Bush Calls For UN Session On Syria
(AP) -- President George W. Bush on Friday called on the United Nations to convene a session as soon as possible to deal with a U.N. investigative report implicating Syrian officials in the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
"The report strongly suggests that the politically motivated assassination could not have taken place without Syrian involvement," Bush said after helping dedicate a new pavilion at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Southern California.
The U.N. investigative report, which Bush called "deeply disturbing," established a link between high-ranking Syrian officials and their Lebanese allies in Hariri's murder February 14 in Beirut.
Clearly something that needed to be done, though I wouldn't expect anything major from the UN. Perhaps a strongly-worded letter or two, but that's about it.
If there's going to be something done about Syria it will likely have to be the result of action taken unilaterally or with a coalition of concerned nations.
