Obama renews sanctions against Syria

The Obama administration said Friday it is renewing economic and diplomatic sanctions on Syria, even as two US envoys are in the Syrian capital exploring prospects for improved relations.

In a letter to Congress, President Barack Obama said he was compelled to renew the penalties, which were first imposed by George W. Bush's administration four years ago as diplomatic contact dwindled. Washington has not had an ambassador in Damascus since Margaret Scobey was recalled in 2005.

"The actions of the government of Syria in supporting terrorism, pursuing weapons of mass destruction and missile programs, and undermining US and international efforts with respect to the stabilization and reconstruction of Iraq pose a continuing unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy and economy of the United States," Obama said in the letter dated Thursday.

thank goodness for alternative and foreign media.

For some reason, when Obama agrees with Bush policies, you never hear about it, in what Reader would call credible sources.

Maybe that's what leads to misconceptions about how safe a country Syria is. Here's a google search using the words Obama, Syria Sanctions.

But I would like to see the factual evidence, that Syria is pursuing WMD's, who's intelligence is being used? Some have trusted such intelligence before, and were called liars, when they acted on such info.

This isn't intelligence that was gained from depriving someone of sleep, I hope.
