And Now, Historic Photo Ops With Senator Bill Nelson
"Fan-tastic!"
In a direct affront to the Bush administration, a Democratic United States senator spent an hour Wednesday with Syrian President Bashar Assad in Damascus, asking him to do more to stabilize Iraq.
Senator Bill Nelson, a member of the Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, met with Assad after the State Department said that it disapproved of his trip.
"...so I decided to go with the middle-eastern motif."
Well, at least he didn't come away empty-handed:
"President Assad has clearly indicated a willingness to cooperate."
Indicated a willingness? Wow! Now, that's historic, baby!
