IT'S TOO MUCH TO HOPE...:

Fears grow in Lebanon as 10,000 Syrian troops arrive on the border (Nicholas Blanford, 9/24/08, Times of London)

Syria has massed thousands of troops along its border with northern Lebanon in what officials in Beirut fear is a prelude to the first incursion since Syrian forces pulled out three years ago.

Although Damascus insists that its forces are conducting an antismuggling operation, the Lebanese Government is eyeing the moves with unease, believing that the unusual scale of the deployment has more to do with tensions between the two countries over recent sectarian clashes in northern Lebanon.

...that Baby Assad would hand W the pretext he needs to finish the WoT during his Administration, isn't it?
