DEBKAfile - US 101st Tackles Arab Tribes Helping Guerrillas Reach Iraq from Syria

I first commented on this, then deleted my comment. now I am reinstating.

it looks like arfrat has sent a whole bunch of palestinians to blow themselves up in iraq.

what I don't understand is how the UN can protect a guy who is purposefully sending suicide bombers to kill UN personnel.

obvious clue: using bomb belts.

It just further weakens the argument that the palestinians "have to use suicide bombers because it is the only weapon they have" (see below).

and by the way...who's bright idea was it to trust assad on keeping the iraq-syrian border closed? that is about the stupidest mistake that could be made, now there are 15,000 of them running around the countryside. great.
