Specter Undermining Foreign Policy

December 27, 2006 | By Sniper One |

Joining Sen. Kerry in violating the Logan Act, Republican Senator Specter has gone to Syria.

DAMASCUS, Syria — Syria’s president wants to resume peace negotiations with Israel, U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter said yesterday after meeting with Bashar Assad.

“Assad stated an interest in negotiating with Israel to try to bring a peaceful settlement to the Syrian-Israeli dispute under the U.N. doctrine of land-for-peace,” the Pennsylvania Republican said at a news conference at Damascus airport before leaving the country.

Mr. Specter, who visited Syria despite loud objections from the Bush administration, did not say what conditions Mr. Assad gave for restarting talks with the Israelis. Syrian officials were not available for comment.

Peace negotiations between the neighbors broke down in 2000. Syria has said it would resume negotiations but only within the framework of a comprehensive peace process.

Damascus wants the return of the entire Golan Heights, occupied by Israel in the 1967 war.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said on Monday he would like to renew peace talks with Syria, but insisted that Damascus first end its support of anti-Israel militant groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

Both of these two persons should understand the cost of undermining foreign policy. Meeting with Syria sends the international community mixed signals. We should be backing up our ally, Israel, not kowtowing to some murderous band of terror supporters.

Both Specter and Kerry should be arrested when they return to the US.
