No Peace Until After U. S. Election - Syria’s Assad

Syria Hopes For Obama Win In U. S.

Middle East peace is unavoidable but most likely will not be achieved until a new US administration is elected, Syrian President Bashar Assad said on Sunday.

Bush, according to the Syrian leader, “has no vision for peace” and lacks the will to push forward the process, an encoded message that if the U. S. continues its pro-Israel stance war is inevitable with his Iranian financed nation. Reports from Damascus and Ankara, however, indicating that Syria will not enter into direct negotiations with Israel before the advent of new American administration show an obstructive apprehension on the part of the Syrian government.

Clearly Syria is hoping for the election of a less reliable Israeli ally, namely Barack Obama, who will not go to the mat for the Jewish state.
