Good to know that Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Damascus accomplished something, hey? Yeah, that “road to peace runs through Damascus” bull really works.
“If Israel rejects the Arab League peace proposal, resistance will be the only way to liberate the Golan Heights,” warns Syrian Information Minister Muhsen Bilal, at a press conference in Damascus Monday.
The minister explained that Syria had an interest in renewing talks with Israel with support from America and Russia. “Syria wants to reach a fair, comprehensive peace,” he added. However, he also stated that “any nation living under occupation has the prerogative to resist. In Lebanon, Palestine and Iraq, we must liberate all occupied Arab land.”
Bilal blamed Israel for causing instability in the Middle East.
Of course. Nothing about Syria supplying, supporting, and training terrorists, taking over Lebanon, murdering Lebanese democrats and journalists, sending weapons to Iraq to murder Americans, joining Iran in its quest to destroy Israel—nope, it’s all Israel’s fault, that instability.
But hey, at least Pelosi gave Assad a great photo-op.
It’s all Karl Rove’s fault. He is actually the one telling Nancy Pelosi what to do in order to ensure that the Republicans win the election in 2008.

Might be worth remembering Gen. David Elezar’s remark during the Yom Kippur War that the road from Damascus to Tel Aviv also runs from Tel Aviv to Damascus.
Well, the Syrians have said they’re for peace and now any Israeli response short of satisfying them will be chalked up to yet another instance of Israeli intransigence.
The Syrians want peace Meryl -ON THEIR TERMS !
Someone should point out to the Syrians that they already have peace with Israel. There are no Jews, funded, supported and based in Israel, who seek out Syrian civilians for mass terror attacks. The Syrians have no concept of peace that remotely resembles what we in the west know it to be.
