On to Damascus!

Since they've got the best quality steel to be found and our own production industry went overseas almost fifty years ago...

Holy Joe, courtesy of the (surprise, surprise, surprise!) WSJ:

The United States is at last making significant progress against al Qaeda in Iraq--but the road to victory now requires cutting off al Qaeda's road to Iraq through Damascus.

Syrian President Bashar al Assad cannot seriously claim that he is incapable of exercising effective control over the main airport in his capital city. Syria is a police state, with sprawling domestic intelligence and security services. The notion that al Qaeda recruits are slipping into and through the Damascus airport unbeknownst to the local Mukhabarat is totally unbelievable.


Ah, Diplomacy... what a beautiful thing...
