"Charlie, you act as though Mrs. Pelosi went over to Syria all by herself!
Not only was she accompanied by State Department officials, but 3 Republicans were part of the House delegation.
What do you have to say about Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-AL), Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA), and Reps. David Hobson (R-OH)?
And what about this statement they released from the U.S. Embassy in Syria....
"The U.S. House members, who included Virginia Republican Frank Wolf, Pennsylvania Republican Joe Pitts and Alabama Republican Robert Aderholt, also said they had raised with Syrian officials the issue of stopping the alleged flow of foreign fighters from Syria to Iraq.
In a statement issued by the U.S. Embassy in Damascus, the congressmen said they had talked about "ending support for Hezbollah and Hamas, recognizing Israel's right to exist in peace and security, and ceasing interference in Lebanon."
"We came because we believe there is an opportunity for dialogue," the statement said. "We are following in the lead of Ronald Reagan, who reached out to the Soviets during the Cold War," it added. "

A Senate delegation comprised of Republicans AND Democrats are off to Syria next!
Any thoughts on everyone else that participated in this, and the fact the Senate is going next, or do you only think about Madame Speaker?
