The White House has announced the appointment of a new ambassador to Syria -- a controversial move by U.S. President Barack Obama, who used his Constitutional muscle on Wednesday to name the envoy while the Senate was not in session.
The previous ambassador to Syria was withdrawn by former President George W. Bush in 2005 in response to the assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, as well as its support for Saddah Hussein-sympathizers and terrorism in general. There were strong indications at the time that Syria was behind Hariri's murder, although Damascus denied involvement in the truck bombing.
The Obama administration has contended since taking office that re-establishing diplomatic relations would be the best way to convince Syria – listed by the State Department as a “state sponsor of terrorism” – to change its policies towards Israel and the rest of the Middle East.

Barack Obama is pro-Islamist. Of course he seeks to re-establish diplomatic relations. Meanwhile he p*sses on the shoes of our allies.
The List, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off this ping list
Robert Ford? Didn’t he shoot Jesse James?
Syria is a major destabilizer of the Middle-East. Without it’s support for Hezballah, Hamas, and Al Fatah, there might actually be a chance for peace between Israel and the Arabs on the West Bank and Gaza.
Syria has been a strong supporter of anti-Americanism. It is undeniably a terrorist state.
So what does Lord of the Skid-mark do? He grants them an elevated station in life, a return to personal relations and a new Ambassador from the United States.
Lord Skid-mark trashes Israel and rewards it’s and our enemies. It couldn’t be more clear that this nut is either a sworn enemy of our nation, or dumber than a stone.
The little coward!
“But that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
Has laid Jesse James in his grave”
He better hope Frank James doesn’t find him...
Seems obammy is trying to dookie all over Israel.
And American Jews will still vote for him
