Olmert: Pelosi Doesnt Speak For Israel
PMO Denies Peace Message To Assad
The Prime Minister's Office issued a rare "clarification" Wednesday that, in gentle diplomatic terms, contradicted US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's statement in Damascus that she had brought a message from Israel about a willingness to engage in peace talks.
According to the statement, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert emphasized in his meeting with Pelosi on Sunday that "although Israel is interested in peace with Syria, that country continues to be part of the Axis of Evil and a force that encourages terror in the entire Middle East."
Pelosi tells Assad: Israel ready to talk
Olmert, the statement clarified, told Pelosi that Syria's sincerity about a genuine peace with Israel would be judged by its willingness to "cease its support of terror, cease its sponsoring of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad organizations, refrain from providing weapons to Hizbullah and bringing about the destabilizing of Lebanon, cease its support of terror in Iraq, and relinquish the strategic ties it is building with the extremist regime in Iran."
The statement said Olmert had not communicated to Pelosi any change in Israeli policy on Damascus.
Pelosi, who met in Damascus with Syrian President Bashar Assad over the objections of US President George W. Bush, said she brought a message to Assad from Olmert saying that Israel was ready for peace talks.
"We were very pleased with the reassurances we received from the president [Assad] that he was ready to resume the peace process. He was ready to engage in negotiations for peace with Israel," Pelosi said after meeting Assad.
She said the meeting with the Syrian leader "enabled us to communicate a message from Prime Minister Olmert that Israel was ready to engage in peace talks as well."
According to officials in the Prime Minister's Office, however, this was not what transpired during her meeting with Olmert.
The officials said Olmert had told Pelosi that he thought her trip to Damascus was a mistake, and that when she asked - nevertheless - whether he had a message for Assad, Olmert said Syria should first stop supporting terrorism and "act like a normal country," and only then would Israel be willing to hold discussions.
The first part of that message, the officials said, was lost in what was reported from Damascus on Wednesday.
Pelosi said the congressional delegation she led raised the issue of kidnapped IDF soldiers Gilad Schalit, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev and conveyed "the importance of Syria's role in promoting peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis." She also said she had pressed Assad on Syrian support for Hamas and Hizbullah.
In a related development, Bahrain's Foreign Minister Sheikh Khalid Bin Ahmed al-Khalifa told the Bahrain daily Al-Ayam on Tuesday that the Riyadh Arab League summit set up "panels to communicate with all influential parties, including Israel, to activate the Arab Peace Initiative."
According to the Bahrain News Agency, Khalifa said the Arab League has formed "working teams to communicate with all parties, including Israel, the United Nations, the US, China and the European Union."

If it wasn't for the fact that she is screwing around with US foreign policy and hanging Israel out to dry this slap to Pelosi by Olmert would be laughable. She has proven that she is not only WAY out of her league but is a danger to the US and the world. She does not have a clue and her arrogance is dangerous!
Ken,
I kind of thought this would be coming when I heard this message from Pelosi yesterday.
I was thinking, WTF? Did Olmert really say that?
And I thought well if he didnt we will sure hear about it, and hear about it we did.
Now Israel is pissed.
Pelosi needs to get the hell out of there fast before she screws our Policy up so bad President Bush will have to undo all the damage this woman has caused.
Peace?? Such nonsense.
Toad,
Huh?
Spot on!..I posted on this dhimmi freak too!
Woman,
Nancy Pelosi is a disaster.
Syria think's they are Isolated no more and are probably popping the Champagne as we type!
And what a blunder made by Pelosi when she delivered the wrong message to Syria from Israel.
Holly Molly!
She runs around playing footsie with the terrorist's that are helping in one way or another to kill our Troops, but first before she runs off to play footsie, she wont fund the very Troops the Syrians are helping to kill!
The Democrats have got to go.
We will all be insane by '08 having to indure this nonsense.
Toad,
I had a peek at your blog that I wont respond to on there, the last thing I need is another moonbat or moonbats following me back here.
Let me remind you of something, Rumsfeld was shaking hands with Saddam Hussein because he was sent to Iraq on a mission from then President Gerald Ford. Rummy was Secretary of Defense for Ford. And at the time before Saddam went haywire he was our ally! So that picture you have is nothing! And holds absolutley no meaning NOW!
On to your next photo of Bush with the Saudi Prince, that IS the PRESIDENT'S job NOT the Speaker of the House's job to initiate and negotiate US Diplomacy and Policy with Heads of Foreign Countries unless the President has asked someone else to do it for him. Or the Secretary of State. Do you understand the difference? Bush is the President, Nancy is not! Is this sinking in yet?
Now your photo of Laura in headress, of course she is going to wear one when accompanying her husband on trips to the Middle East, or Muslim Countries because SHE IS THE FIRST LADY!! THE WIFE OF THE MAN ELECTED TO RUN THE COUNTRY!! THE COMMANDER-IN-CHEIF!! Laura wasnt accompanying her husband to discuss foreign policy.
All of the pictures you show on YOUR blog are completely unrelated to the Speaker of the House of Representatives running amuck in terrorist haven. And dreaming up new foreign policy, and trying to dump an unfounded peace plan in Israel and Syria's laps!!
Face it, Nancy blew it, you blew it, and the Democrats blew it by voting in these idiots that are trying to ruin our Country.
What a dufuss!
It looks like Olmert knows her alot better then 50 percent 0f the Americans do.
dd2,
Isnt that a shame?
I hope the other 50% have awakened from thier slumber.
All of the pictures you show on YOUR blog are completely unrelated to the Speaker of the House of Representatives running amuck in terrorist haven.
You'd think someone in the Democratic Party's camp would have briefed Pelosi Galore on the job description for "Speaker of the House".
Looks like Toad's on the move.
Word,
I agree. I didnt think Secretary of State was in Speaker Syriana Pelosi's job description.
I never met this Toad person till the other day, if I have I dont remember.
