Syria Fires Scud Over Turkey

Thursday, June 02, 2005 Syria Fires Scud Over Turkey And it breaks up and showers bewildered farmers with bits of missile. Tough guy Bashar Assad had better stop playing games. He is on the excrement list as it is, and this imprudent move will do nothing except maybe raise his status in the eyes of his father's hardliners that remain in Damascus. And having your missile break up in parts in the atmosphere is more likely to inspire ire rather than fear in your enemies. 11:05 PM | | |
