I Don't Believe Them
From the NYTimes,
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) -- U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Friday that Syria would step up border patrols and work with the Lebanese army to stop the flow of weapons to Hezbollah.
And, of course, Kofi Annan expects everyone to accept this announcement. Furthermore, the NYTimes piece raises no questions and no doubts about the agreement, and it contains no skeptical quotes from anyone.

Typical.
