U.S. rejects Syrian statement, threatens "serious
consequences"
A Syrian government statement that Syria is doing all it can to police its
borders with Iraq was rejected on Friday by State Department deputy spokesman
Adam Ereli, who threatened Syria with "serious consequences".
"Innocent people are getting blown up in Iraq because Syria is allowing its
territory to be used by terrorists bent on sowing murder and mayhem in Iraq,"
Ereli said during a department briefing. "And they are not going to succeed.
The international community is not going to let this continue to happen".
More and more, Syria is being recognized as a "destabilizing element" in the
region, Ereli said.
Problems with Syria go beyond Iraq and include Lebanon and the Palestinian
Authority, Ereli said, "because there is a connection between Syria and
terrorism and murder and mayhem in each of these three different areas".
In Lebanon, Syria continues to have a residual presence that does not
contribute to the well-being and welfare of the Lebanese people or the
sovereignty of Lebanon, he said.
In Gaza and the West Bank, Syria continues to associate with terrorist
elements bent on sabotaging the peace process and undermining the peaceful
aspirations of the Palestinian people for an independent state, "and they are
certainly out of step with the rest of the world on that," Ereli said.
In Iraq, there continue to be clear and indisputable connections between
Syrian territory and "activities in Syria that the Syrian government can do
something about that are directly connected to the insurgency in Iraq," he
added.
Responding to the call by Syria for the United States and Iraq to engage
with Syria on the Iraq border issue, Ereli said, "There is no absence of
engagement," but instead an absence of "a willingness on the part of the
Syrian government to take actions that is within its capacity to take to
prevent Syrian territory from being used by insurgents and those that
insurgents have recruited from across the region and across the world to go
into Iraq to kill innocent Iraqis and to prevent Iraq from being a democratic,
stable and sovereign state".
"Does Syria not care that young guys from Yemen or Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan
or Iran come into Damascus airport with a one way ticket and no job and no
place to stay and then find their way into Iraq, where they strap bombs to
themselves and blow themselves up and kill women and children from a market?"
Ereli said. "I mean, why does Syria continue to let that happen unless there
is a deliberate decision to do it".
The message from the United States and Iraq to Syria is that Syria must "make
a choice, because the choice you make, whether it is to do something or not to
do something, has consequences, and serious consequences," Ereli said.
There is a critical and disproportionate role related to Syria and the
insurgency in Iraq that needs to be addressed "with urgency," he added.
On Monday, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad said
time was running out for Damascus to stop insurgent incursions into
Iraq from Syria
