Achille Lauro Mastermind Abbas Caught
- Thread starter Marshallj
- Start date
I guess Syria isn't letting Iraqis in after all. Time for the Administration to come up with a new excuse.
I wonder if the Syrians also dropped a dime on him to try to get into the good graces of the US after the recent fiascos in diplomacy.
Edit: Also, I have to agree that the statement that Saddam did not support terrorism is getting shakier by the moment. It would be impossible to think that a man the likes of Abul Abbas is in Iraq without the consent of the Iraqi leadership.
The Syrians probably turned him away because we shut off the oil pipline from Iraq to Syria today.
The US better not catch all the terrorists in Iraq or else they won't have no1 to catch when they march towards Demascus. but it probably isn't up to Syria, if the US wants to fight they will fight no matter what.
even though syria's leader is wet in the pants (untested), the regime around him isn't. However, I'm sure that the recent warnings have scared the shi'ite out of them.
He isn't Iraqi.
Nice try though.
I would imagine that the important Iraqis have already left the country. Syria can now close the border and give them safe haven.

We will do whatever we can to avoid taking any military action against Syria. I think everyone knows that even if there was a good reason, it would only fuel the fire of all the Arab countries claiming we want to take over the middle east.
It's quite obvious to anyone with a brain that Iraq was a supporter of terrorism. The training camps in the North, the arrests of people like Abbas, the rewards Saddam's regime gives to the families of suicide bombers in Iraq and Israel.

Bush is looking more and more like a hero.
Wait until the troops find a big old stash of anthrax or worse and then watch the pro-Saddam group accuse the US of planting the evidence.

I remember when Abbas et. al. went about their dirty deeds. His capture after all these years, sans Italian "assistance", is long overdue.

Nice try Jackass! We have Satellite pics of these scumbags going too and from Syria before, during, and after this operation. Just now we're begining to find the things we knew were hidden there, including human pond-scum like this piece of garbage. I hope you never suffer the pain of a relative being killed because of an extremists ideals, and their feelings that people not associated with their cause are nothing more than collateral damage. Lets not forget the American this Asswipe and his buddies killed, was a wheel chair bound old man who was tossed overboard from a four story ship. Syria has been harboring amoebas like this as long as Iraq, and now that the pressures on, we'll see just how much backbone they have when or if we decide to play in their backyard next.

The US doesn't have the balls to attack a sovereign nation like Syria. It's not that our military doesn't overpower theirs by a factor of a million, but the Bush administration was treading a fine line with the whole "pre-emption" deal in Iraq. We will see ice cubes in hell before he makes a move on Syria without conclusive proof (which would consist of documents tying the Syrian government to terrorist organizations) and international support (which won't come without getting the proof first).
Seeing as the Bush administration proved the existence of WMD in Iraq as well as a toddler proving a calculus problem, we will not see a war in Syria. And I'm a betting man.

Well your wrong and your right.
Your wrong about the WMD. We have a load of evidence that grows daily, and it takes time to process it to prove conclusively that mobile labs, barrels of material, and missiles with warheads yet unidentified, are truely what we claim they are, I believe that in the coming months more and more evidence will be found and eventually we will be proved right.
Your right however that we wont just go headfirst into a war with Syria. Our intent is to pressure them to begin to take the steps to legitimize themselves as a nation who does not harbor, finance or support Terrorism in any way. This they have done for decades without the worry of our presence so close to them. I believe once the threat of economic sanctions is thrown into the mix, and we begin to squeeze them to comply, they will.

Palestinian Authority Demands U.S. Free Abu Abbas
Two quotes from this article:
"The Palestinian-Israeli interim agreement signed on September 28, 1995 stated that members of the Palestine Liberation Organization must not be detained or tried for matters they committed before the Oslo peace accord of September 13, 1993," he said.
Abbas masterminded the 1985 hijacking of the Achille Lauro cruise ship in the Mediterranean.

Interesting, do they actually have a point?

He is supposedly a man of peace now and has sworn off violence...
So let me get this straight, I can hijack boats, shoot people in wheelchair, then dump them over the side...hide out in a nation that supports terrorism and will not let the bad people get me for a certain amount of time, then I am immune from prosecution?
I would have felt something for him had he stayed in Baghdad and waged a personal "CRUSADE" to end state sponsored terrorism and restore humanity to the region. Since he is a murderer of handicaps and hid out in a Nation where raping and killing civilians is an accepted habit....I feel nothing for him nor his wife pleading for his release.

The hijacking was ended in exchange for his safe passage in Egypt. Then when his plane took off from Egypt, it was intercepted by US Navy planes and forced to land in Italy. Then the Italian leader at the time ordered him released. Then Italy sentences him to 4 consecutive life terms in absentia.
Very weird.
By the way, the U.S. and Italy were witnesses to that treaty but were not signers. So I would guess we are not really obligated to follow it. In any case, the guy should never be free again. And I'm guessing we could find quite a few times that the Palestinians violated the treaty if we looked.

i see, interesting. i didn't know much about this guy or the story. i also didn't know whether we really did sign that as it said. i don't see us letting this guy go, either us or Italy are gonna take him.
-Krugger
Czar, Israel agreed under Oslo not to prosecute him. The US and italy both have the right to pursue murder charges against him being that neither nation signed the treaty. He killed an american and he should be tried for it, I don't care if he's "sorry" and "won't do it again". I don't believe in EVER letting murders get away.
