Syria's Clenched Fist

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Obama does not care if people care or not - he just wants to give goodies to terrorists so they can be better armed for their war on the West. Why is he so determined to spend so much money, so quickly? Is this the best way to ruin America?

Syria is building a new chemical weapons factory next to a long-range missile base, hiding evidence of its mushrooming nuclear weapons program and radically increasing military spending on conventional systems. These activities which are primarily funded by Iran suggest Damascus is preparing for war and not -- in President Obama's unhappy terminology -- unclenching its fist.

President Obama promised "If countries like Iran are willing to unclench their fist, they will find an extended hand from us." Why then has the president "extended" his hand when Damascus is obviously on the war path?

Last month, Obama sent a congressional delegation headed by Senator John Kerry (D-Ma) to meet with Syrian President Bashar Assad. After that meeting Kerry said there are possibilities for "real cooperation" with Syria but in return Syria must "change its behavior." Then last week Obama's State Department hosted talks with Syria's ambassador hoping to "advance U.S. interests" but immediately President Obama authorized the Commerce Department to approve the export of U.S. components for Syria's fleet of aging Boeing 747 aircraft.

About Me

Belisarius

This is my place to vent a little and get things off my chest. I am a retired Marine who has interests in WMDs. Since WMD events are, thankfully, few in number, I spend a lot of time reading about people likely to use them. This takes me on some interesting tangents. I travel alot in my post retirement career and do not always have time to comment as I post articles. Give me a day or two to catch up if I skip comments, please.
