Useful Idiot John Kerry Delivers Hamas Letter To U.S. Consulate In Jersusalem Before Going To Meet With Syrian President Bashar Assad

Fox News reports that "U.S. officials are furious with the United Nations for its role in Hamas' attempt to enlist U.S. Sen John Kerry to transfer a letter from the Palestinian militant group to President Obama during Kerry's trip to the Middle East." Kerry did in fact turn over the Hamas letter to the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem on Friday, and later said he unaware that it was from Hamas until hearing about the letter in media reports. Fox News reports that "U.S. officials in Jerusalem are outraged at the United Nations Relief and Works agency for apparently handing the letter off to Kerry."

John Kerry traveled to Syria on Saturday to meet with Bashar al-Assad. Kerry now chairs the Senate's powerful foreign relations committee. He is the most senior US official to visit Damascus since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in 2007. In 2007, Pelosi infamously declared "the road to Damascus is a road to peace." John Kerry also used his meeting as an opportunity to attack the previous administration, providing propoganda and justifications to cover Syria's behavior, saying that "unlike the Bush administration that believed you could simply tell people what to do and walk away and wait for them to do it, we believe you have to engage in a discussion."

Assad also met other US legislators this past week, including Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Howard Berman and Senator Benjamin Cardin.
