Israel Matzav: How's that outreach going Mr. President?

How's that outreach going Mr. President?

One of the leaders President Obumbler has been trying to 'engage' is Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Over the weekend, Obama got his answer: Assad has entered into a mutual defense pact with Iran.

Iran and Syria signed a defense agreement on Friday, according to an Iranian Press TV report, just as Iran is coming under strong international pressure to clarify aspects of its nuclear program.

The document, signed by Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi and his Syrian counterpart Ali Mohammad Habib Mahmoud, aimed to face "common enemies and challenges," the report said.

Vahidi praised Syria's great potential in defense and military fields and said that "it is natural for a country like Syria - which has an inhumane and menace predator like Israel in its neighborhood - to be always prepared [against possible foreign aggression]."

His visit to Syria comes a week after Saeed Jalili, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, also visited Damascus.

As you may recall, Vahidi was the mastermind of the suicide bombing of the Jewish Cultural Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

What could go wrong?
