Powell: USA should talk with Syria


The former Secretary of State of the Bush administration, Colin Powell, criticized his former boss by saying that America should talk with Syria. Powell reminisced about his days as Secretary of State in which he traveled to Damascus twice and America held open conenctions with the Syrians. Powell stated that at least on one occasion the Syrians proved able to ameliorate the explosive situation which existed on the Lebanese border between Israel and Hezbollah.
Powell's statements come in the wake of several peace overtures made by Syria towards Israel.
