'US and Arab officials plotting against Syria'
2004-12-27
I certainly hope so.
DAMASCUS — The mouthpiece of Syria's ruling Baath party yesterday charged that Arab and US officials were plotting together to accuse Damascus of stirring unrest in Iraq. "There is a campaign of practical jokes against Syria. Threatening and coordinated statements from certain American and Arab officials in the region show the influence of the Israeli media," said Al Baath editorialist Elias Murad.

#10  There is a campaign of practical jokes against Syria

Which is quite true, except for the niggling little fact that nobody's joking. Whatever use Syria ever served was outlived a very long time ago.

And the downside of this would be....?

FWIW, I don't think "plotting" is the right word, but why nit-pick. :-D

#6  He,he #5.

that Arab and US officials were plotting together
Assad, for all his faults, is not as evil (only 9 out of 10) as the guys pulling his strings, who are hold-overs from his dad's circle of "friends" and who might have their own Prince of Darkness (12 out of 10) waiting for junior to be knocked off. We should be careful what we wish for...
