Syrians Angry At Arab Nations For Allowing Bush Criticism of Syria


Oh, boo hoo hoo...Syria! What a bunch of little girls in Damascus! The Syrians are all pissed off that Arab nations allowed President Bush to use the spotlight in their countries to criticize the Syrians. Well, let's see...the Syrians have:

1. Assassinated over a dozen political leaders in Lebanon
2. Had an illegal nuclear weapons site under construction before it was levelled by the Israelis
3. Have stalemated Lebanon's election of a President for over three months
4. Sponsored Hezbollah in Lebanon
5. Given refuge to the Grand Poobah of Hamas

I could go on but that all seems like enough for Bush to bitch about and it's all true so what's the deal, Assad? Truth hurts? You're a nothing country with nothing to offer the world so it would be best if you just sat down and shut your traps.

Here's the full story.


Damascus slams Arab leaders for allowing Bush's 'criticism of Syria'

A newspaper affiliated with the Syrian government on Monday slammed Arab regimes who tolerated U.S. President George W Bush's "criticism of Syria" in their own lands and what they branded "the indirect war" that Bush is drumming up. Syrian analysts said Bush used the Arab countries' podiums during his multi-nation tour in the region to isolate Syria and orchestrate a war scenario against Iran.

The newspaper added that Bush's plan for the Middle East has "clearly no intentions to implement peace." After visiting the Palestinian territories and Israel for the first time since he took office, Bush embarked upon a tour of Gulf States that so far has taken him to Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and finally Saudi Arabia on Monday.

During his talks, Bush used strong language to urge Arab states to unite against Iran and its nuclear ambitions, labeling the non-Arab Muslim country "a security threat" to the Middle East and the world. He also urged his allies to support his recent efforts in the Middle East peace process and to huddle around President Mahmoud Abbas during his talks with Israel. Bush's open statements against Iran however had sparked regional concern. According to observers, none of the Arab countries, including US top friend Saudi Arabia, are keen on a war against Iran.
