    Queen Nancy Aids Our Enemies - Again


    DAMASCUS, Syria (April 4) - U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi met Syrian President Bashar Assad Wednesday for talks criticized by the White House as undermining American efforts to isolate the hard-line Arab country

    The California Democrat and accompanying members of Congress began their day by holding separate talks with Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem and Vice President Farouk al-Sharaa and then met Assad, who hosted them for lunch after their talks.

    Pelosi's visit to Syria was the latest challenge to the White House by congressional Democrats, who are taking a more assertive role in influencing policy in the Middle East and the Iraq war.

    Bush has said Pelosi's trip signals that the Assad government is part of the international mainstream when it is not. The United States says Syria allows Iraqi Sunni insurgents to operate from its territory, backs the Hezbollah and Hamas militant groups and is trying to destabilize the Lebanese government. Syria denies the allegations.

    "A lot of people have gone to see President Assad ... and yet we haven't seen action. He hasn't responded," he told reporters soon after she arrived in Damascus Tuesday. "Sending delegations doesn't work. It's simply been counterproductive."

    Pelosi did not comment on Bush's remarks but went for a stroll in the Old City district of Damascus, where she mingled with Syrians in a market.

    Wearing a flowered head scarf and a black abaya robe, Pelosi visited the 8th-century Omayyad Mosque. She made the sign of the cross in front of an elaborate tomb which is said to contain the head of John the Baptist. About 10 percent of Syria's 18 million people are Christian.

    At the nearby outdoor Bazouriyeh market, Syrians crowded around, offering her dried figs and nuts and chatting with her. She bought some coconut sweets and looked at jewelry and carpets.

    On Tuesday night, Pelosi met Syrian human rights activists, businessmen and religious leaders at the U.S. ambassador's residence.

    Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem was quoted Wednesday as saying that Pelosi and other members of Congress were "welcome" in Syria.

    "Better late than never," he told the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Anba in an interview. He said the visits were taking place because Americans and Europeans had realized that their policy of trying to isolate Syria had failed.

    However, the Syrian ambassador to Washington, Imad Moustapha, was quoted as saying Syria was "wary of the sudden U.S. openness" and would respond cautiously. "Syria will take a step forward every time the Americans take one," he added.

    Democrats have argued that the U.S. should engage its top rivals in the Mideast _ Iran and Syria _ to make headway in easing crises in Iraq, Lebanon and the Israeli-Arab peace process. Last year, the bipartisan Iraq Study Group recommended talks with the two countries.

    Bush rejected the recommendations. But in February, the U.S. joined a gathering of regional diplomats in Baghdad that included Iran and Syria for talks on Iraq.

    Visiting neighboring Lebanon on Monday, Pelosi shrugged off White House criticism of her trip to Syria, noting that Republican lawmakers met Assad on Sunday without comment from the Bush administration.

    She said she hoped to rebuild lost confidence between Washington and Damascus and would tell Syrian leaders that Israel will talk peace with them only if Syria stops supporting Palestinian militants. She said she also would raise Syria's roles in Iraq and Lebanon and their support for the Hezbollah militant group.

    "We have no illusions but we have great hope," said Pelosi, who met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank city of Ramallah earlier Tuesday.

    Relations between the U.S. and Syria reached a low point in early 2005 when Washington withdrew its ambassador to Damascus to protest the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Many Lebanese blamed Syria -- which had troops in Lebanon at the time -- for the assassination. Damascus denied involvement.

    Washington has since succeeded in largely isolating Damascus, with its European and Arab allies shunning Assad. The last high-ranking U.S. official to visit Syria was then-Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage in January 2005.

    The isolation, however, has begun to crumble in recent months, with visits by U.S. lawmakers and some European officials.

    What a class act by the secular progressive socialist scumbag as she undermines the CIC, our troops and our way of life. We really do need to bring the sedition act back but fat chance with the Democommiecratic Party in majority! May the traitorous leftest biatch rot in hell! I reckon she figured that if it worked for John Hanoi Kerry and Hanoi Jane which it did , it will work for her.

