Raise Your Hand If You're Surprised

Truck used in UN bombing came from Syria.

Now no one has alleged that Syria was in any other way involved. And of course, the truck could have been stolen.

But is anyone really sitting there going "Hmmm. Syria might have played a part. How odd!"? I kind of doubt it. Most likely the reaction was "Syria. OK, I can believe that."

Syria is concerned because they know that they have to watch their step. Hezbollah is a de facto Syrian group. They are already responsible for a fair amount of the violence in Israel. They cannot afford to be linked with terrorism in Iraq.

Unless, of course, the want to be linked up with the Marines.
