Syrian troops 'fired on by US forces'


SYRIA said today its border troops had been fired on by US and Iraqi forces and accused Washington, London and Baghdad of lack of cooperation in preventing insurgents infiltrating into Iraq.

It was the first time Syria, which has a 600km desert border with Iraq, had reported cases of US troops firing on its forces.
The Foreign Ministry told heads of diplomatic missions in Damascus in a letter obtained by Reuters that Syrian border troops had been subject to attacks "not only by infiltrators and smugglers but by the Iraqi and American forces".

"The border clashes amounted to about 100 armed clashes, some of which were carried out by American soldiers who opened fire arbitrarily at those present behind the dirt rampart due to loss of self control," said the ministry.

Some Democrats in Congress need to get to the bottom of this. Why are we firing on SYRIANS!

2. Break out the flags and bodybags. We're spreadin' deemocracy!

How about a chorus of "God, bless America" to motivate the cannon fodder
and keep the "moderate" Democrats voting the right way for the slaughter.
