| 'We'll sue US for giving arms to Israel' |
| 2008-02-15 |
| Syrians will sue the United States for providing Israel with weaponry that was used to kill Syrian citizens during the Second Lebanon War, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Mouallem threatened Thursday, a day after the US administration announced a new set of sanctions on the Assad regime. "We will punish the United States," Mouallem said during a joint press conference with his Iranian counterpart Manouchehr Mottaki. "There are Syrians who were sacrificed during the Israeli was against Lebanon, and they will file a law suit against America, Which provided Israel with the weapons." He also said that investigations are under way into who was behind the car bomb that killed Hizbullah terror chief Imad Mughniyeh in Damascus, adding that he expected the perpetrators to be found soon. "Syrian security forces are continuing investigations into this terrorist crime and we hope you will hear results soon," he said. "We as a state will show with full proof the party involved in this crime and who stands behind them." |

| #11 Importantly, this is one of the biggest lies of the Middle East, that the US spends vast amounts of money just so Israel can exist. They truly believe that without continuous massive support from the US, that Israel would collapse overnight. I talked with a Lebanese engineer years ago, and he assured me that over half the US defense budget goes to buy weapons for Israel. When I just laughed at his statement, he passionately defended it--because he had to. The very idea that Israelis are so much *better* than Arabs and Muslims is just intolerable to them. They just refuse to accept even the possibility. This may actually be the defining idea of most anti-Israeli feeling in the ME, and anti-US sentiment as well. They are almost in tears begging the US to stop giving Israel the means to exist. If the US would just stop, then Israel would disappear. And it is only because the Jews control the US that all that money flows to Israel. It is such a bizarre fantasy that it just makes you shake your head. |

| #4 Oh, and about those 'covert' ops supporting AQ in Iraq from Damascus? Not only can we sue back, we have a collection agency on your door step. And we can ask for volunteers to make that collection, but I don't think there's enough log tail to support them all. Make my day! |
