3. And now for the subtitles...
Danny M ,   Vancouver, Canada   (04.22.10)
"The United States defended its policy of engagement with Syria on Thursday despite its concerns that Damascus might be trying to transfer Scud missiles to Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon." SUBTITLE: "After all these years, we liberals are still under the false impression that our kind and gentle ways will prevail."
4. there is nothing dumb
frank ,   Israel   (04.22.10)
the US has chosen their side. They are opting for terrorism over decades of friendship. This should be a lesson to all alleys the US is not to be trusted, are not an honest broker and are simply looking to destroy Israel however and the fastest way they can. Where is the Senate, Congress? How can their condone this disaster, this man of nothing. #1 certainly understands how the US is being played. The world phrase is "Yes I can" meaning obama is a fool and he believes terrorists. But America has chosen to back the great white hope....and he is willing to sacrafice it all. Remember he was elected from nothing with nothing and then won the nobel peace prize for nothing....what's not to like and respect?
5. Apessement, through and through, and we know where that

leads.
6. Assad is more afraid of Iran then the USA...
David ,   Hartford USA   (04.22.10)
Plus, the words of a woman don't hold any importance to a Muslim man; Assad will toy with Clinton until he's done using her. And when rockets fall on Israel because of her, Israel will really get to see the fragility of the 'unbreakable bond' that the administration is so fond of mentioning. Message for Israel: don't let your guard down for a second!!
7. The Great Appeaser strikes again..
Malone ,   Hfx   (04.22.10)
Syria,Iran,Hezbollah will be laughing even harder at obamafool now. Al-Quaida said years ago that they would destroy America from within,and it sure looks like they've got their man on the inside now!!
8. She just doesn't get it
Oreet   (04.22.10)
Hilary, the State Dept, Obama - you name it - have shown once again that they haven't a clue how the Arabs view anything. Translation - the Syrians, other Arabs, etc. will see this as weakness on the part of the US and yet another victory for them. Make nice all you want - but the Arabs will see that as a fault, a weakness and will continue to step all over the US.
9. Iran, Syria and the Hizbolla
Ron B. ,   Lod   (04.22.10)
Syria and Iran consider each other an extension of their strategic depth in face of mutual historical rivals and threats: Iraq, Turkey and the US. The US threat is military and political – introducing democracy, which is a lethal threat to the rogue regimes in Damascus and Teheran. Hence, for instance, the Iran-Syria involvement in anti-US Iraqi and Afghani terrorism, aimed at uprooting US military presence from Iraq, Afghanistan and from the Gulf. Damascus fears a stable pro-US Iraq and prefers a chaotic Iraq. More about Syria strategy at : http://xrl.us/oshmc
10. NOT stupid
ben Ish   (04.22.10)
If you think the Obama adminstration is stupid, then YOU are the fool. They know -exactly- what they are doing. What they have been doing all along. It is mind-boggling to me that they can pursue this agenda 100%, reward terrorists, punish Israel, grant arms contracts to terrorist states, AND YOU THINK THEY ARE JUST BEING STUPID? It is YOU who is being played like a fiddle. What on Earth, WHAT WHAT WHAT gives you the idea that Obama or anyone in his adminstration is opposed to Iranian nukes? WHAT??? I challenge you to give one single solitary example of -anything- they did at -anytime- that hinders Iran at all.
11. U.S gave syria sensitive communication systems
jason ,   haifa israel   (04.22.10)
That is a reward and got nothing in return and made no demands to stop supporting islamic jihad, hamas, hezbollah, iran.
12. #4
Spencer ,   New York   (04.22.10)
It's not the Americans who can't be trusted or relied upon, it's the present adminisration headed by Barak HUSSEIN Obama and Hilary Clinton. We need to get over the next few years and these two liars will be out of office.
13. And to think that I voted for her... ick.
Scott ,   USA   (04.22.10)
14. madame Secretary of State...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (04.23.10)
You are making yourself a tool of Irans henchmen, go and be the Monica of the mullahs...