    The bigger issue here is why would a US president ignore most of the world and only focus on Iraq?

    Because of that policy, we have big changes in CALA (Chavez), lost leadership in many areas of the world and harsh(er) relations globally.

    That kind of leadership is very questionable (what Mr. Bush has been presenting)

    Let's all hope and pray that some nut-case suicide bomber will approach her, shake her hand, and at the same time release the trigger on his C-4 vest.

    BOOM!!!

    Then we could say the terrorists finally did something right!

    Really?

    Israeli acting president defends Pelosi Syria trip

    JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel's acting president defended on Sunday U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's planned visit to Syria, a trip the White House described as a bad idea.


    Pelosi, speaking at a dinner hosted by Acting President Dalia Itzik, said she would raise with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad the issue of three captive Israeli soldiers, two held by Lebanon's Hezbollah group and one by Palestinian militants.


    "Your expected visit to Damascus has naturally touched off a political debate in your country, and of course, here," Itzik said in televised remarks.

    "I believe in your worthy intentions. Perhaps a step, seen as unpopular at this stage ... will clarify to the Syrian people and leadership they must abandon the axis of evil (and) stop supporting terrorism and giving shelter to (terrorist) headquarters," said Itzik, a member of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's centrist Kadima party.

    The White House on Friday condemned Pelosi's plans to visit Syria this week and meet Assad, who the United States has accused of helping destabilize the region.


    "We don't think it's a good idea," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said, calling Syria a supporter of terrorism and accusing it of trying to disrupt the Lebanese government and allowing foreign fighters to pass through its borders to Iraq.


    Pelosi, who met Olmert earlier in the day, held aloft during her dinner speech in parliament replicas of the dog-tags of the three captive soldiers.

    "They (the dog-tags) are in my office, I carry them with me today, with the promise that we must never rest until they are all safely at home. And yes, I will mention this to the president of Syria," said Pelosi, the top House Democrat.

    Hezbollah guerrillas, in a cross-border raid in July, seized two Israeli soldiers on the Lebanon frontier, triggering a 34-day war with Israel. Palestinian militants, tunneling under the border from Gaza, took a soldier captive last June.


    Despite the Bush administration opposition, the State Department said it had briefed Pelosi's staff and was prepared to help on the ground in Syria.

    A handful of Republican and Democratic lawmakers visited Damascus and met Assad in December after the bipartisan Iraq Study Group recommended a stepped-up diplomatic effort involving Syria and Iran to help calm the violence in Iraq.


    The Bush administration has resisted that recommendation and condemned the lawmakers' visits.

    Syria has denied it allows insurgents to cross over from its territory into Iraq and argues Iraq and the United States have not done enough to police the border.

    I think that the talking beats the bombing. We can't bomb the whole world. It is not a scaleable solution. What/who would be left?

    We have to pick our spots on where to engage the enemy with fire power. I think by now most nations don't want their country looking like Iraq does, so diplomacy should work. And when it doesn't...

    tha ****ing ***** is what i have to say..

    who the **** does she think she is. It really disgusts me to have this woman go and meet people on a diplomatic means.

    I mean its the president and the state department who does international affairs??/ I dont see bush excusing her from her chair and voting in congress..

    this disgusts me so much to have a woman disregard and know her place.

    It seems that there are a lot of Pro Bush people on this site----or they are just loyal, completely and blindly, to the Commander in chief! We "OLD TIMERS have had our Viet Nam! Why should our finest Marines have to endure that again? Think about it Marines, we, as a country, can't afford to continue this war forever!

    I don't understand this whole NANCY thing, but I do understand economics! You don't have to be a Rocket scientist to see that some people are getting richer from this war! After all, there is this old saying, 'THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WIN DURING A WAR IS THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE THE WEAPONS AND AMMO"!

    Think about it Marines.

    So, let me see if I got this right, if it was a man named Newt (or who ever), it would be more acceptable?
