To Syria ?
By Micah Halpern

Tuesday April 3, 2007

I've Been Thinking:

On the day before United States Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi visited Damascus, three bigwig guests paid surprise visits to the palace of Syrian President Bashar Assad. The president saw them all.

The three visitors were also members of the U.S. House of Representatives. The three visitors were all Republican Congressmen.
Bigwig # 1: Virginia Republican Frank Wolf.
Bigwig # 2: Pennsylvania Republican Joe Pitts.
Bigwig # 3: Alabama Republican Robert Aderholt.

What were they doing there?
They said they took their lead from Ronald Reagan when he went and spoke to the Soviets.

This is what the congressmen say they spoke about:
Item # 1: Ending support for Hezbollah and Hamas
Item # 2: Recognizing Israel's right to exist
Item # 3: Stopping Syrian interference in Lebanon
Item # 4: Stopping the flow of fighters into Iraq

As for Assad's response - he's not saying.
