Blogmeister USA: Dodd (and Kerry!) Plans Talks With Middle East Leaders.
| Blogmeister USA wrote: | Connecticut’s other senator, Chris Dodd (D), is planning a trip to the Middle East to conduct what the Hartford Courant calls “his own Middle East peace talks.”
And, he’s bringing John Kerry with him. The two plan to talk to leaders in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Israel.
The subheadline to the above linked article says, “Kerry to Join Effort in Sensitive Territory.” If it’s sensitivity that Dodd wants, he may want to rethink his choice of traveling partner.
Call me cynical, but I find it somewhat pretentious when two senators, both with presidential ambitions, decide to travel to a highly unstable area of the world with the hopes that perhaps they can succeed where others with more qualifications for such activities have failed.
Oh, you didn’t know Chris Dodd was planning a run for president? |

Curiously, looking up a little info on Dodd, besides his admiration for a Klansman, it appears he is listed as a 'veteran' in the Senate since he served in the Reserves from 1969 to 1975.
According to rules imposed on Republicans by Democrats, doesn't that make Dodd a draft dodger as well?

CAIRO (Reuters) - U.S. Senator John Kerry said on Friday he was willing to go to Tehran to talk to Iranian leaders but would not have time during his current Middle East tour.
"I don't have time and we were not able to make arrangements in the short timespan we had but I would be willing to go," he told reporters in Cairo, the first stop on his tour.
Asked if he planned to make a trip later, he said: "At the appropriate time, at some point."
