Remember this trip: Pelosi tours Damascus Updated 4/5/2007 12:36 PM U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, left, shakes hand with Muslim women inside the Umayyad mosque during a tour in Damascus Tuesday. President Bush voiced displeasure with Pelosi's trip to Syria, saying it sends mixed signals to the region and to the government of President Bashar Assad. By Jamal Saidi, Reuters. DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi mingled with Syrians in a market and made the sign of the cross at a Christian tomb Tuesday as she began a trip to Syria aimed at opening dialogue with its leader, Bashar Assad. President George W. Bush criticized the visit, saying it sends mixed signals to Damascus. Pelosi's visit was a new high-profile challenge to Bush by the majority Democrats in Congress, who are taking a more assertive role in influencing policy in the Middle East and the Iraq war. The United States accuses Syria of interfering in Lebanon, allowing Iraqi Sunni insurgents to operate from its territory and sponsoring terrorism for its backing of the Hamas and Hezbollah militant groups — charges Syria denies. The Bush administration has resisted calls to open direct talks with Damascus to convince it to help ease the crisis in Iraq and bring progress in the peace process with Israel. usatoday30.usatoday.com
