#4  It could well be that the terrorists in Syria are not A-Q. Just like the Shoho, Ryujo, Junyo, and Hiyo had nothing to do the Pearl Harbor strike. That doesn't mean they weren't targets.

#2  Of course the Syrians - great humanitarians that they are - have no connection with the terrorists trying to destroy America and the West and take over Iraq.

Nothing to see here, move along....
