Congressional lawmakers on Wednesday laid out a detailed and disturbing picture of alleged Syrian complicity with Saddam Hussein’s Iraq.
And because of that complicity, money funneled into Iraq may have gone to help fuel the insurgency currently targeting U.S. and coalition troops, as well as Iraqi civilians, said members of the House International Relations Joint Oversight Subcommittee.
Syria had a more than $3 billion role in funneling money and weapons to Saddam Hussein during the period of the scandal-plagued U.N. Oil-for-Food (search) program, according to documents obtained by the congressional panel.
The Syrian government, led by President Bashir Assad, isn’t saying what it has done with that cash. But Congress fears it may now be in the hands of terrorists not just in Iraq but around the world.
“We see the bloody consquences of the arming of Iraq even going on today,” Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., said Wednesday during a subcommittee hearing. “I wouldn’t think that it would be irrational for us to conclude, madame chairman, that those funds are being filtered to those people who are financing this bloody insurgency that is going on in Iraq today.”
I can’t help but wonder if the Islamofascist terrorism would have its back broken if the US took the Assad family and the Baath party out in Syria. Just go and kill them, not the population, but the Assads and the Baath party members.
who did what to who and when? innocent is not the question but who got the money and what bank is it in?
this is an old game and its working on people just like it did 5000 year ago.:roll:
