The Obama team has lifted a ban on the sale of some high-tech equipment to Syria. A recognized state sponsor of terrorism. WSJ reports:
"The Obama administration has told Syria that it will work to ease U.S. sanctions against Damascus, as Washington intensifies its pursuit of détente with a longtime Middle East rival."
[As Obama intensifies his efforts to legitimize a dictatorial state sponsor of terrorism, having just recently decided to return a U.S. ambassador]
"The U.S. decision targets spare aircraft parts, information-technology products and telecommunications equipment, sales of which have been restricted by U.S. sanctions on Syria enacted in 2004. The step was conveyed Sunday by Washington's special Mideast envoy, George Mitchell, to Syrian President Bashar Assad during an hour-long meeting in Damascus."
"The move represents the latest action in a rapidly accelerating reaproachement between Washington and Damascus initiated after President Barack Obama took office this year, said officials from both countries."

appeasement to Syria is a death wish... obamanation is exactly that for the US people. A stinking lover of communicism trying to take down the only free country remaining in the world.
WTF is this nitwit doing?

sheesh...
Back door destruction of Israel.
That’s his plan and he’s going to get there by any means necessary.
Or is it a part of our Dear Leader's Great Plan to gift these things to the Muslim world as part of a tithe to show them we really love them, and soon bring them into NATO after Russia?
Next on the list, shall we discuss the part of Dear Leader's plan to bring forced conversion to Islam to the US in the name of whirled peas?
The blows to our security keep on coming. Always making it clear that America’s well being is not high on dear loser, er leader’s list.
His so called intelligent diplomacy has engendered nothing but ridicule from the other world leaders.
sickening to say the least
