TEL AVIV – The U.S. will seek sanctions waivers to export aircraft and other equipment to Syria, U.S. officials confirmed today.
Syria is in an open military alliance with Iran. It hosts the chiefs of several major Palestinian terrorist organizations. The country is accused of aiding the insurgency against U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Yesterday, Imad Mustafa, the Syrian envoy to the U.S., said the Obama administration had lifted a ban imposed in 2004 on exporting goods to the Syrian Aviation Industry. He said the message was delivered to Syrian President Bashar Assad by George Mitchell, Obama's envoy to the Middle East.
Today, State Department spokesman Ian Kelly confirmed Sen. Mitchell "told President Assad that the U.S. would process all eligible applications for export licenses as quickly as possible."
Kelly cited, in particular, "requests to export products related to information technology and telecommunication equipment and parts and components related to the safety of civil aviation."
White House spokesman Tommy Vietor also affirmed Mitchell informed Assad the U.S. government would "process all eligible applications for export licenses to Syria as quickly as possible."

They don’t want to appear insensitive or anything. Esp. Lindsey Graham.
How to start a war.
We are going to export to Syria but not Israel? You are correct this administration is sick and twisted. ZERO is showing more and more his true colors as a socialist leader not the leader of the free world.
Senator Inhofe and others whose comments don’t get past the censors of the Congress.
Unbelievable. Then again...par for the course.
ZERO is showing more and more his true colors as a socialist leader not the leader of the free world.

Well, he is not a leader, to begin with. He is a dictator. And the last thing he is interesting in, is the free world. Just look at this factual record of pandering to the despots, dictators and communists of the world. Then compare that, to what he is doing TO this country. And the leaders of the free world have made it real clear what they think of him and his policies. To say nothing of leaders of Communist China and Russia.....
Nice - always wanted to make models but never really got into it ... my dream is to build a model P-51D like my grandad flew in Korea .... saw one with a 36” wingspan, fully radio controlled ... but ... I get to fly real ones so ....
No, they are weak and spineless. Maybe they even agree. Who knows anymore?
0bama has to pay back all those campaign contributions.
Of course...don’t you know his background?
