Today on Frank Gaffney’s Secure Freedom Radio, Christopher Holton of the Center for Security Policy concludes today’s show by enlightening us about what he refers to as the “symbolic” sanctions placed on Syria. According to Holton, in 2004, 2006, and 2008 President Bush signed orders to cut off all trade to Syria. Thus, he argues that further sanctions, such as freezing al-Assad’s foreign assets are more of a symbolic gesture than a meaningful action. He also discusses with Frank how revenues gathered from the Law of the Sea Treaty might benefit nations such as Cuba and Syria. Additionally, he discusses the Center for Security Policy’s Divest Terror campaign, in which he urges Congress to not invest in businesses and companies that support terrorist regimes.
