I have been known to post some inflammatory remarks about Syria now and again but it’s not without good reason.

I believe Syria to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

I’ve been talking about the Iraq/Syria insurgency connection for sometime-well, I’d like you to check this out…yet another recent reason as to why I believe the statement of the wolf in sheep’s clothing has merit. Can Syria not be on the honor system with any of it’s neighbors?

UNITED NATIONS – Lebanon regularly reports arms being smuggling into the country from Syria but the authorities are treading softly due to their fragile political situation, a senior U.N. envoy said on Monday.

Government officials have informed the United Nations of smuggling as recently as “the last few weeks,” although they are providing no information on the quantities or types of arms being secreted across the border, said Terje Roed-Larsen, the top U.N. diplomat on Lebanese ties with Syria.

U.S. Ambassador John Bolton, quoting Roed-Larsen, said the officials were not being precise about the smuggling for fear of retaliation from Syria.

“The absence of complete cooperation by the government of Syria remains very troubling in that respect and I think it’s very courageous for any of the democratic politicians in Lebanon to go about their business under that kind of threat,” Bolton told reporters.
