Pelosi, A Hero — in Syria
Nancy Pelosi is a hero — in Syria!  The Washington Times  reports on the extent of the aid and comfort that Ms. Pelosi extended to the enemy:
Many Damascus residents say her private visit (last month) with Mr. Assad and senior ministers shattered Washington’s attempt to isolate the regime.
“She was enormously popular here, a hero,” said one such resident, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “This is the best thing that has happened here, if it proves [Mr. Assad] was right not to give concessions.”
More than burnishing the regime’s image in Syria, Mrs. Pelosi is seen as the well-dressed woman who stood up to President Bush, possibly the most unpopular figure in the Arab world after former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
