TAGS: KMDR PREL KPAO OPRC SY
SUBJECT: Syria/PDRK, US/Syria, Syria/EU, Lebanon, Iraq, Palestinian 
Territories, Rice's Upcoming Visit to Region (6/29-7/2) 
 
1.  Summary:  Syrian papers on July 2 reported the July 1 meeting of 
Assistant Secretary General of the Ba'ath Party, Abdullah al-Ahmar, 
with Kim Tai Jung, Deputy Chairman of the Foreign Relations' Bureau 
at the Central Committee of the Democratic Korean Work Party.  The 
two reviewed current developments in the region and the latest 
developments in the Korean peninsula, in addition to current 
challenges resulting from policies of hegemony and aggression that 
pose a threat to the security and stability in both areas and the 
world.  Al-Ahmar stressed Syria's appreciation for the PDRK's 
support for Syria's right to all of the occupied Golan and for a 
just and comprehensive peace in line with legitimate international 
resolutions. 
 
Government-owned Al-Thawra Chief Editor Abd-al-Fattah al-Awad 
criticized the US ban on travel to the United States by Syrian 
officials and pro-Syria Lebanese figures, charging the US 
administration of correcting its mistakes by making more mistakes 
and expressing pessimism that the Bush administration will accept 
facts on the ground and stop creating chaos in every place where it 
sets a foot.

3.  Editorial Block Quotes: 
 
------------------------------ 
 
"Days Pregnant with Mistakes" 
 
------------------------------ 
 
Chief Editor Abd-al-Fattah al-Awad, chief editor of government-owned 
Al-Thawra, wrote (7/1):  "Americans are now confused and bewildered, 
and in such a case follies increase.  US confusion takes many forms, 
one of which is the US tone in its approach toward Syria. 
 
"Just a short time ago, the Bush administration talked about 
dialogue, especially in the wake of the Baker-Hamilton report.  When 
Mouallem and Rice met in Sharm al-Sheikh, the impression was that 
Americans had taken a sip, just a sip, from the cup of wisdom, which 
made them understand the importance of dialogue. 
 
"But the dose was apparently not enough.  Between the call for 
dialogue and the current nervous and intransigent rejection of it, 
Bush's administration is showing its confusion and impotence. 
 
"The objective characterization of what is happening is that this 
administration has exhausted all the futile avenues in its effort to 
come out of its crises, and I do not say crisis.  This is simply 
because its evil intuition always leads it to the worst options.... 
 
"Those who contemplate the policy of the Bush administration find 
that it tries to correct its mistakes by making more mistakes. 
Applying new pressure against Syria is part of the series of 
mistakes the United States is used to making, or we are accustomed 
to seeing the United States make.  There is no longer much optimism 
that Bush's administration will accept the facts on the ground and 
stop creating chaos in every place where it sets a dirty foot. 
 
"We need no fortunetellers to foresee that the coming days are 
pregnant with everything that might prove fateful for the entire 
region." 
 
---------------------------------- 
 
"Bush Persists in His War on Iraq" 
 
---------------------------------- 
 
Ali Nasrallah, a commentator in government-owned 
Al-Thawra, wrote (7/1):  "The UN inspection commission on Iraq's 
weapons of mass destruction today closes down its offices without 
finding any of the alleged weapons that the United States and 
Britain used as a pretext to invade Iraq.... This coincides with 
President Bush's appointment of a new adviser for Iraq war affairs 
and his disgusting claim that the United States is still at war and 
that the military operation in Iraq is still at its beginning.... 
 
"It appears that Bush, who has asked the angry American people to 
give him more time to achieve victory and success, is determined to 
continue the course of failure and lies.... Bush does not seem to be 
one of those who feel ashamed of their acts and conduct, no matter 
how shameful and disgraceful they might be." 
 
---------------------- 
 
"Visit and Pessimism" 
 
---------------------- 
 
Maha Sultan, a political editor in government-owned Tishreen, wrote 
 
(7/1):  "US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's forthcoming visit 
to the region causes pessimism among Palestinians. 
 
"The United States, which is now talking about a modified American 
vision of peace between Palestinians and Israelis, paved the way for 
this new vision by creating conflicts and infighting among 
Palestinians.... Rice, in her previous visits to the region, did not 
actually come to find solutions or defuse tensions.  If she did, she 
would have forced Israel to stop its plan of canceling the 
Palestinian partner, including the party that is supported by 
Washington itself...." 
 
----------------------------------- 
 
"A Peace Envoy in Full Combat Gear" 
 
----------------------------------- 
 
Isam Dari, Chief Editor of government-owned Tishreen, wrote (6/30): 
"Tony Blair is appointed as a peace envoy in full combat gear and 
with hands stained with the blood of innocent people.... 
 
"We recall Blair's lies about Iraq and his position during the 
Lebanon war last summer.... Arabs in general, and Iraqis, 
Palestinians, and Lebanese in particular, suffered disasters and 
tragedies as a result of Blair's American-Israeli policy". 
 
--------------------------------------------- ---- 
 
"The International Quartet and Israeli Obstinacy" 
 
--------------------------------------------- ---- 
 
Ahmad Hamadah, a commentator in government-owned 
Al-Thawra, wrote (6/29):  "Israeli statements confirm that Israel 
will not withdraw from the West Bank and that there will be no peace 
negotiations with Palestinians.... 
 
"Israel's positions toward peace prove that peace will remain 
unattainable as long as Israel continues to engage in deception and 
maneuvers and to deny the rights of the Palestinian people.... 
Israel has destroyed the Roadmap, has continued to build the 
separation wall in the West Bank, and is committing the most 
appalling massacres against the Palestinian people every day.... 
 
"The International Quartet's proposals and ideas, therefore, will 
always fall on deaf Israeli ears...." 
 
---------------------------------- 
 
"Between Arrogance and Submission" 
 
---------------------------------- 
 
Dr. Haydar Haydar, a commentator in government-owned Al-Thawra, 
wrote (6/29):  "There are increasing US statements confessing that 
Washington has lost the war in Iraq and must pull its troops out of 
the country.... 
 
"Given this tragic picture, Americans have no choice but to withdraw 
from Iraq.... Arabs who wagered on the power of the United States 
have no option but to backtrack from their defeatist positions and 
join the convoy of the opposing Arabs across the Arab land.  If they 
do this, they will  save themselves and their peoples and even win 
the respect of their enemies.  If they do not, history will be very 
harsh on them."
