Syria And US Rely On Same Excuse For Continued Occupations!

[DistressedAmerican]

Found it interesting that the Syrians just claim to be "maintaining security" by their continued occupation of Lebanon. Sounds familiar!

I guess they will be adopting the "doctrine of preemption" next. And these delusional Repug think we are setting a good example for the people of the Mideast.

Here's the example we set:
More WMD than most of the world combined.
Unprovoked unilateral war on sovereign nations.
Ongoing abuse of detainees and indiscriminate attacks on Iraqi civilians.
Ongoing occupation of a foreign nation under the excuse of "maintaining security"
AND
Lies, lies, lies!

Thank you George Bush for being a shining example of belligerence, arrogance and militarism!

In other top diplomatic talks, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State William Burns met Wednesday with Lebanese Foreign Minister Mahmoud Hammoud, calling for the implementation of a U.N. resolution passed last October that calls for the immediate withdrawal of the 13,000 Syrian troops that al-Shar'a says are stationed in Lebanon.

The troops' objective, according to Syria and the pro-Syrian Lebanese government, is to help maintain security.
