Does it not occur to you Pelosi-haters that she's doing what she's doing to help Israel?

Question

Last time I checked, they are our allies. So what are you whining about?

Bush isn't God.

J S: You do realize that that editorial doesn't actually say she lied, right? It says that someone in Israel told her that, but that wasn't official Israeli policy. That isn't exactly HER fault. It means those wonderful Israelis we trust so much lied to HER.

snowball: Then why was Gingrich never put on trial?

Kimmie: That isn't what they said. What they said was that what was communicated to her while in Israel did not reflect official policy. That doesn't mean she made it up; that means some butthead in Israel lied to her.

Answer 1

I actually aplaud what she is doing. the woman has guts. no other politicians would have thought of that

Answer 2

I hate her and think she is an educated fool but I give her the benefit of the doubt if she says she is trying to help make things better. I don't see a need for her or anyone else here to help Israel but if they chose to I wish them luck. As for her getting bum information from some butt head in Israel and that means it wasn't her lie I agree and I think that sounds a lot like the information that was used by the present administration to justify the war in Iraq. Our politicians must act on the information they have and if that information is wrong it is not always their fault. I see that you defend Nancy because someone in Israel gave her bad information so why not defend Bush for what is assumed to be bad information leading up to the war. Are you too much of a politician to say that the same treatment and standards should be used when judging both parties.

I don't like Nancy as I have said but I do have some respect for her attempt to improve the communications with the Middle East. I don't approve of her going against the white house and going over there but I also feel that Bush was wrong for trying to block it. There should have been more give and take on the issue. Bush should have told Nancy she could go and that someone from his administration would go with her. She does have a tendence to try and embarass the white house and by doing that she only hurts the country and makes our weakness' known.

Answer 3

The editorial the posters above cited, read editorial, displays absolutely nothing to say that Pelosi lied or misrepresented Israel's position:

"Only one problem: The Israeli prime minister entrusted Ms. Pelosi with no such message. (THIS IS THE EDITORIALIST SPEAKING, BTW)

"What was communicated to the U.S. House Speaker does not contain any change in the policies of Israel," said a statement quickly issued by the prime minister's office." In fact, Mr. Olmert told Ms. Pelosi that "a number of Senate and House members who recently visited Damascus received the impression that despite the declarations of Bashar Assad, there is no change in the position of his country regarding a possible peace process with Israel." "

So, Olmert said that what he communicated to Pelosi represented no change in Israel's position. As far as I can determine the extent of what she communicated was a sort of bland declaration of the desire for peace on the part of Israel, and the later statement from Olmert underscored Assad's recent stubborness, e.g. pointing the finger at Syria for holding up progress.

So how do the hysterics above determine from this slanted editorial that Pelosi lied? Does anyone have any reading comprehension skills anymore?

Answer 4

Ms. Pelosi is a left-wing liberal wacko who has over-stepped her bounds. She is not doing anything useful to anyone. I think she has an over-inflated opinion of herself and the Speaker position. Remember she represents only a part of the population in the SF area. She has no foreign policy experience or expertise. She is fraternizing with the enemy. It is Jane Fonda all over again.
Not all liberals are flaming idiots, but I am beginning to wonder.

Answer 5

We are in the position of not knowing whether she was fibbing or telling the truth, and the same applies to those people she spoke to.

I would be more careful in pointing the finger.

Answer 6

The bottom line is Pelosi embarrased herself and her party by her lack of knowledge of foriegn policy.

Answer 7

So telling lies on behalf of Israel is doing good work???

"The Israeli prime minister entrusted Ms. Pelosi with no such message. "What was communicated to the U.S. House Speaker does not contain any change in the policies of Israel,"

OK, so when you tell someone something that was not said, you are telling a LIE! God, are you libs that delusional??

Jesus Christ celticexpress, it's black and white, she told Syria something that Israel never said. IT WAS A LIE!! Clear as day. Quit putting vodka in your frickin Kool Aid. You libs spin lies so much they end up sounding logical and true.

Answer 8

It seems as if Israel has a different opinion: Their PM says she delivered wrong message to Assad.

Answer 9

For all your questions, you apparently aren't reading my answers.

Article 2 of the US Constitution enumerates the powers of the Executive. One of those powers is international diplomacy. So, in this particular situation, Bush kind of is in charge.

Whether Pelosi is helping Israel is irrelevant if she is acting against the authority of the US Constitution.

Answer 10

Given Israel's military history, she is there to save the whole middle east. Peace must be on both sides to be ever lasting. It is better to talk to one's enemys then to fight them as war is a awful thing that kills, maimes and destroys. .
