MEMORANDUM TO: OPINION LEADERS
FROM: WILLIAM KRISTOL & ROBERT KAGAN
SUBJECT: Contracts for Iraq: Reverse the Pentagon's Decision


As the former Mossad chieftain Danny Yatom put it:
"I would be very worried if I were (Syrian President) Bashir Assad tonight. President Bush has just signed a law which allows him to take drastic steps against Syria if it refuses to accede to the American request to ... cease its support for Hezbollah and other terrorist groups. ... The Americans are showing their determination. Despite more than 400 dead, they are still there and they intend to act. That should worry Bashir Assad."

Implicate Syria, and we'll spare your life. Will Saddam take the deal?
