Thanking Syria...? Wait a minute... What's going on here...?

i thought we didn't even TALK to people we don't like, much less THANK 'em... hell, even when we DO like somebody, we sometimes, just like cheney, shoot 'em in the face...

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice thanked Syria's security forces and expressed condolences over the death of the guard.

"I do think that the Syrians reacted to this attack in a way that helped to secure our people and we very much appreciate that," she said.

Rice said Syria had helped to "secure our people"

"I think it's very early to try and speculate why this may have happened," she said.

White House spokesman Tony Snow said the US was "grateful for the assistance the Syrians provided in going after the attackers".

"We are hoping they will become an ally and make the choice of fighting against terrorists," he said.

The attack comes at a time of heightened tensions between Washington and Damascus, with bitterness in Syria over US support for Israeli military action in Lebanon.

The US accuses Syria of supporting the insurgency in Iraq and not doing enough to prevent weapons going to Hezbollah militants in Lebanon.

we don't like 'em so much, there's not even an AMBASSADOR at the embassy...

There is currently no US ambassador to Damascus and very limited contact between the governments.

what if the cubans halted an attack against the u.s. interests section office in havana... just sayin'...?
