Syria will strike not only Israel, but also Jordan and
Turkey if they participate in the US-led military intervention, said Syrian
Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Al Mekdad. In an interview with the newspaper
"The Wall Street Journal ', Al Mekdad warned of the consequences of a U.S.
attack against Syria. He said that Damascus will strike not only to Israel but
also to neighboring Syria, Jordan and Turkey, if they participate in an
international military operation led by the United States.
"Once war starts no one can control what will happen.
Believe that any attack on Syria will certainly result in chaos in the region,
if not beyond," said the vice chancellor. He also said that military
action would strengthen extremist rebel groups linked to al Qaeda. Al Mekdad called
U.S. To dialogue. "We hope that the
U.S. representatives exercise wisdom, listen to the voice of justice and flee
from provocative actions.
We love the people of America, there is millions of
Americans of Arab origin, even Syrians, and we do not want war with the United
States", said the diplomat, who served as his country's envoy to the UN in
New York from 2003-2006. According to Al Mekdad, the decision
of Barack Obama to postpone a military operation does not change
anything for Syria and called his statements " maneuver political and
media "whose sole purpose is to gain time. According to the Syrian senior
U.S. President is "indecisive and confused".
