US embassy cable - 04DUBLIN1156

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1.  (S)Emboff, drawing on reftel points, on August 3 spoke to 
Brendan Ward, Deputy Director of the Middle East Section at 
DFA.  Ward stated that the GOI fully supports efforts to help 
restore stability in Iraq and believes Syria must honor 
pledges it made July 21 in Cairo.  However, Ward also 
stressed that there was a joint responsibility to keep the 
border secure and expressed hope that, despite their 
differences, Syrian and the Iraqi Interim Government were 
working together.  While there is no Irish Embassy in Syria, 
Ward promised the GOI would urge Syria to cooperate whenever 
an opportunity was available.
