Online CBC TV Debate on Syria, Radio Encounter with Pipes
April 23, 2003
Before the shooting has even stopped in Iraq, the United States
seems to be setting its sights on Syria. The Bush Administration has
accused Syria of harboring terrorists and possessing weapons of mass
destruction, and recently cut off its oil supply. What is driving
the US’s threatening new posture toward Syria? Could Syria’s
decades-long standoff with Israel boil over? Join us as we debate
the place of Syria in George Bush’s brave new vision of the Middle
East.

Ibish also had a recent encounter with Daniel Pipes regarding his
nomination to the US Institute for Peace on Pacifica Radio’
Democracy Now program. An edited version of the exchange,(the
unedited live version broadcast two weeks ago was even more
delightful), which also included Ibrahim Hooper of CAIR, can be
heard online at:
