PR Newswire:
In a meeting today with Dennis Kucinich, US Democratic Presidential candidate, Syrian President Bashar Assad said that Syria would be willing to participate in a multinational conference and peacekeeping force to help Iraq to manage its transition from occupied country to sovereign nation.Beautiful!
Assad made these assurances and other observations in a two-hour meeting with Kucinich, who traveled to Syria to discuss a peace initiative which has arisen out of his anti-war work in the House of Representatives. President Assad agreed with Kucinich that various US demands for the privatization of Iraq's oil and partition of Iraq would mean a continuation of war.
"We must stand for strength through peace, for a sovereign and unified Iraq. President Assad is willing for Syria to play a significant role in assisting in the stabilization of Iraq," said Kucinich. "President Assad knows that an international peace keeping and security force must be organized and ready to deploy in order to facilitate the end of the occupation. He understands that the US cannot leave a vacuum in Iraq, but that at the present time the US occupation is fueling the insurgency. He is recommending a parallel political process involving an Iraqi national conference, the disarming of militias, and the building up of an Iraqi army which would eventually takeover from international peace keepers."
You have to hand it to Kucinich. Where the other democratic candidates just talk about propping up evil regimes- He goes out and makes it happen!
Update: J-Post is now carrying this news on the regime visit.

What really irks the Lebanese is when idiots play politics with our lives, without any one of use having any say in this.
ReplyDeleteThen again, when it comes to foreign policy, Pelosi, Kucinich... are not even idiots. Unfortunately for us, there is not way to sue for reparations when we end up on the short end of their policies. One would think 9/11 has taught American politicos the value of thinking and long term planning... But no dice, apparently.
Our best hope remains Bashar el Assad; he will find a way to overreach, again. But it will be too late for the next Lebanese congressperson...
