BEIRUT, Lebanon -- Sen. John Kerry, on a visit to Lebanon Monday, called for moving away from "the ideologies of extremism" and urged political reconciliation among rival factions to resolve the country's deepening political crisis.

Kerry and Senator Christopher Dodd met Monday with anti-Syrian Lebanese leaders as well as an ally of the militant group Hezbollah to discuss the crisis a day before the pair head to neighboring Syria.

...

"We are very, very admiring of the courage of those political leaders who are looking for reconciliation," Kerry told reporters after meeting Defense Minister Elias Murr. In an apparent reference to Hezbollah and its allies, he urged the parties to distance themselves from "the ideologies of extremism" to help promote a political solution.

Mostly, they are getting stiffed by heads of state in Leb and in Cuba. Maybe they can see the janitor in Syria.

If Kerry hasn't noticed the Lebanese government is in full control over the Hezbos who are pretty much stuck on rallies that aren't changing any minds.

So, Kerry wants to throw the Cedar Revolution to the Syrian and Hizbo wolves. Just like he did to the RVN.

You know that if he runs again he can say he was in Iraq.

Wonder if he put himself in for another Purple Heart while he was there.

"What is with all of these Senators and politicians going to these Muslim countries and acting like they represent the Administration of the United States.??"

Blind ambition. No other reason.

Kerry would sell out his own mother if it would advance his political goals.

The last 2 democrats to run for president are such shallow intellectual lightweights that it boggles the mind that this is what passes for the best we have to offer.

We have not "evolved" as a country if programmed, empty suit, platitude spitting robots are passed off as intellects to half of America.

Hillary Clinton? Talk about a calculating, micro managed politician with no respect for America.

The only thing democrats are is CLEVER about decieving the American people that they are reasoned and intelligent and introspective about the American people's best interests. They conduct themselves as Kings and Queens.

If there is a quote of the week this should be it.

Johnny should lead a parade down the middle of Beirut, waving a banner reading, "Can't we all just get along?"

See how far he gets.
