Syria says U.S. asked for help with Iraq
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Secretary of State Colin Powell has asked Syria's president to help in stabilizing Iraq, Syria's official news agency said Thursday.
The request came in a letter from Powell to President Bashar Assad, congratulating him on Syria's Independence Day, which falls on April 17.

The letter from Powell — and a separate congratulatory letter from President Bush — were delivered by U.S. Ambassador Margaret Scobey during a meeting with Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk al-Sharaa.

Powell's message "explains the dangers of the developments in Iraq" and urges Syria "to give any possible help that could contribute to easing the situation there in a way that serves the country's unity and preserves its security and stability," SANA said.

2. The Twilight Zone
So {axis of evil} Iran and {axis of evil in waiting} Syria are now being asked to save the * cabal's butt from their self-inflicted Neocon wet dream?

We truly have entered the twilight zone.

3. Keeping the debate alive...
Is Bushco intensely, diabolically, brilliantly evil (despite their moronic frontman, dumbya), or just profoundly, stupendously stupid and incompetent? I consider myself a pretty smart guy, but w/ all the crazy shit they do, I really can't come to a conclusion on this. This is one more piece of the puzzle I can't fit in anywhere. I mean, I can readily buy that they would foment violence in Iraq as part of a ploy to get political capital for committing more military might to the region, but then why would they beg the country they're threatening with sanctions for help with the hornet's nest they just stirred up?

Maybe the solution is just that fifty percent or more of what we read in the "news" is just the shredded blowback from the world's intelligence agencies planting stories, and it's all nonsense anyway.

4. they must have been
planting fake picture of bodies and burn convoys

as to the naked emperor , Analys this :

He belongs to a very dangerous specie of homo eructs . This specie is neither very bright nor dim-witted altogether, He is basically FOXY.

Like all foxy people, he is dangerous in sense that he KNOWS contrary to dim-witted that he is not bright . The main characteristic of Foxiness is the obsessive tendency to take revenge for the natural mental impairment through the process of sublimation, which translates into " delusion of grandeur".

The foxy is perpetually looking for the opportunity to reach a position that allows him to use others as a substitute to his infirmity. It sucks!

In his case he has used his name recognition to attain high level of hierarchy.

I must add that Foxy People unlike dim witted to some extent, and regular people , lack any moral constraint, but they are aware of it. so to make up for it in order to meet their goal, they usually get involved in highly publicized fake religious or pther spiritual activity . Is he a puppet ? Absolutely not ! The only goal of this specie is sublimation and revenge and power.

Foxy have no other agenda beside raw power . Consequently, they are willing to let those who serve them play their games as long as they serve and strengthen their power. The funny thing is that most of the time his subordinate really think they are manipulating him. But he sees through them.
The lack of moral constraint make them careless, reckless . Their dominant trait :they enjoy life in reckless way .
