Syria Stunner: German Intelligence “Cooperating” With Assad, Berlin May Reopen Embassy In Damascus
“Germany’s spy agency is working again with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s secret service to swap information on Islamist militants,” Reuters writes, citing the German daily.
Reuters continues: “Citing well-informed sources, the mass-circulation newspaper said German foreign intelligence BND agents had been traveling regularly to Damascus for some time for consultations with Syrian colleagues.”
Bild goes on to say that the BND intends to establish a station in Damascus imminently where agents will take up permanent positions. That could pave the way for the reopening on the German embassy, which was shuttered in 2012. As Sputnik reminds us, “diplomatic relations were broken off three years ago when, the then Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, expelled the Syrian ambassador from Germany [and] the German ambassador to Damascus was withdrawn and the embassy closed for safety reasons.”

I believe you mean “Iraq” instead of Iran. Turkey has put some troops and tanks into Iraq.

No Ipso not in life support yet. First thing they really do is check to see if there essential parts are still there. Aren’t you glad Hillary isn’t a nurse? Some things can be dangerous like drunks and certain people out of it like cops who were had to pry a nurse out of a choke hold one time. Had a FBI guy out of it was a hand full but when I got him stabilized and tell you been anyone else they’d be dead tough guy who apologized and thanked me before they wisked him out and was surprised he remembered anything in the condition he was in. Some times it’s cute like the little old lady who when cutting a name tag from another hospital off to put on a new one. She says no dear don’t take my bracelet the girls gave me that. Okay you can keep it then lol
