackers.

The United States has expressed gratitude to Syria after its security forces intervened against militants trying to blow up the US embassy in Damascus.

Syria's Interior Minister Bassam Abdel Majid said it was clearly a terrorist attack targeting the American embassy. The identity of the group involved is still unclear.>

1. I had forgotten that incident - surprised the M$M did not make
more of it.
