The Prime Minister's Office issued a rare "clarification" Wednesday that, in gentle diplomatic terms, contradicted US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's statement in Damascus that she had brought a message from Israel about a willingness to engage in peace talks.
According to the statement, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert emphasized in his meeting with Pelosi on Sunday that "although Israel is interested in peace with Syria, that country continues to be part of the Axis of Evil and a force that encourages terror in the entire Middle East."
Olmert, the statement clarified, told Pelosi that Syria's sincerity about a genuine peace with Israel would be judged by its willingness to "cease its support of terror, cease its sponsoring of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad organizations, refrain from providing weapons to Hizbullah and bringing about the destabilizing of Lebanon, cease its support of terror in Iraq, and relinquish the strategic ties it is building with the extremist regime in Iran."
The statement said Olmert had not communicated to Pelosi any change in Israeli policy on Damascus.
Pelosi, who met in Damascus with Syrian President Bashar Assad over the objections of US President George W. Bush, said she brought a message to Assad from Olmert saying that Israel was ready for peace talks.
"We were very pleased with the reassurances we received from the president [Assad] that he was ready to resume the peace process. He was ready to engage in negotiations for peace with Israel," Pelosi said after meeting Assad.
She said the meeting with the Syrian leader "enabled us to communicate a message from Prime Minister Olmert that Israel was ready to engage in peace talks as well."
According to officials in the Prime Minister's Office, however, this was not what transpired during her meeting with Olmert.

Whooda thunk it? What a slimey, self-serving bitch! Yet, American Jews will flock to the polls every election day and vote for these sworn enemies of Israel. Something (guilt? self-loathing?) is definitely wrong with these people.

There's more going on here than it appears on the surface. Ha’aretz is a left wing rag, but it should shed some light on Pelosi’s and Olmert’s comments. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/813817.html In a series of secret meetings in Europe between September 2004 and July 2006, Syrians and Israelis formulated understandings for a peace agreement between Israel and Syria. The main points of the understandings are as follows: An agreement of principles will be signed between the two countries, and following the fulfillment of all commitments, a peace agreement will be signed. Advertisement As part of the agreement on principles, Israel will withdraw from the Golan Heights to the lines of 4 June, 1967. The timetable for the withdrawal remained open: Syria demanded the pullout be carried out over a five-year period, while Israel asked for the withdrawal to be spread out over 15 years.

Let’s see, what exactly does Syria have to give up? State sponsored terrorism? And Israel has to give up land? Let’s be realistic here shall we? Syria will never give up terrorism. The ME is getting ready to blow up, I say some time this summer. Hezzies seem to like war in the summertime.

I wont say Nancy Lied. Thats too easy. I believe she allowed her naiveite’ and her puffed up ego to let her hear what she wanted to hear of Mr. Olmert and then she stupidly went to Syria and told what she thought she heard.
Nancy isnt used to diplo-speak,she isnt a trained diplomat and she is just a stupid American liberal who got in way over her head. She is like the novice swimmer who doesnt know about rip tides and went out swimming in the deep ocean. As a Congressman She makes a good liberal Democrat Grandmother. She should stick to what she is good at.

Sort of like "don't try this at home."
This is why amateurs shouldn't dabble in foreign policy or military strategy. I will be surprised if she hasn't worsened things with this visit.
