| Obama Aides Pledge Cooperation with Syria in Secret Meeting |
| Monday, November 10, 2008 |
In yet another event in the "Change We Can Belive in" saga, WorldNet Daily is reporting that representatives of President-elect Barack Obama met with Syrian Officials, according to a Syrian diplomatic source.
According to the diplomatic source Obama supports ending their county's isolation and as president he would work to bring Damascus into the international community, that Obama favors engagement and economic cooperation with Syria as opposed to the Bush administration's policy of isolating the country and imposing economic sanctions.
The source also disclosed Obama's team said the president-elect favors talks between Israel and Syria leading to an Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights, strategic, mountainous territory looking down on Israeli population centers that was twice used in the past by Syria to mount ground invasions into the Jewish state.
The source said the pledges were made this past summer in a meeting in Washington, D.C., between Obama's policy aids and Syrian Ambassador Imad Moustapha.
The source said Moustapha was asked at the time by Obama's camp not to comment on the meeting. |
