BTW, a news story today details admissions made by a Syrian
intelligence
officer that Syria is deeply involved in the Iraqi insurgency,
supplying
arms and support, with the express purpose of keeping the US away from
Syria.

Interesting. I hadn't heard that.

Of course, if it is, as you cite, "with the express purpose of keeping
the US away from
Syria. ", then that sounds like a strategic move in the interests of
Syria. Or aren't they supposed to take actions which support their
cause?

Historically, has the USA never supported freedom fighters?

Interesting indeed. Smoking gun interesting.

More likely it's because they know darned well that the US will discover all
sorts of WMD's and other terrorist-facilitating evidence upon which to base
a decision to sanction them.

Terrorists and terrorist-supporting nations are not "freedom fighters."

The winners, which will be us.

The fact that you cannot distinguish between terrorists (and the nations
which support them) who deliberately target civilians in a calculated
attempt to instill terror from soldiers (including "freedom fighters")
engaging other soldiers in a war is reprehensible.
