Finally this muslim loving jew hating administration is doing something right and not just bowing down to arab will. Now just stop pushing Israel to doing a deal that is against its best interests because Syria is no threat to Israel, the Golan has been Israels most peaceful border for over 30 years so if it aint broke don't fix it certainly if the only reason your trying to fix it is for a nobel prize The Golan is more useful to Israel than a Nobel prize for Bibi and a chance for Obama a chance to give a depressing speech on the White House lawn about how wonderful it its that Israel has given into arab demands again and hurt its own interests. MAY THESE SANCTIONS LAST A VERY VERY LONG TIME.
6. Its called political smoke screen..dont be impressed
Al   (05.08.09)
His ticket is to throttle Israel..its all show before Netanyahu's visit wherein he will throttle Netanyahu to give up Yehuda and Shomron with the forced expulsion of 400K Jews. Do not believe one word coming out of this WH. They are no friends of Israel.
7. No CHANGE, like Bush, Obama obedient to Jewish lobby
Roxi ,   USA   (05.08.09)
8. Attn: Pal Pal
Aaron ,   SF, USA   (05.08.09)
You claim that Pakistan is against the US? But the Pakistan head of state was recently on one of our news shows asking America for more help! Lebanon against the US? Hilary Clinton just showed Lebanon how much the US values their sovereignty, something Syria never acknowledges. Saudi Arabia against the U.S.? Do you realize how much military aid the U.S. gives to Saudi Arabia in return for oil? Our President bowed to the leader...how are we at war with Saudi Arabia? Jordan? Egypt? Both are at Peace with the U.S. and receive aid that keeps those two countries from toppling over. IF ANYTHING, the real war is about sovereign Arab governments against guerrilla terrorist factions. What world are YOU living in?
9. Hey Pal Pal: those countries you mention vs. US
Not ur Pal ,   USA   (05.08.09)
and Israel would be like a kid with a pea shooter vs. an MP with an automatic rifle. Surely you must be joking, or are you really THAT STUPID???
10. Syria is a dictatorship lead by an insecure son of a
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (05.09.09)
ruthless terrorist. They lost every war against Israel and they don't know how to stop hating the Jews. Syria is a loser country and obumma can't change that by sweet talk.
11. Very concerned Syrian
Abou Ali ,   USA   (05.09.09)
Oh yeah ..very hurtful sanctions! When Syria uses to buy arms from USA., Access the US financial system? Give me a break. The Syrian are very emotionally suffering from these joke sanctions
12. #6 Gets It!
Herut ,   America   (05.09.09)
There is nothing Obama wants more than for Syria to simply say the nice words he wants to hear---this will give him the excuse to put a bigger squeeze on Israel. As to Bibi, don't blame him...he is just a mindless, spineless egomaniac. He is doing his best...That is the saddest part.
13. Amen # 4
Ginette ,   Toronto, Canada   (05.09.09)
AND # 9, YES HE IS!
14.  Talk
Sam ,   US   (05.09.09)
Just reead Obama going to Egypt to deliver talk soon. Not Israel. Perhaps he wants to give impression he is very hard on Israel to get Arabs to make peace with Israel. His actions to date show he will continue being very harsh to Israel. His ME policy may well explode on him.
15. Syria will not abandon its ties with Iran.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (05.09.09)
Iran & North Korea have assisted Syrian nuclear, biological and chemical military efforts. It has funded Syria military procurement from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, China and North Korea and has supplied Damascus with Iran-made missiles, tanks, armored personnel carriers and sophisticated intelligence and surveillance systems. Iran & North Korea have collaborated in the development of ballistic capabilities. They established, in Syria, plants, which manufacture medium-range missiles and missile launchers. They have sent thousands of military and technological advisors to enhance Syrian military performance. More about Iran, Syria and the Hezbollah at : http://xrl.us/oxbo6
