US Attack On Syria

So I'm wondering...did they think that just because there are only 8 days until the election that we'd all be too preoccupied to notice that they're invading a new country?!

US helicopter-borne troops have carried out a raid inside Syria along the Iraqi border, killing eight people including four children, Syrian officials say.

The official Syrian news agency Sana said the raid took place in the Abu Kamal border area, in eastern Syria.

It said that American soldiers on four helicopters had stormed a building under construction on Sunday night.

The US says it is investigating. It has previously accused Syria of allowing foreign militants into Iraq.

Syria has summoned the US and Iraqi envoys in Damascus to protest at the raid.

"Syria condemns this aggressive act and holds American forces responsible for this aggression and all of its repercussions," a government official said.

If confirmed, the raid would be the first known attack by US forces inside Syrian territory, says BBC diplomatic correspondent Jonathan Marcus. - From BBC.com

So, the economy (not just our economy, the Global Economy) is collapsing, and it's not really making the news anymore, we're still in Iraq and Afghanistan, and it's really not making the news anymore...and now, we're attacking people in Syria? I mean I know it's important that the McCain campaign is paying Sarah Palin's makeup artist more than any one else on staff and that they spent $150,000 on her high school principal MILF outfits...if we have to talk about Palin at all, can't we talk about the fact that she's still under investigation in Alaska? 

But, can't we, for once, talk about the stuff that really matters? How about the fact that a "suspected US strike" killed 20 people in Pakistan. I mean we're picking off the sovereignty of these countries like cucumber sandwiches at a lobbyist party. Anyone notice the nice drop in gas prices lately? I've actually been seeing them for under $3.00 (Amazing.) but OPEC just threw an emergency meeting to make this decline end. Yep. 

I'm not really asking for a lot here...but sometimes getting anything of quality out of the media does seem like asking for snow in Southern California on Christmas.
