U.S. invades Syria
Tuesday, October 28th, 2008It’s not enough that we’re waging war in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and Iran, now Bush has invaded Syria.
A man at the scene who refused to be identified said there were four helicopters, two of which landed, and eight soldiers came down and started shooting. He said all the people killed were shot on the ground, not from the air.
About one kilometer away, at the one-story family house of Dawoud al-Abdullah, who was killed in the bombing along with his four sons, about 30 women dressed in black were weeping in a small courtyard. They all dismissed allegations that the dead men had links to al-Qaida.
“They were innocent laborers who worked from dusk to dawn,” said Abdullah’s wife, Rima, while sitting on the floor. She said work at the construction site started last week.
The raid illustrates what has been called the new Bush Doctrine, which is simply that the United States reserves the right to cross any international border it pleases in pursuit of anybody we don’t like, and the sovereignty of other nations be damned.
