US awaits 'change of behaviour' from Syria

'change of behaviour' means "regime overthrown."

"What we're interested in seeing is change of behavior in Syria," US State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters here.
The spokesman was quizzed after the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported US officials have held talks with Israeli counterparts about the prospect of a regime change in Damascus and possible successors to President Bashar al-Assad.
Israeli government sources quoted by the Haaretz daily said senior American officials had expressed interest in Israel's assessment of possible successors to Assad, asking them who they believed could maintain regional stability.
Asked about the reported contacts with Israel on Syria, McCormack replied:"No, I can't confirm any such discussions. Again, I have no information that there were any such discussions."

It is one thing for Pat Robertson to talk about "taking out" a leader. But for legitimate (?) government officials to do it sounds like terrorism - doesn't it? I hope some nation doesn't attack us because of our threats and WMDes.
