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.

No make-up?
Head wrapped in a hejab in subjogation to the biggest oppressors of women in the world?

A victory for US women, Madam Speaker?

*snort* Warm welcome? I daresay MOST Lebanese would have no idea who she is, unless someone told them. In that way, they’re not unlike most Americans.

“Hasn’t been invoked since 1803.”
Hasn’t been used since 1803? Neither has Pelosi.

Now that she's made history as first woman speaker, I wouldn't be surprised if she's contemplating a run for the Presidency.

Mrs. Bill Clinton would break her kneecaps.

Well, of course Nancy would receive a warm welcome in Syria. They just LOVE the enemies of America.

That's what we want. What does Syria want?

Of course, isn’t she one of them. Since giving up on defending communists they have chosen terrorists as their next buddy.
