Gabbard Admits Assad Meeting UPDATE: she's now in trouble re: ethics rules

[Shadows]

Why does she get so much hate on this forum?

Uh, she has ties to groups in India that are basically Hindu versions of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Seriously, ffs.

Which group? Because I am pretty sure the PM of India also comes from a Hindu Group who are basically evangelicals type. By that logic, you have to condemn every strong Evangelical.

@ Topic - US is negotiating with Assad, meeting him through people - What is the problem with this?

The rebels are basically full of Al Qaeda people & extremists who belonged to the group who attacked in 9/11. Assad is a secular guy, the rebels are religious extremists. And then you have ISIS.

You always negotiate with people & people are negotiating with Assad to solve this mess!

In a release, Gabbard’s office said the trip was approved by the House Ethics Committee and was sponsored by the Arab American Community Center for Economic and Social Services.

“Originally, I had no intention of meeting with Assad, but when given the opportunity, I felt it was important to take it," she said in the release. "I think we should be ready to meet with anyone if there’s a chance it can help bring about an end to this war, which is causing the Syrian people so much suffering."
