Oooh. Well, I guess someone at the Pentagram must have penetrated the bubble around Preznit Cowardly Asshat and gotten word in there that the invasion of Iran, while most satisfying in terms of being a "War Preznit" probably made less sense than speaking to a group of stoned ANSWER protesters. So now Beloved Leader is "warning" Syria...ooooh, bet they're trembling.
President Bush on Wednesday called on Syria's government to be a "good neighbor" in the Middle East, warning Damascus not to interfere in Lebanon, incite Palestinian militants or allow insurgents to cross into Iraq.
"We're making good progress toward peace in the Holy Land, but one of the areas of concern is that foreign countries such as Syria might try to disrupt the peace process by encouraging terrorist activities," Bush said.
...
He also demanded that Damascus pay closer attention to its border with Iraq, where U.S. troops have battled an insurgency since the 2003 invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.
"We expect Syria to do everything in her power to shut down the transshipment of suiciders and killers into Iraq," Bush told reporters at the White House. "We expect Syria to be a good neighbor to Iraq."
Well, that's fucking telling them. What's next? Mystery bombers and 'suiciders' (what's up with that word anyhow?) coming over here to raise the Terra level from bert to ernie (or is it the other way, I forget.)
So glad that the 1600 Crew has a plan for the destruction of an American City in the wake of an attack or disaster. Oh, wait. Never mind.

It may seem a minor quibble in the scheme of things but President WTF's reference to the middle east as "the Holy Land" bothers me.
In the first place, is it really more holy than, say, New Orleans?
Also, I suspect the many residents of the area might also find the War President's characteristically unthinking use of the term disquieting--it's crusade talk.
