Blair quells speculation on Syria

Tony Blair has insisted that there were no plans by Britain or the United States to invade Syria following the toppling of Saddam Hussein's Iraqi regime. However his attempts to quell speculation that Damascus was "next on the list" for coalition forces came as senior figures in the US administration were ratcheting up the pressure on the Syrians. US Secretary of State Colin Powell said the Syrians needed to "review their actions and their behaviour", while White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said that it was "well corroborated" that they had a chemical weapons programme.
