Syria and George Bush
When asked if Syria was responsible for the recent assasination Bush said, "I can't tell you yet,". "I don't know that. I'm going to withhold judgment until we know what the facts are."
Bush said he would consult with allies about Syria when he visits Europe next week, and said the United States supports an international investigation of Hariri's assassination.
The United States has withdrawn its ambassador to Syria, Margaret Scobey, and that "indicates that the relationship is not moving forward," the president said. He said Syria was "out of step with the progress being made in the greater Middle East."
The president also recently deliverd a stern warning to Syria that it must comply with the UN and pull out it's 13,000 troops from Lebanon. Clearly our differences with Syria are mounting.
