Obama’s Adviser Daniel Kurtz Meets With Syrian Foreign Minister

What the hell does Obama think he is doing by having an adviser meet with a Middle East protagonist like Syria? They have been responsible for assassinations in Lebanon and refuse to let the International Atomic Energy Agency inspect certain nuclear sites, this is just a short list of things they are suspected of or responsible for! Why does it take more than a month to learn Daniel Kurtzer a “non-paid” Obama adviser met with Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem?

Who hell the does he think is, POTUS or something? What has he already set up his own shadow government?

While the trip was not connected to the Obama campaign, according to Daniel Kurtzer, he nonetheless provided Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem with some advice of his own.

“I urged him to move ahead in the Israel-Syria negotiations as much as possible so that whoever is the next president would not start from too far down the track,” Mr. Kurtzer, a former American ambassador to Israel, said yesterday in a phone interview. “I did not say anything about Obama or McCain. I said whoever is the next president is not going to want to inherit a process that isn’t going anywhere.”

Where the hell does Obama get off mixing it up with the Syrian government? Is he really that out of it he doesn’t know he isn’t our POTUS at this time?

A spokeswoman for the Obama campaign, Wendy Morigi, said: “Senator Obama values the expertise of Ambassador Kurtzer, but he is not a paid adviser, nor is he authorized to conduct talks with any government. Ambassador Kurtzer’s trip was part of an American Bar Association (ABA) delegation on legal reform and had no connection with the campaign.”

Mr. Kurtzer said he informed the campaign of his trip to Damascus and described his role as someone who gives advice to the campaign and the candidate from time to time on the Middle East. In this capacity, he was at the Illinois senator’s side in Israel last month. “I don’t do politics, I do policy,” Mr. Kurtzer said.

Yeah Right! Now Obama is splitting hairs and so is his adviser. The only thing we are reminded of that Obama is a relative inexperienced candidate.

In a conference call today, McCain adviser, Randy Scheunemann, Senior Foreign Policy Adviser, had this to say, about the meeting, “it was underwritten by a Syrian oil company as well as other Syrian corporations”. He went on to say this “it appears there is no transparency in Obama’s campaign”. It seems to me, Obama truly intends to meet with any dictator or foreign thug without preconditions.

Scheunemann suggested that Obama needed an education in Negotiating 101. He implied there are three conditions that should be met, preconditions, confidence you aren’t being used and confidence you are doing the right thing!

Obama proves again that he is an utter threat to our national security and could very well destroy any foreign agreement we have with any country!

Once again I have to remind you Obama, you are not POTUS and being POTUS is not a game! And you simply are not ready for “prime time”.
