Who does Pelosi think she is going to Syria?

Question

Its not her place to work on foreign policy with terrorist countries....

Answer 1

Pelosi doesn't even deserve the step through the senate doors, let alone go to Syria in representation. She needs to crawl back into her dark cave and stay there.

Answer 2

Republicans Frank Wolf, Joe Pitts and Robert Aderholt were there yesterday - I guess you mean it's OK to visit Syria so long as you're a GOP politician, right?!

I don't know what the Republicans talked about or who they talked to. I didn't hear anything about them meeting with President Olmert of Israel. I know that Pelosi was specifically asked by Olmert to speak on their behalf about breathing new life into the failed 2000 peace deal between the two countries. I also know that the Iraq Study Group recommended direct dialogue with Syria.

Answer 3

Nancy Pelosi is the third in line for the Presidency DOLT

She needed to go before BUSH came up with another pack of lies !!!!

In reporting that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is planning a visit to Syria accompanied by a bipartisan congressional delegation this week, several media outlets highlighted White House criticism of Pelosi's trip but did not note that a Republican-led delegation met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus on April 1 -- nor did they note the White House's inconsistency in criticizing Pelosi for her trip but remaining silent on the GOP-led visit.

Indeed, on April 1, Reps. Frank Wolf (R-VA), Joseph R. Pitts (R-PA) and Robert Aderholt (R-AL) traveled to Damascus and met with Assad, two days before Pelosi's scheduled trip.

Answer 4

Excuse me but I strongly differ with you. It IS her place as House Speaker to go on fact finding tours. Gingrich did, Hastert did but you don't think Pelosi should only because she disagrees with your king George. The Iraq study committe, a BI PARTISAN committee recommended the trip. She is not working on foreign policy but only gathering information. When the Administration doesn't do their job someone has to step up to the plate and do it. Have you also forgotten (conveniently) that there are also Republicans along on the trip? She gets the publicity only because she is Speaker just like Hastert or Gingrich or any other Speaker would have gotten. So don't get your knickers in a twist over it.

Answer 5

Jeezus H. Crist, someone's got to open some diplomatic channels with the Middle East, instead of shooting first and asking questions later! What is so objectionable about talking to countries that can actually influence the political situation? Why is that you want a war, and not stability? Foreign policy under Bush & Co. has been a disaster because that's the path they've chosen... let someone get in there and get something done!

Answer 6

Hello? It's a bipartisan group, and there was a Republican group that went over there last week. Why are you singling out Pelosi when it's both parties who are visiting Syria?

Answer 7

I would agree. It is not the duty of Congress (Democrat or Republican) to be flying all over the world at the expense of the taxpayers. This is why the government has something called ambassadors and a state department. These are the men and women that should be in Syria, not our Senators and Representatives.

Answer 8

Uhh..she is, constitionally, the most powerful person in our country right now. (speaker of the house) I would want to use diplomatic solutions before I signed the checks I was giving to a war monger, also. I think that most Americans would. Wait..isin't she a REPRESENATIVE of the American public? Nancy Pelosi is doing her job. Who do you think you are to qustion that?

Answer 9

Who does John McCain think he's kidding going to a market in Iraq and saying it is safe?

Yeah it was safe for him since he was wearing a bullet proof vest, and guarded by 100 soldiers, two blackhawk and one apache helicopter. You righties are so friggin' lame. Even the Iraqis think you are lame liars.

Answer 10

wait mr. cheney, try again. I can see your mouth move when he talks.


She is dealing with issues that the idiot-in-chief and his "aides" won't.
The days of dictating to other countries are over, they all know that our military is tied up in halliburtons war for profit, and they don't have to ask "how high" any more. Now we have to talk to them. Just one more consequence of your boys failed foreign policies

Answer 11

Well at least she knows what foreign policy is.

(Note: "Yeehaw", trying to bring about the Rapture, and carpet bombings do not count as good "foreign policy")
