Turkey tells Syria to stop letting hard boyz into Iraq
2005-07-24
Turkey on Friday warned Syria it would face mounting international pressure unless it took steps to enact ”more serious” measures to prevent foreign militants from entering Iraq, a top Turkish diplomat said.

The message was conveyed to Syria’s Deputy Foreign Minister Walid Muallem, who met Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul here as part of diplomatic efforts by Damascus to convince the international community that it is working in earnest to prevent the infiltrations.

“We told him (Muallem) that they should do their best and that otherwise they would be in trouble since they have no credibility in the West,” the diplomat told AFP.

“Turkey also expects Syria to take more serious measures,” he added.

#3  Perhaps the warning to Syria would be more effective if it was delivered with either GPS or laser guidance.

#1  You tell 'em, Turkey! Ima sure that the Syrians are quaking in their boots now, especially since that have not had any serious consequences for their actions to date.

If one gives Syria Serious and Stern Warnings™, then there better be a followup. And that means a stronger message then the head of a racehorse in the President of Syria's bed.....
