Syria has been a terrorist state since the 70s. Kruschev started pumping them full of weapons in the late 50s. Much more recently, when Imad Mugniyeh , the guy responsible for blowing more than 200 US Marines and 58 other nationals to Kingdom Come in barracks bombings in the 80s, for abducting, torturing and finally executing our CIA station chief Buckley and a fine Marine officer Higgens and leaving their mutilated bodies for us to find in roadside ditches,... for bombing a US Embassy in 1984 and killing more than 60 people, for the hijacking of a TWA airliner where the terrorists on board first tortured, then murdered, US Navy diver Robert Stetham in 1985... for providing al Qaeda with the expertise to blow a hole in the side of the USS Cole in 2000,... for bringing Hezbollah the mother of all terrorist groups to our hemisphere where they bombed a Jewish center in Argentina in the 90s and set up cells with the drug cartels in Mexico in the past decade along with establishing cells in the US, and who with his offspring spent the early part of this century up to his death killing American and coalition troops in Iraq alongside Mr. Sadr ... just recently bought the farm in a spectacular shower of car parts and smoking debris. He had not long before been chatting in his host country with the highest military and intelligence officials of his host country and Iran when his vehicle was blown to smithereens.

Now, I don't know what his meetings with these men was about, but since the ladies guild of the local church was not invited to attend I would strongly suggest it was NOT about helping Christians or picking flower arrangements. Maybe it was about an assassination in Lebanon such as the assassination of Lebanese politician Rafik Hariri. Maybe it was about killing more coalition troops in Iraq and hanging their corpses upside down on bridges- a reasonable assumption given that one of his pals was the head of Iran's al-Quds force. Of course one of the other guys he met with was General Suleiman who was also in charge of the host country's nuclear program, and if I'm not mistaken was also the General who was taking oil voucher bribes from the late Saddam Hussein. Obama hadn't been elected yet and the Arab Spring was still in the future, so we know it wasn't about Obama's middle east policy or the welfare of refugees.

Guess which country it was where Mugniyeh, armed and finnced by Iran, among others, had been considered such a venerable and valuable asset that he, a terrorist, would be strolling around drinking beers with Syrian and Iranian top brass and the folks in charge of a country' nuclear program? Guess which country he lived in, in a luxurious neighborhood also home to the elite of the ruling regime? The country in question is none other than Syria. Imad Mugniyeh was killed on February 12, 2008 in Damascus. One of his sons, also known for keeping company with Iranian brass, bought the farm with one of his Iranian pals just recently.
