Useful Idiot, Senator Nelson, Visits Syria

Florida Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson visited Syrian President Assad in Damascus today after the State Department and White House disapproved of the trip.

Assad "clearly indicated a willingness to cooperate" in controlling its border with Iraq, Nelson told reporters in a conference call following the meeting. 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, D-Mass., Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., and Arlen Specter, R-Pa., to also visit Syria.

Our saviors, the Democrats...
