Syria Says U$ Helps Al Qaeda in Iraq |
I think the only way to stop Al Qaeda's infiltration of Iraqi is if Syria
and Iran sent in more Freedom Fighters to help stop the U$ occupation. Back
when Saddam was in power, there was no Al Qaeda in Iraq, only in Bu$h's
depraved mind were the two linked...
Syria Blames U.S. 'Terrorism' in Iraq
The Associated Press
BEIRUT, Lebanon Nov. 5 — The Syrian foreign ministry called on the United
States to pull its troops out of Iraq, saying their presence has led to
chaos and terrorism, according to remarks published Wednesday.
There was no terrorism problem in Iraq when the United States entered the
country, a spokeswoman for Syria's foreign ministry said in an interview
with the London-based Saudi newspaper Asharq al-Awsat.
"Now, there is the problem of terrorism and of al-Qaida," Bushra Kanafani
said in published remarks.
In Washington, State Department deputy spokesman Adam Ereli downplayed
Kanafani's comments. "The analysis is faulty, to say the least," Ereli
said.
Leaders of al-Qaida, accused in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United
States, have called on Muslim militants to strike Americans in Iraq. U.S.
officials, however, say there is no firm evidence the terror network is
organizing guerrillas in Iraq.
The United States has repeatedly accused Syria, long on the U.S. State
Department list of countries sponsoring terrorism and an opponent of the
U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, of not doing enough to ensure Muslim militants
do not slip across its border into Iraq. Syrian officials say the long,
porous border makes it hard to stop infiltrators.
"The problem here is not Syria, but America," Kanafani was quoted as
telling Asharq al-Awsat.
Kanafani said the United States can help restore order if it accepts a
timetable for withdrawing its troops from Iraq and allows a greater
peacekeeping role for the United Nations.
Syrian President Bashar Assad has also blamed the U.S.-led occupation for
instability in Iraq.
"The world has discovered that the war of 'liberation' of Iraq has
liberated the Iraqi citizen of the state, the institutions, sovereignty,
dignity, food, water and electricity," Assad said in a speech at the
Organization of the Islamic Conference summit in Malaysia last month.
"The Iraqi citizen has become 'liberated' from the gift of life, and
everyone, without exception, has discovered that the excuses which led to
war lacked credibility," Assad said, referring to the U.S.-led coalition's
failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
In addition to Iraq, Syrian-U.S. ties have been strained over Syrian
support for anti-Israel groups based in Damascus and for the Lebanese
Hezbollah group. Washington calls those groups terrorist organizations.
Kanafani told Asharq al-Awsat she was not optimistic about an early
improvement in U.S.-Syrian ties.
