Kerry said there were "still concerns" that need to be addressed. "But I came away confident that the president and foreign minister are interested in moving in the right direction, and I am hopeful they will," he said.

After all, Assad is such a trustworthy soul. The only thing that Assad and his ilk understand is a swift kick up the bracket.

A picture of this meeting:

Are senators allowed to perform individual foreign policy? I thought their role was simply to advise and consent.

Otherwise, if memory serves me right, that's sedition at best, treason at worst.

What's the excuse for not burning this loser this time (Nixon was a wuss)?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

"Yeah, 13 year old boys in Syria all have cell phones."

The ones using them to detonate their TNT belts, do!

[Mister Baredog]

.......John Kerry should traipse off with Ramsey Clarke to some remote beach in Tahiti. They can enjoy their retirement together without further embarrassing themselves.

Haven't you heard, Ramsey Clark has joined the Saddam defense team, seriesly?

Maybe sKerry will testify at the trial about all of the Bush "lies" about Saddam, the dear man.

[Poser]

I'll cut Kerry some slack. He lost. He conceeded. We already knew that the terrorists were afraid of Bush and would rather have had Kerry as US President.

From our point of view, what could be better than Assad telling Kerry he wished the Dems had won? It pretty much proves our point.

skerry gets to meet one world leader.Wrong side I think.

"Im sorry my brother. Im sorry. I tried. Your monetary gifts were very kind. Do not worry, i will subvert at every chance while stil senator. Praise allah!"

[Texas Eagle]

"Yes, Mr. Kerry. We have explosive vests in many sizes. We will find just the right fit for you and your guest. You said her name is Ms. Fonda, this is correct, yes?"

[Darkwolf377]

Were his first words in Syria "Did Jen-giss Kahhhn ever come through here?"

Another perfectly good photo-op ruined by forgetting to have Tom Harkin tag along.

[KJC1]

This scene was a set-up; I'd bet any amount on it.

I think it smells big-time too. Leave it to Kerry to squeeze in another "I was in Vietnam" moment during a visit to Syria.
P.S. Did you know Kerry was in Vietnam?

[March I up]

For a moment I wondered if this (article) were a hoax. The AP/JP link proves otherwise.

Based on the reported dialog, the buffoon (obvious to whom I refer) was diplomatically skewered!

Idiocy!!!

More reason to stop embarrassing himself by going to Tahiti.

I can think of a whole bunch of people I like to retire to Tahiti. Pay the bill just as long as they stay away from foreign policy.

What's wrong with this picture?

Why, it's a beautiful, ornate bar and table setup that looks like maybe a bartender, bottles and glasses have been removed before the photographer was let in.

I hear the Nicobar Islands are nice, let's send them there.

"My name is Osama Bin Laden, and I approved this message."

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

kerrys treachery and treason against America with the Vn commies is precisely why he is attractive to the current enemies.

It's just another photo-op for the Traitor on the Treason '05 tour.

[Grateful One]

Or maybe he said, " I have never felt so much at home ", as Strobe Talbot reportedly said in a trip to the Soviet Union.
