Israel Matzav

The pot calls the kettle black

Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Mualem accused the United States of committing a terrorist act and declared that Damascus holds Washington responsible for the US military raid on Sunday evening in which eight people were killed. Describing the victims as innocent victims, Mualem failed to note that among those killed was a senior Al Qaida official. I guess Mualem thinks he's innocent too. Mualem said that Syria would retaliate if the United States launches further attacks on Syrian soil. That should be interesting.

Let's go to the videotape.



Can anyone imagine an Obama administration undertaking a raid like this? They'd seek advice first from Rashid Khalidi (odds of his saying yes - none) and then seek permission from the United Nations and the euroweenies.

Here's a cell phone recording of the raid itself. The narration is in Russian - if anyone speaks Russian and hears anything interesting, please put it in the comments.

Let's go to the videotape.
