Partners in Crime: Iran and Syria Issue Joint Communiqué Against U.S.

Terrorist sponsors Iran and Syria have vowed to stand together in their terror wars against the West in general, and the U.S. in particular.

Syria doesn’t want to withdraw its troops from Lebanon or stop terrorists from crossing their border into Iraq, and Iran doesn’t want to drop its nuclear weapons ambitions.

Both do not like the fact that the U.S. is putting pressure on them to get out of the terrorism business and are being closely watched by Washington, other western nations, and the United Nations. They are letting their hostility toward Washington become known by publicly stating that they will stand together. Here's that part of the story.

Syria’s already interfering in Iraq by allowing terrorists to use its territory to stage bombings inside Iraq. Terrorists are entering from Iran as well, so their talk of not wanting to become enemies of the United States is misleading. Their terrorists are already at war with the U.S. military, so Syria and Iran should, at the very least, close their borders, man the border crossings and arrest terrorists as they encounter them and not just wave them through.

It's time for Iran and Syria to put up or shut up and prove their peaceful intentions.
