Obama’s Adviser Daniel Kurtz Meets With Syrian Foreign Minister
By NancyA on August 21, 2008 at 4:30 PM in Barack Obama, John McCain, campaign gaffes
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”.
Obama KNOWS that he’s going to be POTUS. How? I don’t know but I would like to know who and what are behind Obama.
He is NOT going to be president. There are far too many flaws for even the least informed voter to chose him. He still isn’t even the nominee, and there are 9 weeks post convention till election day.
He can’t close the deal.

Ohio has created a window in the election calendar that would allow residents instant gratification — register one minute The move will benefit Obama, who enjoys a 2-to-1 lead over McCain among 18- to 34-year-olds, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released last month. If Obama’s campaign were able to tap into college campuses with one-stop voting, it would add thousands of votes to his tally .

Yes, and you can bet that the Obama organization will absolutely FLOOD Ohio during that week. As I have said here many, many times, organization is going to win this election.
Anita-perhaps this will provide a clue as to who is behind (at least one of the people behind) Sen Obama.
This is the second time an Obama rep met with Syria.
The first time this happened Sen Obama claimed he knew nothing about it.
The person making the first trip was Z Brzezinski.
http://www.nysun.com/article/71123
The New York Sun 2/12/08 “Obama Adviser Leads Delegation to Damascus By Eli Lake Supposidly Sen. Obama had no idea that ZB, one of his foreign advisors at the time, was making a trip to Syria.
Read about ZB.
http://www.deepjournal.com/p/7/a/en/1497.html
Zbigniew Brzezinski (person who at one time some have accused of being a war monger, who has written books on why the US should seek control of Iran if US wants to maintain its global primacy in Euroasia.
http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/context.jsp?item=a1097chessboard#a1097chessboard
“Former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski publishes a book, The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives, in which he portrays the Eurasian landmass as the key to world power, and Central Asia with its vast oil reserves as the key to domination of Eurasia. He states that for the US to maintain its global primacy, it must prevent any possible adversary from controlling that region. He notes: “The attitude of the American public toward the external projection of American power has been much more ambivalent.
The public supported America”s engagement in World War II largely because of the shock effect of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.” He predicts that because of popular resistance to US military expansionism, his ambitious Central Asian strategy can not be implemented, “except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat.” [Brzezinski, 1997, pp. 24-25, 210-11] The book also theorizes that the US could be attacked by Afghan terrorists, precipitating a US invasion of Afghanistan, and that the US may eventually seek control of Iran as a key strategic element in the US”s attempt to exert its influence in Central Asia and the Middle East. [Brzezinski, 1997]”
Sen. Obama does not have much experience internationally so won”t he have to be relying much on his foreign advisors for advice and guidance?

Times On Line-UK 12/21/07 ‘Stay-at-home’ Barack Obama comes under fire for a lack of foreign experience”
Somebody really needs to stop him.
Can someone say Logan Act?
The CIA have stopped people for far less, he and his goons are a menace.
My thoughts exactly.
That is what I am wondering. Why isn’t this being investigated?
Are there any laws in the US that we uphold? We have immigration laws and don’t enforce them. We have election laws and don’t uphold them. A US president guilty of war crimes doesn’t get impeached, but a President does get impeached for a blowjob! WTF?
I see. So…it’s okay for McCain to have frequent phone calls with the prime minister of Georgia, send two U.S. Senators to Georgia as his emissaries, announce to the world what he thinks our policy toward Georgia and Russia ought to be…but not okay for a former U.S. ambassador to Israel and occasional unpaid Obama advisor to meet with a Syrian official on his own?
Got it.
I am not a POTUS, but I play one on TV. Some foreign officials will feel very ridiculous very soon.
meanwhile WaPo quips: Who needs Hillary’s voters?
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/08/21/wapo-who-needs-clintons-primari-voters-anyway/
Obama doesn’t put his pants on one leg at at time. sorry, but that’s all I have to say.
I’m sure Michelle dresses him as she has said that when he is at home he is sweet but PATHETIC. My guess he’s pretty useless, Michelle wears the pants and that is obvious.
Roseeriter According to Rev Manning. Don’t you mean King Kong’s baby sister!
It shows. By the way, do you have a racial issue with Michelle?
Said he was stinky too. OMG how first lady that remark was.
Yeah, sounds just like Jackie doesn’t it? Very tacky and crass.
I really feel that he and his group they way they are moving that they have all this tied up and ready to go.
I don’t know how the American people are just sitting back and watching this unfold before their eyes, something is not right here too many including the media is pushing this man to become president.
All the stories coming out, all the information and not one word is being asked about it, if it was anyone else by now the entire place would of been turning upside down.
I really feel we have some dark days ahead of us, this is beyond the voters control the game is set and no matter what we the public say or do, this is what is going to be facing us soon enough, all I can say is god help us.
get a grip. the doomsday prophecy doesn’t help.

