U.S. encourages regime change in Syria
WASHINGTON -- The United States has begun supporting Syrian dissidents in their drive to topple the regime of President Bashar Assad.The Bush administration has provided support to Syrian dissidents to organize into a credible pro-democracy opposition group. Officials said the dissidents have been encouraged to form an umbrella group similar to that established by Iraqi opposition activists before the U.S. war against Baghdad in 2003.

"We're working with a range of dissidents," an official said. "We're keeping all options open."

The State Department has been selected to help organize the pro-democracy Syrian opposition, currently based on Syrians who live in the United States. Dissidents have met several times for strategy sessions with State Department and White House officials.

4. Could the moderator be so kind to explain why this was moved from LBN?
Technically it seemed to belong there. I just want to understand the criteria so that next time I can post directly to GD.

Thanks.

5. For those still interested in the next war, this is the conference where
they will probably organize regime-change in Syria and Iran:

The Intelligence Summit 2006, February 17-20 in Arlington, VA.

As "former U.S. Justice Department prosecutor and intelligence expert John Loftus" explained in December: "One of the intelligence agencies, which shall remain nameless, asked me to hold a conference of dissident groups in Iran. We are holding that conference and getting ready for regime-change."

Farid Ghadry, the "Syrian Chalabi", is scheduled to take part in that conference:

6. Is somebody working with the dissidents over here to get a regime change
for the US? Now how do you think the American people would feel about that...especially the ones supporting our screwing with other countries and their regimes?
