Like the good Zionist servants that they are, various officials in Washington kept prattling on relentlessly, and ratcheting up the pressure against Syria. By Wednesday morning Washington had "recalled our ambassador to Syria for urgent consultations prompted by the 'heinous' assassination of Lebanese former prime minister Rafik Hariri."
Washington stopped short of directly pointing the finger at Syria this time, but expressed to Damascus its “deep concern as well as our profound outrage over this heinous act of terrorism”, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said.
US officials said they were consulting with members of the UN Security Council on a response to the bombing and mulling additional sanctions against Syria if it did not resolve US complaints over a range of issues.
Boucher said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice “has decided to recall the US ambassador to Syria, Margaret Scobey, for urgent consultations following the brutal murder of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri.”
Spokesman Boucher did not call the move a downgrading of ties, but said there was no timeframe for when Scobey would return to Damascus where she delivered a message of the United States’ anger on Monday night and Tuesday morning.
As usual, the Zionist Jews and American officials have all developed historical amnesia, and are once again indulging themselves in hallucinations about overwhelming American firepower, and the mistaken belief that they can defeat anyone at any time.
When Sharon and his mass murderers retreated south from Beirut to Palestine in 1985, it was not because they just felt like going home to Tel Aviv for a coffee break. The Zionist Jews were driven out of Lebanon by a vastly superior military force called the Hezbollah, and no amount of exaggerated war stories will change the harsh reality that the Zionist Jews were outflanked, out maneuvered, and comprehensively beaten on all fronts.
During the twenty years that have passed since then, Zionist forces in Palestine have shrunk in size while Hezbollah has more than doubled its operational strength. Syria has been rearmed with state-of-the-art Russian weapon systems, which to a large extent have now been integrated with the Lebanese Army and Hezbollah.
The bottom line is that the Zionist Jews in Palestine are now operating largely on smoke and mirrors, with only a handful of micro nukes left for theatrical effect. Yes, Rafik Hariri was a good man who Lebanon could ill afford to lose at a critical juncture in history like this, but ultimately his murder will make no difference to the performance of the massive heavily armed Arab juggernaut, when it finally decides to move south-east and crush that puny twenty-two foot concrete wall around Tel Aviv.
Lebanese Army General Proves Bomb Was Pre-positioned Underground
LEBANON 19 February 2005:
"The bomb was placed underground, especially (since) the crater was so huge," said Hisham Jaber, a retired brigadier general and former professor at the Lebanese Military and Staff Command College. "Even a car with 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds) of TNT wouldn't create such a crater."
Jaber, who inspected the assassination site but is not part of the investigation, said a suicide attack was the least likely cause of the explosion. He noted the crater was near the middle of the road, indicating the bomb was likely placed under the street and not in a parked car.
Suspicion that the bomb was under the street increased Friday when the chief military investigator demanded that police investigate recent road works in the area. Jaber said that although Hariri's motorcade had equipment to jam electronic transmissions, the device could have been circumvented by a wire-triggered bomb or a counter-device placed in a nearby vehicle.
