Powell Arrives in Syria for Talks on Iraq
Friday, May 02, 2003
DAMASCUS, Syria — Accusing Syria of past deception about its Iraqi oil pipeline, Secretary of State Colin Powell (search) said Friday that future relations hinge on whether Damascus takes sincere action toward becoming a Middle East peace partner.
Powell arrived in the Syrian capital Friday evening for tough talks with President Bashar Assad and Foreign Minister Farouk al-Sharaa about the implications for Syria (search) in the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime and the emergence of a U.S.-backed road map toward peace between Israel and Palestinians.
Al-Shaara greeted Powell at the airport and accompanied him to his hotel; Assad (search) and Powell are to meet Saturday.
As his plane coursed toward Damascus, Powell told reporters that he doesn't expect immediate results from these sessions, but will study closely the actions of Assad's government in the weeks and months that follow.
"The real test of the discussion will come not tomorrow or the next day but in the days ahead, after they've had a chance to reflect and we've had a chance to reflect," Powell said.
He said he intends to bring up a rack of U.S. allegations that Syria supports terrorism, that it sent technology and fighters to Iraq and gave haven to Iraqi officials as Saddam's rule dissolved. He also planned to call attention to the offices kept in Syria by several Palestinian factions, including the militant Islamic Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which the Bush administration has classified as terrorist organizations.
The Syrians have denied that the Damascus offices are used for planning attacks against Israel. But Powell will expect the Syrians to make clear to the groups that if they cross the line, they will be expelled.
Powell said he hasn't forgotten assurances Assad gave him two years ago that oil from Iraq was not flowing through a pipeline to Syria. Those assurances proved false, and that open pipeline gave Iraq extra revenue, and Syria oil at below-market rates — all of which flouted a U.N. program that allowed Iraq to sell oil as long as the proceeds went to help the Iraqi people.
"I will always have that lying in my background software and on my hard drive," Powell said..........
