No Kidding

Wouldn't you know it, turns out that the suicide attack by the Syrian-based, Syrian-financed, and Syrian-controlled Islamic Jihad had something to do with Syria:

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice cited what she called "firm evidence" on Tuesday that the Islamic Jihad militant group helped plan last week's Tel Aviv suicide bombing from Syria. "There is firm evidence that Palestinian Islamic Jihad, sitting in Damascus, not only knew about the attacks, but was involved in the planning," Rice told ABC News in an interview, according to an excerpt provided by the U.S. television network.

And they say that an American PhD isn't what it used to be. At least it's better than the Moscow PhD that Abbas has:

Israel has also accused Syria of being behind the attack, but Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said Tuesday there was no evidence that was the case. "We have no indication and no information pointing towards the Syrians and we cannot have a judgement based on no evidence," Abbas told BBC radio in London.

Then again, Abbas's PhD was dedicated to denyin th Holocaust, so you can't expect that logic courses were exactly mandatory.
