Bush's Speech Declaration of War, Says Syria
(Reuters/Times of India) - Syrian state media on Thursday called U.S. President Bush's speech this week a "declaration of war" against neighboring Iraq. Al-Baath newspaper said: "The speech was not a State of the Union address as much as it was a state of Iraq address...it ranked as a declaration of war." Al-Baath is the mouthpiece of the ruling Baath Socialist Arab Party, chaired by President Bashar al-Assad. "How can we imagine that the Zionism-leaning circles in America and elsewhere would accept a dialogue with the land of Babylon?" it asked in its editorial.
