Kerry, senators, send wrong message to Syria

A number of U.S. senators, among them Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, are touring the Middle East, visiting foreign capitals, and hobnobbing with dictators and Democrats, all under the guise of fact-finding.
"Fact-finding" is one way to describe what Kerry and his fellow senators are doing in the Middle East. "Undermining U.S. credibility" is another.
Kerry, in a teleconference Friday from Amman, Jordan, was careful to insist he was not in the Middle East to contradict Bush administration policy in any way. But Congress does have its own interests in the region.
"The administration has their position, and it's not my job at this point - from here particularly - to make comments about their policy," Kerry said. "They have their position as the executive branch and we have our position as a separate, co-equal branch of government."
Kerry was in Egypt last week, Iraq over the weekend, and now continues on with Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., to Syria and a meeting with the dictator Bashar Assad.
Syria has been implicated in the assassination of democratically elected members of the Lebanese government who oppose its influence there. Syria is a supporter of the terrorist group Hezbollah, and is lending support to the Sunni faction in Iraq.

Co-equal but not the SAME role.

How about campaign donation finding? He is out there prostituting his seat - so to speak.
