Marching to the Empire's Orders....Syria's Assad to Visit Saudi Arabia


Al-Manar

"12/01/2010 Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is to travel to Riyadh on Wednesday for talks with King Abdullah, who paid a landmark visit to Damascus last October, Saudi Arabia's official news agency SPA said.

The visit on Wednesday comes amid stepped-up efforts by Riyadh to build Arab unity around the Palestinians ahead of a possible resumption of peace talks with Israel. [providing the Arab fig leaf to the Palestinian traitor to "resume negotiations." Next will come an "emergency" meeting of Arab eunuchs, AKA Arab foreign ministers, ....How many times have we seen this old and boring film? ....Barf!!.....This is "Arab unity" in surrender and defeat.]

Damascus-Riyadh ties were severely strained for years, partly over Syria's role in Lebanon and its support for Hezbollah, before a thaw marked by King Abdullah's trip to Damascus. But the two countries still differ over Lebanese politics, over the Palestinian division between the Hamas and Fatah factions, and Iran's role in the region, according to diplomats and analysts."
