Good for her...she broke ranks. 
You mean Assad might not be as bad as Obomba said he was?
"The revelation by a US Democratic congresswoman that she met Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has drawn criticism from lawmakers.
Tulsi Gabbard said on Wednesday she had talked to Mr Assad during a recent trip to Syria, and was "ready meet with anyone if there's a chance it can help bring about an end to this war."
Democratic Congress leaders had not been notified of the trip in advance.
In an interview with CNN on Thursday, Ms Gabbard said that she had not initially planned to meet Mr Assad during her visit.
"When the opportunity arose to meet with him, I did so, because I felt it's important that if we profess to truly care about the Syrian people, about their suffering, then we've got to be able to meet with anyone that we need to if there is a possibility that we could achieve peace," she said.
After her week-long visit to Syria, Ms Gabbard submitted the "Stop Arming Terrorists" bill, which is designed to halt US support for Syrian rebel groups.
In a statement on Wednesday she urged the US to "end our war to overthrow the Syrian government and focus our attention on defeating al-Qaeda" and the so-called Islamic State.
Under former President Barack Obama, Mr Assad was repeatedly referred to as a "war criminal" by US lawmakers."
You go girl!
Funny...the Main Stream Media seems to have dropped Syria coverage. Why wasn't this front page news?
And hey, congrats to Hawaii for voting for a women we can all appreciate (take note GannonFan).
