| WTF? Hussein & Clinton Advisors Meet With Syrian President Assad |
| 2008-02-16 |
| What in the world are advisers to both Senators Obama and Clinton doing in Syria in the middle of a presidential campaign — and why are the two campaigns so unforthcoming about the details of the visits? The same week that a terrorist mastermind harbored by the Baathist regime in Damascus was assassinated by a car bomb, both one of Mr. Obama’s foreign policy counselors, Zbigniew Brzezinski, a long-time critic of Israel, and one of Mrs. Clinton’s national finance chairs, Hassan Nemazee, were meeting with President Assad. |

| #10 Zbiggy Brzezinski and Obama? Great. I remember all to well those Golden Days of the late '70's. God help us all. |

| #7 Hoping to pull a Reagan with some last minute foreign policy coup. I'm not sure what they could hope to get from Syria though. |

| #2 Maybe Assad is one of those Super-delegates. A different article stated and showed a picture, the day after they met with Assad, the Iranian Foreign Minister met with him. You gotta wonder about the overlap time -- and what might have happened during that overlap. |

| #1 Maybe Assad is a registered Democrat. |
