Rumsfeld Warns Syria on Iraq Equipment

Mar 28, 2:02 PM (ET)

By MATT KELLEY

WASHINGTON (AP) - Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld issued a stern warning to Syria on Friday to stop sending military equipment to Iraqi forces, saying such shipments have included night-vision goggles.

"We consider such trafficking as hostile acts and will hold the Syrian government accountable for such shipments," Rumsfeld said at a Pentagon briefing.

"There's no question but that to the extent that military supplies or equipment or people are moving across the borders between Iraq and Syria, it vastly complicates our situation," Rumsfeld said.

Asked if the United States was threatening military action against Syria, Rumsfeld said: "I'm saying exactly what I'm saying. It was carefully phrased."

I understand the frustration and am pretty ticked off, but it seems that both sides of this war seem to think there are some rules to be followed.

Did the war come with a box top with instructions?

"Pose as civilians and go back three spaces?"

"Provide military assistance to the enemy and lose a turn?"
