#2 Explain to me why, exactly, we still have an ambassador in Syria?

#3 Funny how he isn't touring Bahrain?

I guess its a tad embarrassing that our "friends" are currently issuing long sentences to medics who treated democracy protesters who'd had their heads caved in by the Bahraini and Saudi stormtroopers.

So much better to talk about freedom in Syria, than to celebrate the crushing of it by our pals in Bahrain.

#4 Goes back to the Iranian Protesters with this administration. I found it suprising there was even the consideration of a sternly worded letter, with the victory laps of Libya and all.
