Syria threatened Hariri...

Two regimes right now, Iran and Syria, are openly showing how dangerous they are...when is the world going to act?

Embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad was dealt more bad news Friday night after former Syrian Vice President Abed al-Halim Khadem said that Assad "could have prevented the murder of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri."

Khadem also acknowledged that Hariri was threatened by Syria months before he was assassinated.

He quoted the Syrian president as telling Hariri, months before he was killed: "You want to bring a (new) president in Lebanon. ... I will not allow that. I will crush whoever attempts to overturn our decision."

After the warning from Assad, Hariri left with "high blood pressure and his nose bleeding," Khadem said.
