White House criticizes Pelosi's planned Syria visit
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The White House has criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's plans to stop in Syria next week during a Middle East trip that began Friday. She will be the highest-ranking U.S. official to visit Syria since relations deteriorated between Damascus and Washington.
The United States has accused Syria of aiding the Sunni insurgency in western Iraq with weapons and fighters. Syria also is accused of supporting the militant extremist groups Hezbollah, a Shiite political party and militia, and Hamas.
"We think that someone should take a step back and think about the message that it sends ... to our allies."
The US encouraged Savak, who routinely tortured students in the Middle East by shoving broken alcohol bottles up their bums, I was told by the friend of a victim, so surely Nancy Pelosi won't be much of a threat. But then, I'm not a Republican, so I don't know from personal experience.
IMO: I think it would be a good idea if senior Washington people had a first hand view of Syria's problems.
