I think Syria has shown a LOT of political savvy. They have managed to make the Bush administration go on the defensive. Rumsfeld really needs to be softened up. His comments threatening syria were out-of-line for the head of defense and should have been delivered by the secretary of state. If the USA doesn't intent to invade syria, the head of the dept. of defense should be talking about them. Powell should.
I've been impressed with Syria's ability to outmaneuver us on this. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. OF COURSE Israel isn't giving up their nukes, but by putting the issue on the table, Syria has put the USA and Israel in a defensive position in regards to weapons.