Hey Paul, yes I just posted those two ads in another thread; they are pretty tough ads for the messiah….
Yep, and just like we told the bots for a billion times - they are going to start airing them on Thursday and Friday in the contested states.
The moment the DNC balloons hit the floor, the sound leaving the balloon pffffffsssssssst and pop is all that is going to be left of his reputation.
What little he has.
Hannitt played both on his radio show today along with McCain’s response to the “housing issue”. On Barry’s attack ad, Lou Dobbs said McCain handed it back to him on a silver platter.
Hannity also is thinking of having a fund raiser for Barry’s brother living in Nairobi on $1/month. Sean was all over him today!
The ‘Know Enough?’ ad is a good one on his Ayers “friendship.” God.
The ad states he served on “a” board, they should have said 2 boards.
Sean Hannity showed this video in tonight’s show. Very impressive.
Naturally, BHO’s puppy Holmes did his best to put it to rest. Go Sean Go. You did a good job tonight & everynight!
I don’t think that Obama can even come close to understand how potentially dangerous and damaging this move could be. Assad was visiting Russia yesterday in the midst of an American-French effort to lure Syria away from Iran. There are reports that an agreement is in the making to allow Russia to place nuclear missiles in Syria in response to American missiles in Poland.
Just on Fox, A white powder and a death threat found at Senator McCain office in Denver.
This is how we are going to be handled from now on, this is communism folks.
Take your tinfoil hat off and go sit in a corner.
yes, sit in the corner with the dozens of other people who got death threats as well for daring to speak against the one.
Isn’t it against some law for individuals to act on behalf of the US Government (in any shape or form thereof) when in relations with foreign governments? While the Obama campaign denies that they sent Kurtz, if he were threatened with prosocution of some sort (provided he was impeding on some part of the law), perhaps he would cough up some admittance of Obama involvement. More gas on the fire if you ask me.
This is just more of the same nonsense that we’ve seen develop all along. When are regular people going to wake up and realize that this election isn’t for Mayor of Kiddie City, it’s for the Presidency of the United States of America! WE’ve already had eight years of some tool cutting his teeth on the White House. That’s eight years too many.
Yes. The Logan Act specifically makes it a crime for any citizen to confer with foreign governments against the interests of the U. S. and prohibits citizens of the U. S. from negotiate with other nations on behalf of the United States without authorization.
And that authorization would come from the powers of Congress as set forth in Article I and the Executive powers granted to the president under Article II, Section 2. The presumptuous Obama has only the power of a junior senator without seniority and no foreign policy expertise so it is very unlikely that Bush authorized him to negotiate anything with one of his “enemy list” nations and no authorization from Congress has been recorded.
Why does Obama, who obsesses about his Christian conversion, constantly seek out contact with controversial middle eastern nations and take money from radical Muslim groups to the point of ignoring U. S. law? And yet he seems to know that he is immune from accountablility or punishment. We’re finding out more every day about who this guy really is, but just who does he think he is. And why is our legislative and executive branch afraid to cross him?

Again: you think this violates the Logan Act, but McCain’s meddling in Georgia doesn’t?

White powder–death threats
Remember BO’s friends are Ayers and Dohrn who used homemade bombs to destroy buildings in the early 70’s–watch the documentary “The Weather Underground.” These are far left anti-American radicals who still believe in their cause and who now teach University of Chicago. The people who are just watching all of this afraid of being called conspiracy theorists need to know that BO’s thugs are capable of anything and everything.

Message to Sojourner: Yes, this meddling in foreign affairs is definetly against the law This is covered under the LOGAN ACT, and Obama and Kurtz are both breaking the law, as it applies to civilian citizens as well as elected officials. Only the President has the authority ato deal with foreign leaders. Some members of Congress (Nancey Pelosi, for one), have been guilty of breaking the LOGAN ACT recently and President Bush and his administration have done nothing about it. When Obama took his so called victory tour in Europe recently, he broke the law more than once, and no one questioned it. Every day he gets by with something else. Each thing a little more horrendous than the last, and the MSM keeps quiet about. I think that thrill that went up Chris Matthew’s leg when he heard Obamas voice went all the way to his brain and short circuited it. I don’t know what excuse the others have, but we don’t have any true journalists left.
And Syria of all places…isn’t Syria on the rogue nations-naughty list?
Just too friggin funny.

Excerpt:
It is, therefore, curious in the extreme that he is giving a prominent role at next week’s Democratic Convention to a leader of an organization identified by the Justice Department as a Muslim Brotherhood front organization and an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorism financing conspiracy.
Dr. Ingrid Mattson is the president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), an organization created by the radical, Saudi-financed Muslim Students Association. She will represent the Muslim community at the first-ever interfaith prayer service at a Democratic nominating convention.

Found this gem on another blog…
“Posted by: sb realist | Aug 21, 2008 7:35:11 PM
I support Obama, not for the idealistic speeches he gets way too much press over, or the whole celebrity persona that he has rightfully been attached with. I could honestly care less about any Rezko info, or how many houses Cindy McCain owns. It doesn’t affect me. I don’t care about flag pins on anyone’s lapel, or if someone has been accused of being unpatriotic. If you run for President, that’s good enough for me. I don’t care if a candidate confused a story from the past, or is accused of being a drug using, Atheist, Communist, super-secret Muslim. It may pass for news, but it ranks right below info-mercials on my TV schedule.”
I think this guy is high on more than Kool-Aid. Apparently stoned since ‘68.

This really bothers me.
Why has there been NO reaction from the BUSH ADMINISTRATION? Or George Bush himself?
Daniel Kurtzer is an idiot. He never got anything to go forward when he was ambassador. he is largely responsible for empowering terrorist organizations by his willoingness to validate their position with a good sincere listen whiule they exit to a back room to rip of the fingernails or far worse of others.
This is no change for Kurtzer. He is an ineffective pretender. Over promoted for sure mmany times. Obama is an idiot for having him in his fold. But not as much of an idiot as the people who want CHANGE at the expense of any reason… people who are behind him for not sufficient logic.
if Obama can steal enough votes, and he THINKS he can, he will be president…
Obama and his supporters have proven that they will steal votes…
they think they can get away with it…
