Bashar Assad Waiting for a Man Filled with Words
President Bush was to Him an Uncompromising Nerd
If our next President happens to be a free chirping Bird
An Arrangement May Be Worked Out Bordering On Absurd
Bush made Assad a deal and His response was as if Unheard
And offered the Palestinians a roadmap of peace they Deferred
Islamic gang is Waiting for a President Who Will come and Confer
And Presidential candidate Obama’s tongue moves so fast its a Blur
July 8, 2008
I don’t think Bashar Assad is the only radical Islamic leader waiting to see who is elected. I suspect all the radical regimes are hoping Obama will be the next U.S. President, because they love to tall, talk, talk while their enemies talk themselves to death. The fanatics definitely don’t want McCain in office.
They do not want a war vet who understands them and the Islamic character of deceit and treachery. They would be delighted to have a young inexperienced American President who came from their own culture, rather than one with an American military sort of background.

Assad: No peace until after Bush
Syrian president sees little chances for direct talks with Israel during current US president’s term. ‘Frankly, we do not think that the current American administration is capable of making peace,
‘ says Assad
Reuters
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has told a French newspaper his country is unlikely to enter direct peace talks with Israel while US President George W. Bush is in office.
However, in an interview published on the web site
of Le Figaro daily on Monday, Assad said he was betting that the next US leader would get more involved in the peace process.
Assad said Syria and Israel were looking for common ground to start face-to-face negotiations, adding that it was vital to find the right country to mediate such talks.
“The most important thing in direct negotiations is who sponsors them,” Assad told Le Figaro, saying the United States had an essential role to play.
“Frankly, we do not think that the current American administration is capable of making peace. It doesn’t have either the will or the vision and it only has a few months left,” he said.
“When we have established a common foundation (for negotiations) at indirect talks with Israel , perhaps we could give some trump cards to the new administration to make it get more involved,” he added.
“We are betting on the next president and his administration,” he said.

Bush Offered Palestinians a State; They Said No
Clifford D. May (National Review)
Six years ago, on June 24, 2002, President Bush announced that the U.S. would support the creation of a Palestinian state.
His only condition was that Palestinians first choose “leaders not compromised by terror.” He asked also that they “confront corruption,” and “build a practicing democracy based on tolerance and liberty.”
In 2006, elections were held in Gaza and the West Bank.
Hamas, a terrorist organization, declared itself a political party and won.
In 2007, Hamas launched a wave of violence against rival Fatah security forces. Since then, Hamas has been unchallenged in Gaza and no one talks of new elections or civil rights.
Nor has Hamas attempted to build an economic base.
Instead, it turned to Iran’s rulers for money and guidance – and then complained that Palestinians were living in squalor because they weren’t receiving sufficient funds from the U.S. and Europe.
Hamas rains missiles on Israeli towns, sends terrorists into Israel on killing and kidnapping missions, and assigns suicide-bombers to blow up the few border crossings with Israel. Then Hamas complains that Israel is not delivering as much food, medicine, gasoline, and electricity as Palestinians require.
President Bush believed that Palestinians wanted a state to call their own – and that they wanted that more than they wanted the destruction of the Jewish state next door. In 2002 Bush said: “If liberty can blossom in the rocky soil of the West Bank and Gaza, it will inspire millions of men and women around the globe….This moment is…a test to show who is serious about peace
and who is not.”
He was right. It was a test. And now it’s time to be candid about the results. Israelis, Americans, and Europeans are serious about peace. The enemies of Israelis, Americans, and European are serious about defeating Israelis, Americans, and Europeans.

End National Review Excerpt
It is certainly no secret that both Syria and Iran, along with all their associated terrorist groups, are hoping for an American leader they can talk to death before they kill his people. I consider Obama to be a man possessed of self-delusion. He is just the one they want to talk, talk, talk, to death, while they prepare to kill all the Israelis.

Iran Diplomacy an Exercise in Self-Delusion
Benny Avni
July 8, 2008
The West’s current diplomatic strategy – offering endless incentives to Iran, hoping it will change its behavior – is little more than an exercise in self-delusion.
Western diplomats reportedly are “disappointed” at Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki’s response to the most recent incentive package that EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana offered to Iran. Reading Solana’s package of benefits, Israel’s former deputy defense minister, Ephraim Sneh, told me, “I thought it was being offered to Sweden or Norway,” not a terrorist regime that has thumbed its nose at UN Security Council resolutions. “Iran will fool the West to buy time, and the West will allow itself to be fooled.” (New York Sun)
