• Aug.9, 2007: There are more than 1.5 million Iraqi refugees in Syria, with as many as 10,000 coming from Iraq each week. This situation is pushing Syria over the edge.  Many Syrian people are scared of the consequences.  Prostitution and crimes has risen sharply with the Iraqi influx. Housing is getting very expensive, food prices had increased 10 times. Hospitals and schools are flooded with Iraqi, since such services are offered for free to them. Syrian economy can not support large population. In public schools overwhelmed teachers are forced to work double shifts to accommodate Iraqis, also class sizes reached to as high as 70 students. Electrical power grid has shortage, due to high consumption. Blackouts are more frequent and can last up to 12 hours. Syrian people do not want another crises in top of the Palestinian refugee of over 500,000 who are living there and given free services (free schooling, medical care, and free utilities) and in top of that they are getting the jobs of the Syrians. Unemployment has reached over 20% and increasing. Trouble times are ahead for Syria; however the Syrian government is doing nothing to protect the interest of its people.

  Aug.5, 2007: Syria has criticized the US and the Gulf Arab states on the arms support deal given by the US , in order to enhance these countries military against the growing threats of Iran. However non of these countries has criticized Syria or Russia on the recent Arms deal  given to Syria , including the most advanced MiG 31 Fighters Plane, considered the most advanced fighter in the World. Such planes are not a major threat to Israel, but to other Arab countries.

   

  Aug.4, 2007: Syria will soon receive MiG fighter-jet considered the most advanced in Russia's arsenal, said Russian aviation sources. The Russian MiG-31E, with a configuration similar to one ordered by India. The deal will be financed by Iran.

• Feb.5, 2006:Thousands of Syrians enraged by caricatures of Islam's revered prophet torched the Danish and Norwegian embassies in Damascus on the most violent in days of furious protests by Muslims in Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

   

• Jan.27, 2006: Syrian President, Al-Assad, accused Israel of assassinating former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. "Of the many assassinations that Israel carried out in a methodical and organized way, the most dangerous thing that Israel did was the assassination of President Yasser Arafat," al-Assad told the gathering of Arab lawyers in Damascus. "This was under the world's gaze and its silence, and not one state dared to issue a statement or stance towards this, as though nothing happened."Al Assad by making such a statement is directly implicating himself in the killing of Lebanon Prime Minister , Rafik Harreri, as his message is why Israel; make an assassination of Yasser Arafat and no one talk about and when he order the assassination of Rafik Harreri the whole world is against him? What kind of argument is that!?

   

• Jan.19,2006: The exiled head of Syria's largest opposition group has called on President Bashar Al Assad to abandon the regime if he cannot implement the reforms he promised. Step by step Syrian people are insisting and demanding a regime change.

  ---

Assef Shawkat is the main man accused of giving the order and planning of Prime Minister Harreri assassination early in 2005. Assef Shawkat has threatened that he will burn Syria and will not stand in front of UN commission for the questioning and investigation of Rafik Harreri.

Jan.6, 2005: Syria's former vice president says the country's leader is a "traitor" who has damaged Syria and caused it to be alienated from the Arab world. He also stated:” The country is suffering from hunger and Bashar Assad gave one his relatives the cellular phone concession and another friend another concession. The treasury lost 700 million dollars as a result. I am also speaking of corruption in Lebanon. It reached the point of prostitution: example? [The scandal surrounding the collapse of] Bank Al Madina. [ Former Chairman of the Syrian intelligence] Rustom Ghazaleh, I can attest, stole 35 million dollars from this bank.”

He also stated:” More than half of Syrians people live in poverty. Tens of thousands of university graduates are unemployed”.

 Jan.6, 2006: President Assad of Syria is in deep trouble, he is trying to lie about his threatening of Rafik Harreri, Prime Minister of Lebanon who was assassinated by direct order from AlAssad, and is lying about it, he also asked his security agents to assassinate Abdulhaleem Khaddam, who was his Vice President, who made statements against the Baath regime and President Assad and his corrupted government. Bashar AlAssad refuses to meet the UN Investigators to question him about the killing of Rafik Harreri. Bashar AlAssad and his Baath regime days are numbered and he still defies the International well. He also refuses to see the global changes and the world determination to change his regime. AlAssad will soon be tried for his crimes against the Syrian people and against his crimes in Lebanon , by an International court.

• Dec.31, 2005: The stupid Syrian lawmakers have voted unanimously to call on the government to put Abdel-Halim Khaddam, the former vice-president, on trial for treason after he publicly broke with Bashar al-Assad, the president.

•  Bashar Al Assad and Asef Shawkat , they have a very close relation and AL Assad will never hand over Assef Shawkat for questioning by UN, even if that mean the destruction of Syria.

• NOv.15, 2005: Syria still have many secret agents in Lebanon, they are trying to destabilize the country and trigger a civil war. Recently Syria cut off the Electrical Interconnection with Lebanon , therefore escalating tension between the two countries.

• Nov. 1, 2005: UN Security Council has issued resolution 1636 demanding Syria cooperate fully with a UN investigation into the death of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri or face possible further action. The foreign ministers of Britain( Mr. Straw) and Syria ( farooq Al sharaa) exchanged angry words over the resolution. It is obvious that Syria have no respect to the UN and to no other country in the world.

