Syria to Place Sanctions on U.S.

This is CNN :
Syria is preparing a law that would prohibit trade dealings with the United States in response to U.S. sanctions imposed on the Arab country last month, Syrian legislators said Saturday.

More than 130 members of the 250-seat legislature have prepared a draft of the "America Accountability Act" that would impose "strict sanctions" on American interests in Syria.

In a statement faxed to The Associated Press in Damascus, parliament officials said the draft law is a response to "Washington's policy in the region and its unlimited support and bias for Israeli policies and practices and to the Syria Accountability Act."

The Syria Accountability Act is a U.S. law passed last year that calls for sanctions against Syria for its alleged support of terrorism. Syria denies the U.S. claims and says the sanctions are political.

Matt's Chat

Other than terrorism, what do we really get from Syria? I welcome sanctions from Syria. I welcomed our sanctions of Syria. Syria is a miserable country that needs to get with it on the war on terror.

Mark's Remarks


Matt, they are terror supporters. We need to get rid of the crown prince or whatever of Syria. His dad was bad news and so is he. He has supported terror and continues to do so. He probably has some weapons from Iraq laying around. Of course, if you hate the US, you have to be right in the eyes of the Left and liberals everywhere, so there will be no outrage or sense of hypocrisy on the part of the Fascist Press.
