A Republican sees Congressional visits to Syria for what they REALLY are

O.M.G... a sane republican voice...

Following his meeting with Moallem, [Congressman Darrell Issa, R-CA] told reporters that he had a "constructive" meeting with Assad, adding that discussions covered many issues.

He said the US Congress members who have recently visited Syria believe that the dialogue they have begun with Damascus "will go on continuously and constructively."

"I have no illusions. We have serious problems to be resolved, but we will resolve them," he said.

He said Pelosi has made clear that the US Congress would continue to carry out fact-finding and to keep the dialogue open. He stressed that the dialogue would continue "leading to better understanding."

Asked to comment on Bush's criticism of the congressmen's visits to Damascus, Issa said: "President Bush is the head of state, but he hasn't encouraged dialogue. That's an important message to realize: we have tensions, but we have two functioning embassies."
