DAMASCUS, Syria (CNN) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived Tuesday in the Syrian capital, where she is expected to tackle an issue complicating the U.S. mission in the Middle East -- Damascus' alleged support for militants in Iraq and Lebanon. Though her visit conjured a strong rebuke by the White House, Syria seemed to welcome the 67-year-old California Democrat. After arriving in Damascus, Pelosi visited a centuries-old market district, where she mingled with Syrians. She also visited the Omayyad mosque in Old Damascus, which is considered one of the most sacred sites in the capital. (Watch what the White House said last week about Pelosi's trip ) The Syrian media are hailing her visit as a potential breakthrough in icy U.S.-Syrian relations, with the Syria Times calling her a "brave lady on an invaluable mission." Even the state-run news agency harped on the importance of Pelosi's visit. Headlines from the Syrian Arab News Agency read: "World and Arab newspapers stress importance of Pelosi's visit to Syria" and "Pelosi describes her visit to Damascus as important." The House speaker is scheduled to meet with President Bashar Al-Assad on Wednesday, making her the highest-ranking American politician to meet with a Syrian leader in more than 12 years. In 1994, President Clinton sat down with Al-Assad's father, the late Syrian President Hafez Al-Assad.

The left is getting bolder now that they control congress. This is a preview of what will happen if they get a leftist president too. Giving in to jihadists will be the order of the day.

Breaking News.... Pelosi warmly received... followed by Bin Laden praised by Syrian leader, and new Syrian program to fund K-12 suicide bombers.

At least maybe the Syrians will get a good laugh when Pelosi and Waxman leave the room. I’d wager they’ve never seen faces on anything that looks quite like THAT, that hasn’t already gone through a bit of good-old-fashioned Islam-inspired torture.

There are three unsolvable mysteries in the universe:

Why do Jews vote Demonrat?

Why do blacks vote Demonrat?

Of course she did do you not think Frau Pelosi would not receive a great welcome from her al-Qaeda buddies?

Who’s got balls here, Pelosi or the President? After all, she went to Syria despite this law, knowing full well the President wouldn’t do a d_mn thing about it.

Fresh Post on FreeRepublic:

“Iraq-Syrian border: 21 Al Qaeda men killed ~ Iraqi security forces, backed by Sunni tribesmen”

...maybe they were running for their lives to get away from Pelosi!

I just got a scary thought. Belosi for VP.

Now that she's made history as first woman speaker, I wouldn't be surprised if she's contemplating a run for the Presidency. I think that's what this whole Syria trip is about. She's trying to look "presidential". All I can say is, God help us all if we can't find a Republican candidate to take the on the leftists.

And will any of this be used against her?
Nope. Not a thing.

For everyone is scared crapless to ‘offend’ the Dems, scared crapless to ‘uphold’ the Laws.

I make me sick.

But of course. Pelosi and her Islamic buddies have one very important thing in common — they both want to see the destruction of the United States.

Does this mean that they burned an effigy of her? I thought that the opinion of America was AWFUL overseas. Ohhhhhhh! It’s only awful if you’re talking about President Bush.

In other words, the opinion of President Bush is awful in the Middle East, but they like our traitors. Well, that is just plain common sense. Like I said on another thread, maybe we can make a trade. They can keep Pelosi if they give us the WMD’s they are hiding from Saddam.
