Khawam, a former executive director and current board member of the Arab American Community Center for Economic and Social Services (AACCESS-Ohio), said this wasnt the first trip his Cleveland-based organization has coordinated for U.S. lawmakers to the Middle East. Founded in 1991 to serve the Arab American community in Ohio, AACCESS has organized three trips to the region for Dennis Kucinich, the former Democratic congressman from Ohio, between 2006 and 2011; Khawam said the group did the same for Gabbard, a two-term Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, because of her expressed interest in the region.

Congresswoman Gabbard had a position on whats taking place in Syria, and about regime change, and these sort of things, Khawam, a Lebanese health-care consultant, told me in an interview. So we thought that would be most likely very helpful for her to see things on the ground similar to what we did with Congressman Kucinich.

I havent seen the evidence, just people saying it was Assad, and considering what the US did to Iraq AND Libya, is it REALLY being Assads bitch to wonder if maybe it was happening again? Answer honestly.

Consider that Assad gained literally nothing from the attacks, except more world scrutiny. Is that almost WIFOM? Kinda, yeah.

But her stated stance has always been anti-regime change, so sticking to her guns is different than literally going hey the money is good so who cares?
