Well, well, Zbigniew Brzezinski senior policy adviser to Sen. Obama’s Presidential campaign is scooting over to Damascus under cover of the RAND Middle East program to palaver with young reckless Assad and his henchmen. Doubtless, as Martin Peretz of TNR said in his blog today, Zbig, former President Jimma Carter’s National Security Adviser will visit Khaled Mashal-the head of the military wing of Hamas. That is, if the latter isn’t in hiding given the assassination of former Hezbollah terrorist mastermind, Imad Magniyah, yesterday by, presumably, the Israelis.

Rep. Elliot Engel (D-NY), one of the good guys in Congress was at a retreat to discuss US Iran policy, when he was asked by New York Sun writer, Eli Lake for his views on this latest caper by Brezezinki. Realize that Engel is a surrogate for Sen. Hillary Clinton, but even so, his comments are very much on point.

“People are going to say if you are advising Obama, you are representing Obama,” Mr. Engel said. “At this time when we are in the middle of an election, I can’t believe that for him to go to Syria at this moment would not appear he was going with at least some tacit approval of the candidate he is advising. I would think he would realize that,” Mr. Engel said.

He said the former Carter administration official addressed Democratic lawmakers last month at a retreat at Williamsburg, Va., on America’s policy toward Iran. “I remember thinking, ‘Why are we listening to him?’ He was the national security adviser for Jimmy Carter 30 years ago. He proceeded to talk to us about Iran, and I said, ‘Let me see, didn’t the ayatollahs come to power, didn’t we have this problem when you were in the White House?’”

Looks like more appeasement by Obama and company with the arch enemy of America, Israel and Lebanon. We shudder to think what US Foreign policy would look like in a hypothetical Obama Administration.

by Eli Lake, New York Sun, February 12, 2008

WASHINGTON — A foreign policy adviser to Senator Obama is scheduled to arrive in Syria today as the leader of a RAND Corp. delegation.

Zbigniew Brzezinski will travel to Damascus for meetings as part of a trip Syria’s official Cham News agency described as an “important sign that the end of official dialogue between Washington and Damascus has not prevented dialogue with important American intellectuals and politicians.”

An assistant to Mr. Brzezinski, Trudy Werner, told The New York Sun yesterday: “He is leading a delegation for RAND and they will be in Damascus. It is a high-level delegation and they are meeting with some high-level people in the region. There is no shortage of issues in the Middle East to discuss as I’m sure you know.”

Mr. Brzezinski’s visit to Syria, a country President Bush has accused of arming terrorists and ordering political assassinations in Lebanon, is in many ways in keeping with a theme of the Obama campaign. The Illinois senator in August said during a Democratic debate that he would be willing to meet with foreign adversaries, earning a rebuke from Senator Clinton, a Democrat of New York, who said such an approach would be “naïve.”

On August 24, Mr. Brzezinski, a one-time national security adviser to President Carter, announced in an interview on Bloomberg’s satellite news channel that he was endorsing Mr. Obama, and he has been an adviser to the campaign since.

A spokesman for the senator’s presidential campaign, Tommy Vietor, said the campaign did not know Mr. Brzezinski was leading the delegation. “The first we heard of this trip was from you,” he said. He added: “Brzezinski is not a day-to-day adviser for the campaign, he is someone whose guidance Senator Obama seeks on Iraq.”

A supporter of Mrs. Clinton, Rep. Eliot Engel, a Democrat from New York, said he found it hard to believe that one of the Illinois senator’s main advisers would not know that his visit to Syria would appear to have the tacit consent of the Obama campaign.

“People are going to say if you are advising Obama, you are representing Obama,” Mr. Engel said. “At this time when we are in the middle of an election, I can’t believe that for him to go to Syria at this moment would not appear he was going with at least some tacit approval of the candidate he is advising. I would think he would realize that,” Mr. Engel said.

