This is funny, in a sad-clown, third-world tinpot dictatorship and sponsor of terrorism in benighted neighboring countries kind of way. Official Syrian press columnist calls Bush “the Fuehrer of the 21st century” and predicts US empire’s fall. MEMRI:

My latest at Pajamas re Iran, Syria, Israel and the United States. There was the U.S. flanking of Iran in Iraq and Afghanistan. Then you had the Iranian/Syrian flanking of U.S. in Iraq. Are we now seeing the Israeli/U.S. flanking of Iran and Syria? Hope so. Related links:
