Report: U.S. Considering Sending Troops Into Syria

HeadlineDec 27, 2004

The Jerusalem Post is reporting the Bush administration is contemplating sending troops into Syria in an attempt to kill or capture Iraqi Ba’athists who may be backing the Iraqi resistance. A senior U.S. administration official said, “If I were Syria, I’d be worried.” Last week the Jerusalem Post reported the Bush administration had provided Syria with a list of people it would like to see detained. But Syrian authorities have reportedly been unresponsive so far. President Bush also warned last week that he may level new sanctions on Syria.
