That Pelosi Visit To Syria: Why?

Filed under: No Free Lunch,Pelosi, Nancy,Shuttle Diplomacy — OUT @ 3:55 pm

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, back in early April, took a quick trip to Syria.

At the time, she supposedly delivered a botched message from Israel that they were ready for peace talks with Syria, which Jerusalem promptly denied.

The Washington Post called it Pratfall in Damascus.

Looking back, that reason for her visit was a thin tissue that blew away under the first faint breeze. Anybody who watches the power players come and go knows there must have been a more durable, industrial strength reason for a major trip like that.

Even in Baltimore and San Francisco, they know that.

So, what was the real reason she jetted off to Damascus?

What message, what offer did she really carry to the Syrian leader?

And who was she acting for?
