Well, now we know that Syria and Iraq both had a heads up in plenty of time to move any incriminating WMD right across the border into Syria, courtesy of Baby Assad.
He [Rocket J.] said he feels content after talking to President Bashar al-Assad
This contented feeling Rocky experienced, given the additional context of his 11/13/05 FNS remarks, can only mean he felt he needed to tell Bashar this bit of news about President Bush having made the determination by 9/13/01 to invade Iraq . Having broken the news, Rocky left contented President Assad heard what he needed to know.
If there was no substantiating evidence to the claim, one could reasonably understand that the Dim's (or dims') plan was to cloak the asserted "fact" with the greatest sense of gravitas they could muster.
On FNS, Ol' Rocky was pointed in his having done this alone, yet there is mention in the contemporaneous news articles of his being accompanied by a delegation. What's up with that? Did he pull Bashar aside so his comments wouldn't be overheard by anyone else in his own delegation?