Mr. Bush has had a bifurcated policy toward Syria in the past six months. On the one hand, his administration openly accuses the regime of rogue behavior, and he has not yet sent a full-ranked ambassador to man the American embassy in Syria.

At the same time, the secretary of state in November invited the Syrians to participate in a regional peace initiative with Israel at a conference in Annapolis, Md.

A spokesman for the State Department, David Foley, yesterday offered no comment on Mr. Brzezinski’s scheduled travel to Damascus. “In light of the ongoing Syrian interference in the presidential election process in Lebanon, the continued flow of foreign fighters into Iraq from Syria, the continued support for Palestinian terrorist groups and Hezbollah, we call on Damascus to cease its destructive tactics.”

A source familiar with Mr. Brzezinski’s travel to Damascus yesterday said the visit was not coordinated with America’s embassy there, but that embassy officials would be available for discussions if requested.

A press officer for the RAND Corp., Lisa Sodders, said the trip was organized by the RAND Center for Middle East Public Policy. She offered scant details on the trip, which she said was not meant to be covered by the press. She said the delegation would be “meeting with several different people, community leaders and government officials throughout the Middle East.”

Over the weekend, Mr. Brzezinski met with the Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak. Syrian press accounts said the delegation would visit Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad; vice president, Farouq al-Sharaa, and foreign minister, Walid Mouallem. Neither Ms. Sodders or Ms. Werner would confirm Mr. Brzezinski’s meeting partners in Damascus.

Mr. Engel yesterday said he was not a particular admirer of Mr. Brzezinski’s, though he praised his intelligence. He said the former Carter administration official addressed Democratic lawmakers last month at a retreat at Williamsburg, Va., on America’s policy toward Iran. “I remember thinking, ‘Why are we listening to him?’ He was the national security adviser for Jimmy Carter 30 years ago. He proceeded to talk to us about Iran, and I said, ‘Let me see, didn’t the ayatollahs come to power, didn’t we have this problem when you were in the White House?’”

All Obama/Osama is doing is asking for help once he is elected to make sharia law the law of the land.  We will see arab/dog advisors from all over the arab world coming to AMERICA to assist in the takeover.  Our military will be more than likely disbanded within a few years or they will be under orders of arab officers and mullahs.  I myself will resist with my dying breath!  I will not succumb to Islamic/Nazi/vermin leaders!  A lot of the blacks, not african AMERICANS, will love this.  They will be quite upset when Obama/Osama bans the trash they call music.  That might be the only good thing, maybe the only good thing that will happen.  It's gonna be funny when they have to dress according to sharia law.  Obama/Osama will be asking for assistance, not holding talks to end terrorism.  The whites and Jews in AMERICA are in for a tough time and we must stand together or we will perish.  I love my country, as I'm sure the rest of my countrymen and women here do also.  It grieves me to no end to see what we have become in the last 30 years or more.  I can understand why those animals in Islam/Nazism see AMERICA as the great Satan.  Afterall, we have abortion/murder/infanticide on demand, queerism all over tv, and child molestors having their way with our children at will.  Our beloved nation has slipped into a gutter which we must pull ourselves from.  As for this Brezezinski fellow, he's just another traitor in the Democratic party that must be dealt with sooner or later.  My fellow JTFers, a day will come when arabs/dogs will be running and manning our police departments and local governments.  There will be so-called thought police running amok among us, which is pretty much true now.  I know this sounds a little extreme but we must not let this happen.  We are at a point in the history of this great nation where we must make a difference in the destinies of our fellow AMERICANS.  If we succumb to this animal and his Islamic/Nazi vermin, then the world will soon follow.  We are the bastion of freedom in the world today.  We must not let the world down.  Although the rest of the world doesn't see Islam/Nazism as the true threat that it is, we must not falter.  I could go on and on, but I had better not.  I pretty much got my point across and so I will close.  God bless AMERICA and ISRAEL!!!!!
