Pelosi Fooled on the Tax Payers Bank roll

April 5, 2007

The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi told Bashar al-Assad in Damascus that she had delivered a message from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that “Israel was ready to engage in peace talks” with Syria.

“We expressed our interest in using our good offices in promoting peace between Israel and Syria,” she said.

The only missing piece in Pelosi puzzlew is that the Israeli prime minister entrusted Ms. Pelosi with no such message. “What was communicated to the U.S. House Speaker does not contain any change in the policies of Israel,” said a statement quickly issued by the prime minister’s office.

From the Washington Post:

Mr. Olmert told Ms. Pelosi that “a number of Senate and House members who recently visited Damascus received the impression that despite the declarations of Bashar Assad, there is no change in the position of his country regarding a possible peace process with Israel.” In other words, Ms. Pelosi not only misrepresented Israel’s position but was virtually alone in failing to discern that Mr. Assad’s words were mere propaganda.

Its great to know that our fearless leader has such diplomatic skills.
