Syria rejects Annapolis invitation |
2007-11-07 |
Syria has rejected the latest appeals from Israel to attend the US-sponsored Annapolis peace conference and will only go if the return of the Golan Heights is on the agenda, the country's deputy leader said in London on Tuesday. Deputy Prime Minister Abdullah Dardari said Syria will not budge in its insistence that its participation in the conference in Annapolis, Maryland, hinges on the opportunity to discuss the Golan Heights, a strategic plateau Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 Six Day War and later annexed. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said on Sunday they wanted Syria to participate in the conference, but only on condition they set aside Syrian-Israeli issues. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Tuesday urged Syria to attend, saying the meeting could be a launching pad for new talks between the two foes. |

#5 It's the geopolitic version of the standard Paleo game: PIJ and PLFP declare a hudna, then the nxt day Al Aksa Martyrs tries to boom a checkpoint. Plausible deniability. |

#4 Well stated 'G'! One day Assad's terrorist HQ of Damascus will be a pile of rubble. Assad & his cut-throats will only have themselves to blame -- and of course their fanatical jihadist pals in Tehran.
