And the leader for speaking out on this is none other than Lieberman. Laughing

Go figure. Boo hoo! Dead Horse

U.S. intel cites Damascus airport as Al Qaida hub

 
Quote:
WASHINGTON — Sen. Joseph Lieberman has been recruiting support for legislation that would sanction Damascus International Airport.

Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, said the airport has become the major conduit for Al Qaida fighters to Iraq as well as Iranian weapons shipments to Lebanon. He based his assertion on briefings from the U.S. military.
On Thursday, the Bush administration released an unclassified version of a national intelligence estimate that supported Lieberman's allegations against Syria. But the report said Damascus, despite its increase in support for militias in Iraq, has cracked down on Al Qaida in wake of a determination that the Islamic movement threatens Syrian national security.

Lieberman said U.S. intelligence has determined that the lion's share of Sunni volunteers fly into Damascus International Airport and then proceed overland to Iraq. He said this makes Damascus the hub of Al Qaida travel in the Middle East.

Congressional sources said House and Senate members were discussing sanctions against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad. The sources said Congress has been briefed by U.S. military commanders who said Syria continues to serve as the main conduit for volunteers for the Sunni insurgency in neighboring Iraq.

Lieberman, you mean "Pac Man"? I trust his assertions so much that I ignore just about everything he says as the words of his puppet master, AIPAC.
