The U.S. is secretly supporting Syria's Baathist regime, according to this FoxNews report. If true, this is a shameful period for America in its war on terrorism. Syria is not only a sworn enemy to America's best ally Israel, but is also responsible for political assassinations in Lebanon and equipping Islamic insurgents who murder our troops.
Shame on Bush, and shame on America.
After years of harsh talk and escalating rounds of sanctions against Syria for supporting terror and seeking weapons of mass destruction, the United States is quietly supporting a United Nations program to supply the Syrian regime with sophisticated surveillance equipment and computers to monitor its borders.
That surreptitious support emerged in the course of a FOX News investigation that began after a surprise Israeli air strike on September 6 destroyed a mysterious Syrian facility that many experts believe was a North Korean-style nuclear reactor.
The gap between the Bush Administration’s anti-Syrian rhetoric and reality emerges in the book-keeping of the $5.2 billion United Nations Development Program, the U.N.’s flagship development agency, which has come under heavy fire for its improper funneling of cash to the regime of North Korean dictator and nuclear proliferator Kim Jong Il.
This time the issue is UNDP’s ties — and those of the U.S. and the European Union — to the Baathist regime of Syrian President Bashir Assad, which has been sanctioned by the U.S. for its sponsorship of international terrorism, destabilization of Lebanon and its shipping of terrorists and weapons to kill U.S. soldiers in Iraq.

YES the USA needs to be consistent and whatever Administration occupies the Whitehouse has apply the pressure to make sure no Islamic state gets ANY help from ANY U.S. source.
Since 2004, after Saddam was toppled...to me Bush has gone backwards in so many ways. The last three years we have been more or less running in circles and no real clear cut victory against Islam can be scene.
