Their Patience and Ours by GARY LEUPP

The U.S. ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad says that the U.S. is "running out of patience" with Syria. That's nothing new; U.S. officials have been saying that for several years now. After President Bush's January 2002 speech joining together Iraq, Iran and North Korea as an "axis of evil," evil Undersecretary of State John Bolton huffed and puffed about a second tier of evildoing nations: Syria, Libya and Cuba. The neocon program is obviously to create a string of client-states in what it calls the "Greater Middle East"---an empire dripping with oil, bedecked with U.S. military bases, spread-eagled for U.S. corporate investment, warmly receptive to Israeli advances.
