US Defence Secretary: no attack on Syria

Robert Gates, US Defence Secretary says Bush's speech "I believe refers strictly to operations inside the territory inside Iraq -- not crossing the border."

General Peter Pace, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff agreed: "from a military standpoint, no need to cross the Iranian border," he said.

"We can track down, and are tracking down, have added resources to going after the networks in Iraq regardless of where they are coming providing tools to kill our troops."
