FEBRUARY 25, 2008 : (SYRIA : PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES : OBAMA & CLINTON ADVISORS ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI & HASSAN NEMAZEE {See IRAN} ARE IN SYRIA --See DENIAL, DENIAL, DENIAL, CFR, IAPAC, ROGUE DIPLOMACY) What in the world are advisers to both Senators Obama and Clinton doing in Syria in the middle of a presidential campaign — and why are the two campaigns so unforthcoming about the details of the visits?
The same week that a terrorist mastermind harbored by the Baathist regime in Damascus was assassinated by a car bomb, both one of Mr. Obama’s foreign policy counselors, Zbigniew Brzezinski, a long-time critic of Israel, and one of Mrs. Clinton’s national finance chairs, Hassan Nemazee [after June 2008 a massive donor to Obama], were meeting with President Assad.
...the Obama campaign... [when asked] what it had to say about its adviser’s doings in Syria... said it was the first they had heard about it. Mr. Nemazee’s office would not say anything about the trip, nor would Mrs. Clinton’s campaign.

...So is he just a zealous Democratic Party supporter with deep pockets?
Not quite. This may be the part Goodman [Amy Goodman of the Marxist Democracy Now! network] was reluctant to talk about. Nemazee, you see, has a dark secret: he’s a terrorist sympathizer.
Nemazee is a Board of Trustees member with the Asia Society, an organization sympathetic to the oppressive, terrorism-sponsoring Islamic fundamentalist regime of Iran. The Asia Society has gone on record as “recommending that the United States declare an end to President Bush’s ‘war on terror’ and negotiate with Taliban members willing to separate from Al Qaeda.”
He was a past board member of the American-Iranian Council, a U.S. lobbying group that has consistently supported lifting U.S. sanctions on Iran and accommodating the Tehran regime.
He is also a founding board member of the Iranian American Political Action Committee [IAPAC], which seeks to create friendly and lucrative business relationships with the Iranian theocracy ruling that country.
Nemazee, whose bail has been set at $25 million (secured by his $20 million New York City Apartment), faces a maximum prison term of 30 years.
Now that the Democrats–who have been the major recipients of Nemazee’s largesse–are running the show, it should be interesting to watch this saga play out.
