Kerry in Syria

Kerry Hopeful Strained U.S.-Syrian Ties Can Be Improved

<snip>

Sen. Kerry, D-Mass., met for two hours with President Bashar Assad, then with Foreign Minister Farouk al-Sharaa, with both meetings centering on Iraq and how to prevent militants from moving from Syria into neighboring Iraq.

"I leave here with a sense that we can improve our relationship. There are significant possibilities, particularly with the elections in Iraq and the elections in the West Bank ... This is the moment of opportunity for the Middle East, for the U.S. and for the world. I hope that we would seize that opportunity."

After Kerry left the Foreign Ministry on Saturday, 13-year-old Mustafa al-Nabulsi approached him with a drawing of the senator as a soldier in his Vietnam days.
"You have made me much more important than I was, though. You made me a general," Kerry said.
"I wish you were the president," al-Nabulsi said.
"Thank you very much. So do I," Kerry said.

North Bay Rocks:headbang:

San Francisco Rocks :headbang:

Crazy times, eh?

Atleast we live in a blue state and Boxer is our Senator... :)

that's so cute what the little kid said. tear tear.

I see no benefit to any of the parties that Kerry is waltzing around the Middle East--not even to himself. Why the hell isn't he home working on election law?

Undergod knows, this world needs some intelligent discourse from the US.
