Syria has announced that it is sending its Deputy Foreign Minister Faysal Mekdad to Annapolis. Foreign Minister Moualem is not going. Does this mean that the Golan Heights will officially be included on the agenda as Syria insisted or, as Burns said, "no one will turn off the microphones if Syria brings up the Golan"? Probably somewhere in between.<\/p>\n

Syria has confirmed that its deputy foreign Minister will attend the conference as the above article claimed would happen.<\/p>\n
Slowly but steadily the White House is changing its Syria policy. The tide is turning in the direction of the Damascus leadership.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, the Iranian President just stated the following:<\/p>\n
“Participation in this summit is an indication of a lack of intelligence of some so-called politicians…I am sorry that some people around us plan to participate in the conference which only helps to support the Zionist occupiers”.<\/p>\n
The title of the above article [“At Mideast Talks, U.S. and Israel Seek to Isolate Iran by Wooing Syria,”<\/a>] seems rather relevant now. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
