Is Pelosi Doing What Bush & The GOP are just too Incompetent to Handle?

Question

The Bipartisan Panel on Iraq recommended opening some kind of dialogue with Iran and Syria to deal with the wider Middle East problem. Are Republicans just upset that Pelosi is making Bush and the GOP look totally Impotent?

Answer 1

Something besides gunboat diplomacy - imagine that.

Answer 2

I do remember Clinton and some of his people over an 8 year period talking with Syria,NOTHING GOT DONE! Gingrich never once stepped over the bounds and went to the middle east against President Clinton. Syria supported Lebbanon and Hezbeloh, in the recent conflict against Israel. Syria along with Iran is supplying weapons and insurrgents in Iraq. They are doing exactly what you claim we are doing. Getting into a conflict when they haven't been attacked themselves! Democrats and Republicans have all failed in dealing with the middle east. I can remember Clinton's failure at his middle east summit, when he thought he had the deal in having Israel making all the concessions, but when only 98% were met, Lebbanon backed out. It is 100% of what they want and nothing less. Where is any reccomnedations going to becaome a reality when the Muslims wont bend?

Answer 3

The real ? might be; When did Ms. Pelosi's face freeze into the unchangeable photo-op smile? Isn't she a bit out of her league in foreign affairs? Who is her fashion designer? Barney Fife? Did she inhale? I surely did Which is a great reason to put me in charge of middle east diplomacy. My black son says not to worry because bush doesn't look too impotent to him>

Answer 4

We have had wider dialogs before on the middle east under Carter, Bush 41, Clinton and the current Bush. Net result failure after failure. The Arabs want Israel destroyed and Jerusalem under Muslim control. So tell me how is Pelosi going to resolve that issue?

Answer 5

The way PIGLOSI is handling it is the same way Chamberlain handled Hitler during the '30's. Laying down and letting the enemy make the decisions and control the debate. Ever time PIGLOSI speaks bad about America it shows our enemies that we are weak and that the American people are weak. Weakness is a curse not a blessing. The weak always get taken over by the strong and with the NEO_LIBS telling the world that we are weak it won't be long until we are weak and can not defend ourselves when it becomes time to.

Answer 6

Yes I agree with you... How did Syria become "evil"? Bush asked them to control their border because thats where supposedly insurgents are coming from to Iraq. As if there were not enough of them in Iraq itself. Syrian president then told Bush to mind his own business and his own border with Mexico which was a great rebuttal. Next day Syria became our enemy. However, what Pelosi is doing is great - fixing our ties with a major player in the middle east that were so carelessly broken....

Answer 7

If we look back in history, I don't see many people commemorating Neville Chamberlain's dialogues with Hitler.

Pelosi's dialogues with the murderous dictator Assad will accomplish nothing for the US and nothing for peace. All it does is show weakness by the US by legitimizing the Assad regime which occupied and controlled Lebanon for so many years, assassinates Lebanese leaders it dislikes, sends significant numbers of terrorists into Iraq, and supports Hezbollah. What sane person thinks you can "dialogue" with scum like this?

All she's done is provide propaganda fodder for Al-Jazeera and reinforces the jihadists' belief that the US is weak.

Nice going, Pelosi.

Answer 8

For those Neocons that do not know, that panel was cochaired by Jim Baker, the sec. of state under Bush Sr.

Bush Jr. is alone in his foreign policy. Even former republican administration staff think he has bungled everything.

Answer 9

You mean LYING? You have it backwards, the incompetent lie, the competent hold their ground. PELOSI DELIBERATELY LIED TO ASSAD WHEN SHE TOLD THEM THAT ISRAEL WOULD NEGOTIATE WITH THEM. That woman is the worst thing that ever happend to our Country in the last year. She's an idiot who's wasting perfectly good air. She needs to shut the heck up.

Answer 10

YES, and she is to be commended. We need more leadership and initiative like Pelosi's, and less of the Bush Administration's name-calling and belligerence.

Answer 11

The neocons don't want peace in the middle east, they want an unending crusade. Pelosi is genuinely trying to resolve the conflict there, and even though her effort may be futile, at least she is attempting it. Bush and the repug's just want more blood spilled.
