"...The two clowns that they keep sending to Damascus surely do believe that, but does Obama believe it?..."

Pat Lang on Iranian & Lebanese elections, at SST, here
"... And then there is Lebanon where Acela Joe Biden stopped by in Beirut to threaten the Lebanese electorate with Bush Administration - Oops! Obama Administration disfavor if the Shia/Aouni forces win a bigger representation in parliament and therefore in the cabinet. Is "egregious" too big a word for this display of "ward heeling" on a global scale? The Obama/Clinton/Jones team has shown some finesse in the Middle East. What on earth are they doing in sending Acela Joe to Lebanon to deliver this neocon/Likud message? Do they really think that Bashar Assad is shamming in his protestations that he wants peace with the US and Israel? Do they really think that? The two clowns that they keep sending to Damascus surely do believe that, but does Obama believe it?..."
