Has the White House said anything? I haven’t heard but might have missed it. The Pres. needs to address the nation or do something to condemn this.
According to an editorial in yesterday's New York Post (apparently not on their web site), there are these quotes from White House spokeswoman Dana Perrino:
"It sends the wrong message to have high-level U. S. officials going to [Syria] to have photo opportunities that Assad then exploits."
"We ask that people not go on these trips... We discourage it. Full stop."
