"...Syria was worried at Obama's strong support for Israel - although it came as no surprise - during his visit to Tel Aviv some months ago. They have not forgotten the overwhelming support Arabs showed for George W Bush in 2000, ......The Syrians are willing to cooperate with Obama on a variety of issues, prime on the list being Iraq. In the words of Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Mouallem, Syria will help secure an "honorable exit" for the US from Iraq. Damascus was very close to suspending diplomatic relations with Baghdad after Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki failed to prevent the October strike on Syria - which was launched from Iraqi territory - but did not do so, to keep channels open with the Obama administration and to better deliver security in Iraq...."
