Condi Rice Chastises Syria and Sends Them to Bed without Dessert!

We're going to be stretched awfully thin invading Syria AND Iran considering how Iraq and Afghanistan are going. Again, nods to Buzzflash.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice accused Syria on Tuesday of fomenting instability in Lebanon and told them to "knock it off."

She was speaking after a bomb killed George Hawi, an anti-Syrian politician and the former leader of the Lebanese Communist Party.

Rice said she did not know who detonated the bomb but said: "There is a context and an atmosphere of instability. Syria's activities are part of that context and a part of that atmosphere and they need to knock it off."
