Please don't get me wrong. I didn't allude to Paul agreeing with Saddam. I said his tone and stance makes it seem he supports Saddam.
I would dearly like to believe otherwise.

Syria is all but giving Bush the wedgie of his life, I've never seen so much baiting, they've called for suicide bombers, they've flung dung in his face, but so far, the official word is, no, we won't touch them, even when Syria reports something like this yesterday.

"Vis-a-vis the current criminal aggression on Iraq, the world has to act in a practical manner to stop the war criminals. The US-British aggression seems to be worse than the Nazis. In the Second World War, the West stood in confrontation of Hitler. Now, Bush is acting worse than Hitler. The world, in the foremost among whom being all advocates of peace and democracy, must build their alliance to stop the new Hitler. The West, China, Japan and other freedom-loving nations elsewhere must close ranks to stop the Chief Cowboy, Bush. We believe that this Cowboy is able to light his cigar without putting the whole forest on fire!!! Don't let this war criminal at large!"

My thoughts on all this are that the original plan WAS to take Syria, but since the Iraqi war was so much more than they bargained for, they're not going to be ready to jump into another one anytime so soon. So Syria sticks out her tounge, waggles her ears and laughs, knowing nothing's going to happen. There's always next year, guys.
