Pelosi’s Road To Damascus
March 30, 2007 at 5:39 pm
No doubting where the White House stands on Nancy Pelosi’s Syria trip.
Dana Perino at today’s White House news briefing:
… we discourage members of Congress to make such visits to Syria. This is a country that is a state sponsor of terror, one that is trying to disrupt the Siniora government in Lebanon, and one that is allowing foreign fighters to flow into Iraq from its borders. And so we don’t think it’s productive to go to Syria and try to — well, I don’t know what she’s trying to accomplish
and
… we don’t think it’s a good idea. We think that someone should take a step back and think about the message that it sends, and the message that it sends to our allies. I’m not sure what the hopes are to — what she’s hoping to accomplish there. I know that Assad probably really wants people to come and have a photo opportunity and have tea with him, and have discussions about where they’re coming from, but we do think that’s a really bad idea.
Perino continues to show backbone on fighting the war on terrorism.
