The Push Against Syria

Syria is accusing the U.S. of performing conducting raids over its borders, killing several Syrians, including two border guards.

Supposedly, we are doing this to get at Iraqi insurgents who flee to or based in Syria. However, Syria claims it is trying very hard to stop people from using Syria as a staging ground for the war in Iraq.

If I were conspiracy-minded, I would wonder if maybe the coalition is shooting at them in order to weaken their ability to police their borders. Nothing like demanding that they stop all terrorist infiltration and then making certain that they can't do so to make a good excuse for a war...

That is all.
