Sec. of State Kerry, left and Mouaz al-Khatib, Syrian opposition leader |
From Denny: Today, newly minted Sec. of State Kerry met with the one man the West hopes can create a way to end the civil war mess in Syria where President Assad has massacred countless thousands of his own people.
Far too many are children Assad chose to torture and then kill, throwing their bodies out like garbage for their parents to see. Of course, this idiot actually thought those heinous acts would intimidate the people, instilling fear for their leader, when all it did was convince them to fight harder to topple him.
Meanwhile, the West, especially America, has been desperately seeking one man who can unite all the various disorganized and disparate factions who are fighting their own tyrannical government. Today's situation must be a lot like it was when Americans were fighting the British in the early years of the American Revolution when the other European countries were unsure with whom to talk and if it was wise to arm them.
Now, enter on to the world stage this Sunni Muslim geophysics engineer and Islamic preacher who supposedly professes equality for women, political plurality and does not want foreign military intervention. He sure talks a good game. Anyone remember Ahmed Chalabi from Iraq? While this man, Mouaz al-Khatib may not be as oily or as greedy as VP Cheney's Chalabi, can we really trust him?
The perfect mug to describe the Middle East political mess:
Does your kitty love treats? Does your kitty transform into Monster Cat when the treat bag comes out? This is your mug! "THIS is your CAT high on treats"
