Iraq talking points

Does anyone really believe that Syria is the reason Iraq is such a mess? If you do please comment below. Rumsfeld, after a speech, blasted Damascus on aiding the Iraqi resistance, he then threatened them. It would take one brain washed American to believe that if Syria just vanished, Iraq would be 'flowers and candy'.

"The United States and the world obviously has to create a better clarity in the minds of leaders of Syria that what they are doing is harmful ultimately to themselves," Rumsfeld said after a speech in Beverly Hills at which he was twice heckled.

Heckled! :)

He said Syria was also "undoubtedly financing" some of the Iraqi insurgency.

"(Syria is) going to have to live in that neighbourhood and Iraq doesn't like what Syria's doing,"
...
"Iraq is going to be in that neighbourhood for a very long time. It's a bigger country and a richer country and will be a more powerful country," he said. "(In my view) the Syrians are not behaving in a wise manner at the present time."
...
"other countries and the United States are simply going to have to continue to try and put pressure on them so that they understand the disadvantages that accrue to them by their behaviour."

So some people in Syria are providing 'aid and comfort' to the resistance. That is not surprising, we are a nation of different culture who attacked an Islamic or Arab nation. Of course some are going to aid the resistance. People who aid the insurgency also live in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, U.A.E., Kuwait, Bahrain, Pakistan, Qatar, et cetera. But our leaders never mention them, why?
