A state-run Syrian newspaper on Saturday criticized remarks made recently by US Senator Bill Nelson after visiting Syria, accusing him of spreading "a series of lies" about his meeting with the Syrian leader.
Nelson told reporters in neighboring Lebanon Thursday following a meeting with Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora that he and Syrian President Bashar Assad, whom he met Wednesday in Damascus, did not see eye to eye on Lebanon.

Tishrin government newspaper said in a front-page editorial Saturday that Nelson's remarks "have exceeded all limits ... He has released a series of lies which he claimed happened during the meeting with Assad. All these allegations are baseless and did not occur at all."

Note to "Know it All" Sen Nelson,
You should have listened to the President and the State Dept.
did he meet, then the govt lies so Nelson faces lesser criticism from home?
Nelson stuck his hand in the toilet bowl... he deserves whatever sticks to it.
Were it not for his "handlers" he would simply wander off somewhere and get lost in a fog of his own creation.
The abcess of evil
This turd Nelson just got re-elected to another term in the US Senate - what a jerk!
Lie down with dogs . . . .
Will Kerry, Dodd and Spectator change their minds about going?
Its going to be very difficult to sort out which one of these two is the real liar. But we know who the idiots are. I hope all the conservatives in Florida that voted for Bill Nelson are happy.
Gee, who to believe; a terrorist or a Dem?
I LOVE THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe Assad wants to preempt all those Dems who want to visit for a photo op.
SO DO I!!!!
I thought they were the same? OK, I'll have to take a look again.
If their votes were part of the "we'll teach them a lesson" group, I have to say--boy, what a lesson.
Kum Bay Yah.....Kum bay Yah...
I hope one gets taken as a hostage..then watch them whine...
How about a note to Benedict Specter, who announced he is going to Iran for talks on Middle East policy?
How about a note to John F'n "I Was In Vietnam" sKerry, who announced he is going to Egypt for talks on Middle East policy?
How about a note to all Congressman: You do not go overseas with the intent of creating foreign policy in your image!!
This kind of stuff is incredibly dangerous. I am not sure about illegal, but getting real close to meeting with the enemy.
Sen Nelson and Assad..........BOTH are liars and both are ANTI-AMERICAN.
This might be a good example why Baker's plan to talk to terrorist's is just so stupid.