• Oct.30^th., 2005: Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has ordered a judicial committee to be formed to investigate the assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri. Isn’t too late after 1 year to make such investigation. Again the Syrian government want to fool the world and convince is that it did not have anything to do with it. The fact is the Syrian government has approved the assignation and the persons in charge were : Asef Shawkat, Rustom Ghazala and the bother of the Syrian President, Maher Al assad. Now can the Syrian investigation committee do anything about these big shot symbol of the ruling regime.

Feb.26,2005: Syrian trrops are still stationed in Leban

Free Syria from the Baath regime

• 

  March 9.2005: Hezbollah chief Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah led a massive show of force by nearly half a million pro-Syrian allies yesterday swarming the heart of Beirut as Syria prepared for a much-awaited troop redeployment. Nasrallah, head of the powerful Shiite movement Hezbollah, warned Washington not to interfere in Lebanon. Nasrallah called for dialogue to end the political crisis in Lebanon, which has been gripped by political paralysis since the assassination of ex-premier Rafik Hariri that the opposition blamed on the pro-Syrian regime and Damascus. The rally coincided with the anniversary of the Baath party's rise to power in Syria, which has pulled the strings in political and military life in Lebanon for almost three decades. They poured in from across Lebanon, which has a population of 4.5 million population in addition to hundreds of thousands of Syrian workers. The size of the demonstration highlighted the political divisions over the future of the country that still bears the scars of a devastating 15-year civil war that ended in 1990. Lebanese army jeeps and armoured vehicles were lined up to separate the pro-Syrian demonstrators from neighboring Martyrs' Square, which has been filled almost daily with rival opposition supporters chanting "Syria out.". By the massive show of numbers of its supporters, Syria is showing that it may be forced to leave Lebanon but its influence is not over and can still set policy through its allies without having to take the blame. At least one opposition leader said the pro-Syrian government pressured people to turn out and some reports said Syria had bussed in people from across the border. Hezbollah officials denied the claim. Hezbollah, founded by Iran and backed in part by Syria, has emerged as a key player during the latest political instability, capable of tilting the balance in favor of the pro-Syrian government.

• March 8, 2005:  Syria on Monday pledged to pull back its remaining 14,000 troops towards the eastern Bekaa Valley by the end of March but stopped short of announcing a full withdrawal. According to a Lebanese security source, Syrian troops have begun redeploying to eastern Lebanon Tuesday in the first stage of a two-phased withdrawal from the country. The Syrian and Lebanese presidents agreed to withdraw troops according to the 1989 Taif Accord, not U.N. Resolution 1559. The Taif agreement calls for a pullback to the Bekaa Valley and later, after more discussions, into Syria. Resolution 1559 calls for the complete and immediate withdrawal of Syrian troops.
• March2, 2005: Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, yesterday promised to withdraw all his country’s troops from neighboring Lebanon within “a few months”. Is this a joke or Saddam tactics. One day , he said it will take a year and next day he is saying a few months. President Assad was given a clear message from Saudia Arabia to leave Lebanon or face a real crisis against the superpower. Even a few months is considered too long, Assad should order the pullout immediately, otherwise the situation will escalate inside Lebanon and even internationally
• Feb.28, 2005: Syrian President announced today that Syrian forces will not leave Lebanon any time soon and it might take a year or more to do so , however he indicated that any Syrian pullout should be within the general frame of Middle East peace agreement and the return of Golan Height. It seems that President Assad is making the same mistakes as Saddam Husain when he linked his pullout from Kuwait by Isreali pullout from Palestine. The Assad dynasty is built around the Baath Party, similar to Saddam Husain , regime and it seems that Assad and the Bath party in Syria did not learn a lesson from Iraq and their end is coming soon.
• Feb.22,2005: European Union Foreign ministers yesterday called for an international investigation to find out who was behind the killing of former Lebanese premier Rafik Hariri, a move which could anger Syria. The EU action came as visiting US President George W Bush said Syria "must end" its three-decade occupation in Lebanon.  The EU ministers toughened their stance against Syria, giving warning they were keeping a close eye on Damascus' involvement in Lebanese politics.
• Feb.22, 2005: The Arab League chief said yesterday that Syria will "soon" take steps to withdraw its army from Lebanese areas in accordance with a 1989 agreement, but it was not clear whether that meant Syria would completely leave Lebanon as demanded by the international community. The announcement by Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa came after a meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad. "Assad stressed more than once his firm determination to go on with implementing the Taif agreement and achieve Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon in accordance with this agreement. The Irony , is that Bashar AL Assad and non of his government wanted to make the statement , themselves , as they want to maneuver around such issue and never want to leave Lebanon. This is very typical of a coward Baathist regime , which is very similar to Saddam regime.
• Feb.18, 2005: The corrupt Syrian government , which is controlled by Intelligence service , similar to Saddam regime, has created many obstacle to Saudi investor Walid ben Talal ( Saudi billionaire) and has taken over his Four Points Hotel project in central Damascus. Syria have very few hotels and the touristic industry is very primitive. The Prince wanted to develop a 5 star hotel in support of Syrian economy , however the corrupted government has no interest. Top intelligence official is beyond the issue.
