Wow. Talk about greasing the wheels of diplomacy with cash payments. I'd rather see stricter sanctions that enforce the goals of the original ones, rather than dropping them altogether. If they need to repair aircraft let them, but use the opportunity to squeeze some more submission from them and carry out tighter controls on the aircraft you do repair.Syria has reported several U.S. measures to improve relations under the Obama administration. On Feb. 15, Syrian ambassador to the United States, Imad Mustafa, said the U.S. Treasury Department approved the transfer of $500,000 to a Syrian charity.

I heard about that. I was questioning between Syria and the US. I was going to delete until later comments arrived. My question was what advantages US get out of dealing people like this, but nm.FatherTed wrote:

he has no choice. they couldnt keep their country straight after the soviets left, so no matter how long we stay there it wont change a thing...except keep the taliban and al-q on the run and fighting (flocking) to one area. good thing for us bad thing for the afghans.FatherTed wrote:

Most likely that was not govt cash, but charity money collected in the US blocked by the treasury.the U.S. Treasury Department approved the transfer of $500,000 to a Syrian charity.
Fuck Israel
Pakistan is falling, Obama isn't doing a damn thing about it.
Yet, he's spending time trying to normalize relations with two of the worst terrorist supply houses in the region, Syria and Iran.
WHAT. THE. FUCK? OVER.
He's either got some brilliant game-plan cooked up by his brain trust there, OR he's fucking up on a scale to make GWB look like a strategic genius in comparison.

Switzerland:
-Home of chocolate, cheese and watches, (and messed up banks)
-Very very socialist (they even banned airsoft below 18 now, FFS I finally am the legal age to own one...)
This is stereotype but just MHO.
Again random but you get the picture...
