Flipper's Freelance Diplomatic Tour
Sun, Dec 17, 2006 at 9:22:19 am PST
Another lazy slacker ends up in Iraq:
In typical Flipper fashion, he spreads defeatism but calls it “success:” Kerry: Iraq visit helped focus his views.
Kerry, a critic of Bush administration policies in Iraq, said the most important challenge now was to achieve “whatever success is possible.”
Next stop for Kerry is the palace of that “mischievous” dictator Bashar Assad, for a little freelance diplomacy and undermining of US interests.
He arrived in Iraq after visits to Egypt and Jordan. He also plans to visit Syria for talks with President Bashar Assad and travel to Lebanon, Israel and the West Bank.
Syria has influence with Iraqi Sunnis, and some leaders of the Sunni-led insurgency are believed to be living there. Kerry has criticized the Bush administration for refusing to engage with Syria and Iran, as was recommended by the bipartisan Iraq Study Group.
Kerry acknowledged that Syria’s influence with Sunni insurgents is limited “but it can create mischief as it has been.” He said discussions with Syria were important because of Damascus’ involvement in a range of regional issues, including Lebanon and the Palestinian areas.
It looks like the Democrats have decided to begin implementing the Iraq Surrender Group’s recommendations—unilaterally.
