It doesn’t make sense to me that a Republican would join this “team Obama” Syrian love-fest. Is Poe a RINO?
Great. Another sign that this administration is a weak horse. We’re in very great danger.

“Syria Seeks Stronger Ties With U.S.”
Posted by George Baghdadi
SNIPPET: “The American delegation, they said, “underlined Syria’s important role in the region and expressed the new U.S. administration’s desire to develop Syrian-American relations to serve stability in the Middle East.”
Smith, who has served for 12 years in the House, is accompanied by six other representatives: Susan Davis (D-Calif.), Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), Frank Kratovil (D-Md.), Glenn Nye (D-Va.), Ted Poe (R-Texas), and C.A. “Dutch” Ruppersberger (D-Md). “
SNIPPET: “However, with the beginning of the Obama administration, Assad has shown cautious optimism regarding U.S.-Syrian relations, telling Al-Manar television (which is operated by the Lebanon-based Hezbollah militant group) that a “serious” joint dialogue has already been initiated.”
Salaam Aleikum.....

The regime in Syria has NO redeeming features. It’s right at the center of the whole mess.
I don’t know who the hell this guy Poe is, but the leadership had better clue him in. He was mentioned in another story earlier, partnering with a California moonbat on some crazy bill.
Another tax payer vacation, what does these junkets prove... I have never read the end results of any of them..

“Cyprus: Iran ship violated UN resolutions
Senior Cypriot source says United Nations should decide what to do with Iranian cargo”

SNIPPET: “A ship detained by Cyprus appears to be carrying banned weapon-related material from Iran prohibited under United Nations resolutions, a senior Cypriot source said on Saturday.
The source said that was the advice Cyprus received from a United Nations panel monitoring compliance of sanctions. The Mediterranean island had sought guidance from the body earlier in the week after submitting a list of findings from the vessel, detained in Cyprus from Jan. 29.
“They are saying that on the basis of evidence provided the shipment is a violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions,” the source, who requested anonymity, said.
The Cyprus-flagged “Monchegorsk” had been sailing from Iran to Syria when it was called in by Cyprus for checks.
The United States, which earlier boarded the ship in the Red Sea, said its navy found weapons on board which it could not confiscate for legal reasons.”
