"The world press has failed to get this story, although it has been staring them in the face for months. Human rights activists in Syria have documented for a long time how Syria is arresting Islamists, cracking down on Syrians who go to Iraq to fight by arresting their family members and jailing the fighters when they return from Iraq. Read Razan Zeitouneh's story about Syria's 'Preemptive War' against Islamists here. The Syrian secret police have been terrorizing would be terrorists in Syria for many months now. The US has cut off all intelligence sharing with Syria despite repeated Syrian attempts to cooperate on this most important issue. Rumsfeld refused a Syria delegation of top border officials permission to meet with their Iraq and American counterparts just two months ago."

It would seem Syria wants to cooperate with the U.S., but the Bush administration just won't let them. Bush just wants to topple the Syrian regime for the heck of it, and to top that inanity, there's no known replacement regime that would be better than what's there now. Another deja vu coming with regards to lack of planning; the Bush regime just wants to go in there, abusing our already overworked troops in the process, and just make another mess.

Will somebody please bring down this reckless administration before it's too late?
