Joe Lieberman in the WSJ this morning praises the success of the surge, giving kudos to General Patraeus.  Yet at the same time he points out that all of this will be for naught if the in-roads for Al Qaeda through Syria are not dealt with.

I agree with Lieberman that it’s long past the time that we dealt with pressuring Syria to stop harboring and aiding terrorists.¬† President Bush long ago said that we would deal with any country who does so and while we are now beginning to address Iran through a reclassification of the the Revolutionary Guard, we should also show Syria that we will not tolerate their complicity any longer.
