White House decries senators' visits to Syria
Excerpts:
"The White House on Thursday stepped up its pressure on senators who are engaged in direct talks with Syrian leaders, saying their trips to Damascus risk undermining U.S. efforts to encourage democracy in the Middle East.
On Wednesday, the administration criticized Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) shortly after he met with Assad in Damascus.
On Thursday, Snow extended that criticism to two other Democratic senators, Christopher J. Dodd of Connecticut and John F. Kerry of Massachusetts, and a Republican, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania.
He (Snow) said that regardless of the message delivered by the senators, "the Syrians have already won a PR victory" because the visits were "lending … legitimacy" to the Assad government."
As I said, they are guilty of treason, giving aid and comfort to the terrorists and undermining our War against the terrorists and terrorist nations.
Anyone surprised by this game being played by Democrats with inflated egos? The quislings are frothing to stab America in the back while trying to elbow for position on the Democrat hunt for POTUS and VP.
