It goes back further than 2009.
Look up "Nancy Pelosi John Kerry Assad Syria 2007" .
After that look up "Nancy Pelosi Ahmadinejad Iran 2007" .
A said Amadinejad was singing. I wonder what he has to say about his meetings with Pelosi. "
Oh, BTW, Assad was a "celebrity dahling" during that time. This article from Vogue has been permanently "disappeared" from Vogue's websjte.
