The Administration's Syria strategy, says a U.S. official, is to get "the international community to speak with one voice," perhaps via U.N. Security Council sanctions if a U.N. investigation implicates Assad's regime in Hariri's murder.

At the same time, there was a new transitional Iraqi government, led by Iyad Allawi. Negroponte set up a joint military-diplomatic team to review the situation in the country.
