Support for the actions of the Dem leadership continues to flow in from America's enemies around the world.
Last week, Al Qaeda's #2, Ayman al-Zawahri, said a Dem-sponsored bill calling for a troop withdrawal from Iraq was proof of America's defeat.
Now, the leader of Syria's thugocracy has weighed in, defending House Speaker Nancy Pelosi [D-Ca.] against criticism of her recent tête-à-tête with him.
NBC's Ann Curry has followed ABC's Diane Sawyer's footsteps to Damascus, interviewing Bashar Assad. An excerpt of the interview aired during the first half-hour of this morning's "Today." It included this exchange.
NBC CORRESPONDENT ANN CURRY: The Bush administration harshly criticized Nancy Pelosi for meeting with you last month. Vice-President Cheney accused her of having "bad behavior." You're smiling. Why do you smile?
SYRIAN RULER BASHIR ASSAD: It's a funny description to say it's bad behavior, because I think the other way: she was doing her job as an American official in a very high position. She wants to know what's going on.

The screencap shows Assad literally laughing at the notion that anyone would criticize Pelosi for conducting her own foreign policy in meeting with him.
So there you have it. Bashir Assad, scholar of the American constitution and the separation of powers, riding to Nancy's defense. Look for him soon in a DNC ad: "Democrats - Doing Our Job. Don't believe us? Ask Bashir Assad."
ASIDE: Assad wins the award as The World's Most Soft-Spoken Sponsor of Terrorism. So mild-mannered, an IED wouldn't melt in his mouth.

Assad-defends-Pelosi ping to Today show list.
So hard these days to tell what is real and what is satire. The Dems and MSM continue to set new standards for comical behavior.
I wonder how Assad would react to some official from his opposition party trying to conduct business with President Bush.
Thanks for reporting and commenting. GREAT. BUMP!
He would issue a public statement regretting his unfortunate passing.
Thanks, PG: hope I made the DNC’s day ;-)
Pelosi is a disgrace.
That whirring sound you hear is Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Adams spinning in their graves.
The GOP should produce a campaign commercial showing the murdererous and terrorist acts conducted on behalf of Assad woven together with his smile and words regarding Pelosi.
The only difference between the two is that baby Assad is more pro-American than Pelosi.
