White House Criticizes Pelosi’s Trip to Syria

ABC News’ Jonathan Karl Reports: At today’s White House briefing, Deputy Press Secretary Dana Perino strongly criticized Pelosi’s planned visit Syria, saying, "We think it is a really bad idea."

"People should take a stop back and think about the message it sends and the message it sends to our allies," Perino added.

Perino said she did not know if anybody in the administration had spoken directly to Pelosi to discourage the trip.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with Nancy Pelosi visiting Syria. Given her political upbringing and her position in the Congress I don’t have any qualms about her visiting and talking to Syria. We all do not live in Bush’s bubble, nor do we wish to –perhaps she will convey what Americans think and feel better than has been conveyed with this incompentent administration.
