Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Thousands of Syrians Protest Against US Pressures
2005-11-25
Thousands of Syrians gathered at Umayyad Square in Damascus Thursday to express solidarity with their mother country Syria under the current pressures she has been exposed to. US former senator David Duke, who participated in the protest, expressed total solidarity with Syria saying, "Israel is the state of terror not Syria".
Ummm... Duke was never a U.S. senator. I believe he was once a Louisianna state representative, and he ran for U.S. Senate and was soundly trounced.
The ex-senator added that the Zionism dominates the US administration as well as occupies some US medias in a step to mislead the US people, chanting "no war for Israel".
Duke currently spends his time in Russia and Ukraine, after pleading guilty to tax and mail fraud charges in the U.S.
Syrian parliamentarian Muhie al-Din Habboush underlined in a statement delivered among a great applause of audience that the whole world knows that assassinating Lebanese ex- Premiere Rafik al-Hariri means assassinating Syria noting, " we want the truth but not at the expense of our people’s dignity".
Break out the old dignity meter...
Damascus Chamber of Commerce also called for participating in the protest, which included many businessmen, parliamentarians and industrialists. Participants were wearing Syrian flags as scarf, chanting slogans "God, Syria and Bashar" and holding photos of President Bashar al-Assad as well as Syrian flags. Sit-in and Protests are going on all over Syria as long as the US pressures are exerted on Syria.
Right. No skin off our collective fore...

#12  .com,

If by Area 51 you mean areas around Highway 51 in Memphis, then you got me pegged. You can find me picking up aluminum cans in my old chevy truck off of Highway 51 if you watch real close.

Otherwise Vegas has gone too corporate for an old Memphis Mafia boy like me, we've still got good old fashioned Mafia controlled gaming on the River near my momma's house down in Tunica Mississippi and they hand out comps to the King like there's no tommorrow!

#11  I've been meaning to ask ya, EP - coming back to Vegas anytime soon - or are ya really happy living up there in Area 51?

Not that it's all that far away, it's not, but the, um, er, lifestyle options are rather different. :-)

#9  Fred you are one of millions among my faithful.

As on the Haaj they will all gaze upon the glory of the shag of enlightenment in the Jungle room of the holy temple of Graceland.

As to the dome of the rock and the mount of Olives the Muslim and Christian faithful gather, so shall ye all gather toward Sun Studios on Union and upon my blue suede shoes you may gaze.

Here is a link for all ye faithful to follow to explore your faith in the King.

Thank ya, thank ya very much.

#8  "Duke ran for Governor and was defeated by Edwards."

Giving us perhaps the greatest political bumper sticker slogan of all time:

"Vote for the crook, it's important"

#4  I did some more looking. It turns out Duke does have a Ph d. It is from a Ukraining institute know for anti semitism and his dissertation was basically one of them.

#3  I believe he was once a Louisianna state representative

That's like being the doorman in a house of ill repute.

#2  Duke ran for Governor and was defeated by Edwards. He never won a primary for Senate.

His website, which has evidence of substantial funding, claims he has a Ph d.

He takes an anti immigrant stance in regard to the muslims in Sweden, France, etc. However, it seems he is willing to cross dress if it gets him a gig in Syria and get to be an ex-Senator.

#1  Everybody on the payroll showed up, eh? Hmmm, target-rich. Perhaps the day approaches when that will be possible, and you just know they'd show up to march around - they can't help themselves. Has anyone identified this in the genome?
