WASHINGTON (AFP) - US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, fresh from a controversial trip to Syria last week, has "no intention" of visiting Iran, her office said Wednesday, as the White House condemned any such plan.

"The Speaker has no intention of going to Iran," Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly said by e-mail after a senior lawmaker and close ally who accompanied her to Damascus seemed to float the idea in a press conference.

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino had said earlier that, with fresh US charges that Iran is helping to kill US forces in Iraq, "it's troubling that some Democrats are making travel arrangements to visit Tehran."

Speculation arose late Tuesday when House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Tom Lantos (news, bio, voting record) told reporters he had been trying for more than a decade to get a visa to visit Iran, declaring: "Speaking just for myself, I'm ready to go."

"The Speaker has no intention of going to Iran,"

No intention, huh? But if circumstances absolutely require it, then yes. Sounds like a non-denial denial to me. Or more likely, a lie.

Ben Laden is the one she wants to go apologize to anyway

Syria isn't helping to kill US forces in Iraq? It's the freakin' staging ground for the entire Sunni insurgency.

Instead, she’ll meet with AhmcNutJob down at Hugo Chavez’s place.

Too bad Dracula!

Yes, they have - temporarily - delayed their slithering to Tehran to slobberingly kiss the rings on the fingers of the homicidal/genocidal president and mullahs.

They forever covered themselves with self-inflicted slime with their kissing of the rings of those in Damascus.

That putrid coating will not wash off. Nor will it be covered up by Pelosi’s army of make-up artists and million dollar wardrobe.

Nancy's actions were a direct violation of law and a vile repudiation of those, who voted for GW in 2004. History make look at this as a critical moment when our Civil War II went from cold to hot. This was a direct act of terrorism against our constitution and the voters for GW.

Pelosi is so stupid, she'd probably never heard of the "Logan Act" until after she got back from Syria, and now she's afraid to go to Iran. IF not for that, she would have one foot on her plane already. IF the Republicans weren't such wimps they would already have the skank locked up!

That short skirt she wore to meet with 'long neck' Assad must have sent shock waves throughout the Muslim world. IF any of them didn't already want to kill us, after seeing her legs all the way up to her tonsils, they probably want to kill us now. Wouldn't that be grounds for rape and stoning in Islam? Where are the Koranimals when you need them. LOL!

I was looking forward to seeing San Fran Nan’s “confessions” just like we heard from the British soldiers. Only this time, they wouldn’t have to force anyone to say anything.
