Iran vows to back Syria against U.S.

And so it begins:

Iran has vowed to back Syria against “challenges and threats” as both countries face strong US pressure.

“We are ready to help Syria on all grounds to confront threats,” Iranian Vice-President Mohammad Reza Aref said after meeting Syrian PM Naji al-Otari. BBC

This development comes a day after the U.S. recalled their Ambassador to Syria and all but accused Syria for the bombing in Lebanon that killed former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

This is bound to come up in next week’s Conference on Security Policy in Munich, Germany. Bush is scheduled to attend, how many more “freedom” and “liberty” riddled speeches will it take before Iran and Syria are taken out?
