Joan Swirsky, guest columnist at the Canada Free Press, has a spot on piece regarding Sen. Jay Rockefeller’s recent comments that he visited three Middle Eastern countries in January of 2002 to let them know that he thought the President had ‘made up his mind’ to invade Iraq – one of those countries was an Iraq ally: Syria.
