COULDN'T GET IN TO SEE SADDAM, HUH?:
Kerry meets Assad in Damascus (Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST, Jan. 8, 2005)
US Senator John Kerry said Saturday after talks with Syrian President Bashar Assad he is hopeful that strained US-Syrian relations can be improved. Assad in return assured Kerry he is interested in dialogue with Washington.The former Democratic presidential candidate, who arrived in Damascus Friday, met for two hours with Assad before meeting separately with Foreign Minister Farouk a-Sharaa.
The talks centered on the situation in Iraq and how to prevent militants from entering Iraq through Syria.
"I think we found a great deal of areas of mutual interest, some common concerns and some possibilities for initiatives that could be taken in the future to strengthening relationship between the US and Syria," Kerry told reporters after meeting with a-Sharaa.
But for some rigged voting machines in OH this tyrannophile might be our president. Posted by Orrin Judd at January 8, 2005 6:17 PM
Kerry lost fair and square.
He is now returning to form and sucking up to Assad like he did Ortega. Somehow, Catholics in Massachusetts don't understand that Kerry is embracing a guy who along with his father murdered thousands of Catholics in Lebanon, and chased hundreds of thousands out.
BTW, I often hear the claim that Baby Assad is an opthamologist or studied opthamology. Just because you like to take out people's eyeballs doesn't make you an eye doctor.
