Serious peace negotiations between Syria and Israel will not take place until a new US administration is in place after the November election, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said Saturday.

"The current administration (of President George W. Bush) is not interested in the peace process," he told reporters at his Paris meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Translation: We can unleash the hezbollah dogs of hell on Israel with no threat of U.S. assistance to Israel if our ideological soul-mate Barack Hussein Obama is elected President of the U.S.

McCain wins ... we better talk to Israel or we're going to get handed our arse.

Obama wins .. no need to talk to Israel because Obama "will side with the Moslems" ...

Sounds like it. It also sounds a little like a replay of Bush not talking to Arafat. Unfortunately they do not understand the theory behind this concept. When you are the lesser of the two, you have no power. It’s only when the greater power allows it do you gain something. BTW - Syria is not in a position of power. They are the tick on a dogs ass just waiting for the tick bath to kill them off.

Translation. The Bush administration is not interested in any BS. We will wait for a Muslim to become President.

President Asshat better be hoping that he’s still around when the next U.S. President is inaugurated.

If the IDF can take out a budding Syrian reactor, they can sure drop some laser-guided whoopass on Asshat.

Smart move on Syria's part. Not to mention that with Olmert out, who's he going to talk to, Nancy Pelosi?
