#1 "We have been very clear to the Syrians about our unhappiness about Baathist cells operating from Syria. They have access to money, and they have access to smuggling routes," Abizaid said. The insurgency, he added, "is being supported in a very unhelpful way from cellular structures that are operating in Syria."

So send a message then. I'm not talking about verbal "we need your cooperation" crap. Find a target area where these insurgents are operating within Syrian territory and pulverize it with a carpet bomb run. "Sensitivity" has its limits, and it's time to make it clear that that point has long since been passed.

#2 A few sonic booms over Damascus in broad daylight might do wonders.

#3 High time to appy the Bush Doctrine: "if you harbor a terrorist, you are with the terrorists."

Inaction is costing US and Iraqi lives. Get it done now.

#4 I couldn't agree more CA! The War on Terror is a global War to be fought on several fronts, including militarily, politically and in some cases economically. Syria is in rapid pusuit of WMD and rumored to be experimenting with these WMD on the hapless residents of Darfur. They support Hezbollah and palestinian terror organizations and now are supporting the insurgency in Iraq. I would say that about rounds out the gambit of being an international sponsor of terrorism. They are obviously not with us so they must be against us.
