Specter In Syria II December 29 2006
More on Senator Specter meeting with the Syrians.
If the Syrian press can be believed, Sen. Specter has essentially taken Syria’s side on every issue in the Middle East.
-US Republican Senator Arlen Specter stressed on Tuesday that President Bashar al-Assad is interested in achieving peace, stability and prosperity in the region, calling US Administration to hold a dialogue with Syria as to realize these purposes.
In a press conference held before his departure at Damascus Airport after a two-day visit to Syria, the Senator called the US Administration “to conduct a dialogue with Syria to solve the problems in the region,” emphasizing that nothing cannot be reached out without the dialogue with Syria.
He rejected US Administration’s refusing stance to hold a dialogue with Syria, describing the current US policy towards Syria as “not successful.”
Why do we have so many traitors–if the Syrian press is at all accurate–in elected office right now? Why do we have so many squishes in Washington eager to bow to the whims of Arab and Iranian dictators, while they do nothing but bash and smash the US and its allies in Israel, and often on the soil that the dictators themselves rule? What is it about this particular war that has brought out the absolute worst in nearly our entire political class?
I’ll answer the questions in order.
1) It’s the government we deserve.
2) It’s the government we deserve.
3) Bush has dropped the ball on the “big picture.” Santorum tried running with it, and no one listened. See answers 1 & 2.
