Christian Science Monitor: With the administration dropping its opposition, stiff new sanctions against Iraq's neighbor Syria are likely to win House approval this week and a Senate nod after that. Called the Syria Accountability Act, the legislation would impose new sanctions against a country that has long been on the US list of state sponsors of terrorism - but which has also aided the US in efforts against Al Qaeda.
Give up, world. You cannot possibly figure which way the wind will blow from the inflated idiots now at the wheel. Keeps you on your toes and dancin', does it not?
"Sanctions." Here we go again.
If ever an "accountability act" were needed anywhere, we haven't far to look.
The triad of WMD-seeking states that President Bush first targeted in his January 2002 State of the Union address no longer includes Iraq. But the club otherwise made up of North Korea and Iran has grown to include Syria, Libya, and Cuba, in the administration's eyes, as it seeks to keep the nation and the world focused on the dual threats of weapons proliferation and state-sponsored terrorism.
....anywhere but here. Look! Over there! Siegfried and Roy did it better, George. And look what happened to Roy.
Some experts see the new club members as minor threats compared to the original three - one former US official calls them "the ladies' auxiliary of the axis of evil."
Good one.
Let's not wait 'til '04.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
