If this is not a threat, I don't know what is:
One Syrian official issued a strong warning against a proposal that was gaining momentum on Sunday for an international force to guard the Lebanon-Israel border. Deploying such a force without the cooperation of Syrian and Hezbollah, the official said, will risk repeating 1983. That was a pointed reference to the 241 United States service members and 58 French soldiers killed in attacks on military installations by suicide bombers. It has long been considered likely that Hezbollah sent the bombers with Syria’s blessing.
What rubbish. That is a pointed piece of creative Syria baiting on the writer's part. More likely he referred to the ridiculous situation that US troops found themselves in and the untenable mission that they were supposed to carry out without the agreement of all the belligerents. They came under fire from the Israelis, but never Syrians.
