US/Syria: What's Behind Washington's War Of Words?
Radio Free Europe, Czech Republic - 4-16-03
Analysts say the U.S. rhetoric against Syria is unprecedented. Raymond
Tanter, a professor at the University of Michigan and an expert on rogue
regimes, told RFE/RL: "The president, the vice president, the secretary of
state, the secretary of defense, the national security adviser and the
chairman of the joint chiefs of staff have all issued threats and warnings
to Syria over the last week. This is unheard-of with respect to U.S.-Syrian
relations. Never before have those high-level officials made those kinds of
statements."

ELEPHANT EMAIL:

SUBJECT: Letter

(yawn)
Another left-wing propoganda hate site that beautifully
illustrates a point I've tried to make time and time again: Democrats have no
issues.
I guess the Democrat issue of Clinton's eight years
of
peace and prosperity doesn't count?
"Blame the Republicans for everything," is the party motto, because thinking
up a good platform to run a campaign on would require thinking.
I do blame Republicans & Democrats for this
corporate war. Obviously you are not familiar with this website. Thinking is required
to view this website.
Keep on spitting out those bold face lies,
Which lies? I can't keep up with all the
Bush administration lies
while us Republicans laugh it up in the White House, the Senate, and the
House of Representatives
I can't be a left wing Democrat -- I believe in
divided government.
(maybe that means nobody is listening to your message).
No, nobody counted my vote.
