From a Reuters article on the war:
"Economically reliant on illicit Iraqi oil supplies and ideologically close to its ruling Baath party, Syria has voiced strong support for Iraq since the war began 12 days ago and allowed volunteers to cross its border to fight for Saddam.

But it has denied Rumsfeld's accusation of shipping military supplies to Baghdad including night vision goggles, in what he called a hostile act that could put U.S. soldiers at risk."

...a hostile act that could put U.S. soldiers at risk?

War? What?
I guess Rumsfeld was expecting SurrenderFest '03.

And in other news...

NBC fired a journalist for a statement implying the U.S.'s current plan was a failure...
and pearls of wisdom from a member of the GOP:
"A Republican congresswoman, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, told Fox News Channel on Sunday that Arnett's remarks were ``Kafkaesque'' and ``just crazy.''

``Let's hope that he's being coerced,'' Ros-Lehtinen said."

....and that, ladies and gentleman, is why I don't want to do journalism for my whole life.
