Syria's state news agency hustled out an announcement on Tuesday, Feb. 10, saying that the "U.S. Trade Department agrees to provide spare parts for rehabilitating Syrian Airlines..."

... The planes will be overhauled by a Saudi-based Boeing-Saudi joint venture, Alsalam Aircraft Co...

"How quickly we forget."

I am not at all sure that Obama has forgotten at all. We can all speculate what he is up to here, but most options are nefarious.

Not long ago I read a small news item stating that Chavez (Venezuela) was using his countries commercial airline flights in the M.E. a means of transporting missiles, terrorists, etc from Iran into Syria

With this bit of new “news” perhaps Syria can resume their own weapons transport and thus free up the Chavez flights for “bigger and better” things? //sac. OFF

Any business that trades with Syria needs to be driven to bankruptcy. I dont care how many people it puts out of work.

I expect that all four of the final entries on the State Department list of state sponsors of terrorism will soon be deleted: Cuba, Iran, Syria, and Sudan.

Their work is on too small a scale to be of concern in the current crisis. I agree with deleting them from the list. One threat to our way of life is a greater danger than all others combined - and that's our own government. I see no point in worrying about some illiterate moron in the third world who wants to die for Allah and doesn't care whether he takes down one westerner or a hundred with him, not when Obama and Pelosi have the power and the desire to take down the entire country.

More “change you can believe” that will screw up the entire world for generations to come.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

We’re probably still training their pilots. After all, they lost a few a while back.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Tax problems?

[mtbuckner1956]

yeah - he’s paid them.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

- he’s paid them.

Then, he's giving the rest of them a bad name.

BO needs to be removed ASAP!

BTW, Orly was in Nashville at the NRB Convention. She met with several State and Federal Government Officials including the FBI and US Attorneys.

At the Proclaiming Justice Dinner she met with many more Leaders from across the Nation, including the Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court.

But IMHO the highlight of her visit was the 2/10/09 interview with Matthew Hill.

[concerned about politics]

Oboma is doing everything in his power to protect his Muslim brothers.

[gondramB]

>>Easing sanctions on Syria to aid the Saudi economy. Niiice. <<

I wonder how they figure that? So Syria can take up some of the slack on terrorist funding?

[gondramB]

You know... I wonder if this has anything to why Gregg withdrew as commerce secretary.

[kcvl]

the lunatics have escaped the asylums and are sitting in the President and cabinets seats!

Absolutely!

[John W]

Thats first thing I thought. This episode is an example of why this business of cabinet secretaries supposedly running their departments is and always has been pure BS.

[philly-d-kidder]

Yeah and they Killed some north Korean advisres... then they caught a NK ship with stuff for syria.... it was quite embarrassing for syris... they din’t respond for 2 weeks... what could they say?

[SunkenCiv]

It's okay. We plan to repair their airliners, then hijack 'em and fly them into Syrian skyscrapers.

[manc]

yet another indication to us that obama, Soros and Ayers got inside and are out to ruin this country.

In 3 weeks it has been amazing to see what this idiot has done and yet the media like CNN don’t even touch half of what is going on.

There is no way anyone can say he is a friend of this country after what has happened with him in this short time.
He is the enemy and I just hope the feds, CIA, NSA are tracking him to arrest him on treason

[manc]

OK, every single day Hussein is doing the EXACT opposite of what he SHOULD be doing. There are 3 possibilities: 1) Hussein is actually stupid enough to believe this will change Syria’s bloodlust for Jews; 2) Hussein thinks this will make the head-choppers like us, or 3) He is working with the enemy to take the country down.

I think 3, there is no way he or anyone else is this stupid for 1 or 2.

There is no other possibility to try and make logic of any of what he has done thus far.
The economy
Terrorism
homosexuals
putting us i debt for generations
foreign policy
his first address is to Arab TV and muslims
His first phone call not to our best Allies like Great Britain who has lost their men and women helping us but to a Palestinian
His aide to Hamas

I wish someone in the media would list everything he has done and let people actually see what the hell he is doing to us.
We have to get the message out
