Perhaps. WTF is this administration thinking? How many places can we overthrow at once?
Or is it the administration? Who's running the show? Maybe there's a good reason why Powell keeps changing his stories, and why the stories are often different coming out of the different agencies.
From the Dreyfuss Report:
What's happening in Syria has all the hallmarks of a classic, 1950s-era, Cold War-style CIA coup d'etat scheme.
First, on March 7 a gaggle of demonstrators—no more than 20 to 30, according to The New York Times on March 8—was squelched by Syrian police, who arrested not only the demonstrators but swooped up a "junior diplomat from the American Embassy," says the Times. "The United States government protested the detention of the American diplomat to the Syrian government, a spokesman for the embassy told The Associated Press." Now the question is: what was a "junior diplomat" from the United States doing there in the first place. Could he have been from the CIA? (Syria is wondering the same thing.)
Second, the Bush administration is going to announce sanctions against Syria this week, thanks to a law passed by Congress demanding them.
...And finally, on March 14 The New York Times gave prominent coverage to Kurdish riots in northeastern Syria, which spread to Damascus. Jalal Talabani, the longtime asset of U.S. and Israeli intelligence, now a leading force in Iraq's new make-believe government, has close ties to Syrian Kurds, and it strains credulity to think that the Kurdish unrest in Syria is spontaneous.
...So here we are in the 21st century, and it looks like the CIA is still at it, overthrowing governments it doesn't like. I'd call for a congressional inquiry, but Congress is in this up to its collective, Gucci-tied neck.

Hello. I don't think the CIA was ever not at it.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
