Dennis Kucinich went to Syria glad handing Bajar Assad and slamming U.S. foreign policy.
Taking the lead from Nancy Pelosi, Kucinich is acting as though the U.S. is wrong and that the terrorist
activities of Syria are just fine with him.
The Bush administration has accused Syria's leaders of allowing terrorists to use their country as a staging area for sending fighters, weapons and other material into Iraq since the start of the war.
It is criminal and antiAmerican that these politicians go to foreign countries and undermine the U.S.A.

US envoy: Syria a terrorist hub for Iraq

The Bush administration's top envoy in Iraq warned Monday that U.S. "patience is running out" with Syrian interference across the border, and refused to rule out either a military strike or punishment through the United Nations, AP reported.
Syria has become a hub for terrorists, as young, would-be terrorists travel unmolested through the Damascus airport on one-way tickets, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad said. The United States also accuses Syria of turning a blind eye to terror training camps on its soil.
"Our patience is running out, the patience of Iraqis are running out. The time for decision ... has arrived for Damascus," Khalilzad told reporters at the State Department.
The tough talk is part of a U.S. campaign to increase pressure on Syria in several foreign capitals and at the U.N. General Assembly this week in New York.
Syria's alleged role in exporting terrorism or political repression to Iraq, the Palestinian territories and Lebanon is a subject of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's discussions with several leaders at the U.N. gathering.
State Department spokesman Adam Ereli echoed Khalilzad later Monday.
"What we're looking for is, as Ambassador Khalilzad said, is a decision by the government of Syria to get serious about preventing its territory from being used by insurgents and others bent on destabilizing Iraq and killing innocent Iraqis."
