Maybe He Thinks Assad Is Madame Binh
John Kerry, the loser of the 2004 Presidential Election, hung out with the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad yesterday:
DAMASCUS, Syria - Sens. John Kerry and Christopher Dodd met with Syrian President Bashar Assad on Wednesday and discussed the need for Damascus to cooperate with efforts to maintain the unity and stability of war-ravaged Iraq, state media reported.
The U.S. Embassy in Damascus said the meeting, which lasted two and a half hours, covered “a full-range of topics relating to U.S.-Syrian relations and regional issues.”
“I feel quite confident in saying this was a conversation worth having and that the (Bush) administration ought to pursue it,” Kerry said in a telephone interview with the Associated Press from Jerusalem where he traveled after the meeting with Assad. “I feel very strongly about that…It’s worth following up on a number of avenues.”
Why does John Kerry insist on visiting our enemies during wartime? Does anybody, besides the ignorant pricks on the anti-war Left, doubt that Syria —and to an even larger extent, Iran— are materially contributing not only to the violence being committed against our troops and friends in Iraq, but to the instability in Lebanon? Then why is this stupid bastard engaging Assad?
The only engagement I want to see in Syria is when our daisy-cutters “get in touch with” Assad’s front door.
