    Senate Democrat Defies Bush, Visits Syria

    WASHINGTON, Dec. 13, 2006
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (AP) In a direct affront to the Bush administration, a Democratic senator spent an hour Wednesday with Syrian President Bashar Assad in Damascus, asking him to do more to stabilize Iraq.

    Sen. 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. The United States has limited diplomatic ties with Syria because of its support of Hezbollah and Hamas, which the U.S. deems terrorist organizations, and President Bush has expressed reluctance to seek help from Damascus on Iraq until the Syrians curb that support and reduce their influence in Lebanon.

    Assad "clearly indicated a willingness to cooperate" in controlling its border with Iraq, Nelson told reporters in a conference call following the meeting with Assad. The U.S. says foreign fighters often enter Iraq across that boundary.

    Nelson said he reported the information to embassy officials and will brief his congressional committees on the trip. He said he expects Sens. John Kerry, Christopher Dodd and Arlen Specter to also visit Syria.

    The White House said it does not encourage members of Congress to travel to Syria.

    "We don't think that members of Congress ought to be going there," White House press secretary Tony Snow said, adding that the United States continues to denounce Syria's meddling in Lebanon and its ties to terrorist groups...

    "Do as we say, not as we do"- Liberal/Democrat party mantra

    The year is 1994 when the logan act is ammended.

    The government that year, looks like this;

    President: Bill Clinton, democrat

    Vice President: Al Gore, democrat

    House of Representatives: 258-176, democrats

    Congress: 57-43, democrats

    So the logan act, ammended in 1994 under democrat house, senate and presidency is ignored by guess who? A democrat. And when the call comes for this punks resignation, guess what hippocrites will come to his aid?

    Democrats.

    Bill Nelson is an asswipe. Hopefully the Syrians will offer him citizenship.
