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.

I don’t suppose she asked Assad where he hid Saddam’s WMDs, did she?

Shhh. She's on a secret spy mission. She even brought John Kerry's magic hat.

Alot of US jews despise Israel and actually want Israel to dissolve its borders and join with Palestine to form one state (which would mean suicide for Israel). Many of these jews are nonpracticing or agnostic. To put it into perspective, many of those in the antiwar protests are jewish (But don’t activly practice the religion).

This virago reminds me of an apparent defect in our system of punitive justice. The lack of whipping.

The images shown of her visit on Matt Drudge give me the impression they are not taking her all that too seriously over there.
