WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former President Jimmy Carter expressed his support for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Syria, rejecting White House criticism of the visit.
"I was glad that she went," Carter said Wednesday. "When there is a crisis, the best way to help resolve the crisis is to deal with the people who are instrumental in the problem."
Pelosi arrived in Syria on Tuesday, in an attempt to open direct dialogue with Syria's leader, something President Bush opposes. Pelosi also discussed with President Bashar Al-Assad concerns about Syria's support for militant groups.
Bush on Tuesday called the trip "counterproductive" and said it would send mixed signals.
"Photo opportunities and/or meetings with President Assad lead the Assad government to believe they're part of the mainstream of the international community, when, in fact, they're a state sponsor of terror," he said at a news conference in the White House's Rose Garden.

Jimmah would look good in a scarf/Hijab like that.
I’d be happier if she stayed there, and took Cahtah along with her.

It strengthened Assad's position in the international community, clouded Israel's position on Syria through delivery of an ficticious offer of negotiation, I'd think Jimmah would support the mission.
Yes, this is hardly shocking. But, on the positive side, the more MSM reporting on Pelosi’s trip, the worse she and the ‘Rats look on national security issues. And now with the trip associated with Carter’s warm approval, that should hurt them even more.
Id expect nothing less from this nimrod.
