The real reason Nancy Pelosi went to Syria?

Question

Look at the websites below. It shows credible and substantial evidence that Saddam Hussein sent his WMD's to Syria before the war.

I think Pelosi is afraid that, if the Bush administration gets on better terms with the Syrian government, it will disclose what Saddam did with his weaponry. All it would take for the Republicans to regain widespread credibility is to prove Bush was right. I think the Democrats will do anything to prevent that. I think Pelosi went to Syria to get on cozy terms with their government, so it will be less likely to cooperate with the Republicans. What do you think?

Don't bother to answer this question if you don't take the time to read the webistes listed below.

I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED in the responses so far. I don't see any evidence that anyone even read the links. Aren't you interested in possibly solving such a great mystery?

Matt D + Yupchagee.... your answers are the best so far.

Myldfyr: on the flip side, your answer was moronic. We went to Iraq to deny Saddam Hussein his ability to wage war and be a threat to other countries. We went there to make regime change, and to literally transform an entire region that has historically been mired in ignorance and backwardness. We (Conservatives, that is; not gutless Libs) defanged the tiger. Why don't you take a few minutes from your Bush bashing and global warming petitions to actually read the links?

Consider this: no two real democracies have ever gone to war against one another. (Not even the Faulklands Island dispute: Argentina had a dictator then)

Come on people: read the links and make some insightful comments. THIS COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING (and Pelosi is afraid it will be the nail in the Democrats' political coffin)

Want ten points? Educate yourself and us by your response to the links. I want to hear your opinion, even if it differs from mine.

In response to "thedude", Reagan was probably the greatest President in our history, and polls refelect that sentiment. As former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher observed, "Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot".

So, as you sit in your parent's basement playing Game Boy and getting high, you should consider that, if Reagan hadn't been elected President, the USSR would have gotten stronger, and they'd be dictating surrender terms to us! By the way, they take a VERY dim view of drug use in Communist countries.

Plus, you couldn't continue living in your parent's basement (what are you....28?). Get a job.

Your comment about his war on drugs: Are you joking? Are you still a little buzzed from your last bong hit, or have your mental capacities been permanently damaged from pot?

By the way, in the last link from free republic, it shows a convoy of FIFTY TRUCKS headed towards the Syrian border. Do you think Saddam was sending them early Christmas presents?

The Real Story: Pelosi's Syrian Vacation
http://www.glennbeck.com/realstory/04-02-07.shtml

On "Meet the Press" yesterday, Tim Russert asked Congressman Charles Rangel why $20 billion dollars of pork was included in the emergency war supplemental that passed the House last week. Rangel responded:

"Because they needed the votes. That bill, we lost so many Democrats, one, because people thought we went too far and others because we didn't go far enough. And so a lot of things had to go into a bill that certainly those of us who respect great legislation did not want in there."

Yea, "great legislation" wasn't exactly the term that came to my mind either....but thanks for your honesty, at least someone finally admitted that this was really all about one thing: buying votes.

The President, of course, has said all along that he'll veto the bill -- not just because of the pork, but also because it includes arbitrary dates that we'd have to start pulling our troops out of Iraq. That lead to a little war of words between the President and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last week, which ended with Pelosi saying, "there's a new Congress in town."

Actually, Nancy -- no there's not, because the Real Story is that the new, spineless, overspending Democratic Congress that replaced the old, spineless, overspending Republican Congress has left for vacation. Yep, with no troop funding yet approved, Nancy lead a delegation -- including a Republican -- for a little sun, sand and unauthorized negotiations with our enemies in Syria. But don't worry!!! New Secretary of State Pelosi says everything will be just fine, because she has "great hope" she can make progress over there.

Ohhhh, so all we have to do is just "hope" nut-jobs will listen to reason; why didn't you just say so! Maybe you could swing by Iran and use a little of that "hope" to free those hostages or end the nuclear program standoff?

Unfortunately, Nancy's little play date in the Middle East is distracting everyone from what she's not doing here. Helloooo...is anyone concerned about the "emergency" part of the emergency war spending bill? Whether you agree with the war or not, I think everyone short of Cindy Sheehan would agree that stopping all funding immediately before withdrawing all the troops is probably not in our best interest.

But how long do we really have before the bank account runs dry? A new report out this weekend says that the Army could fund itself through July, but the politicians who are using that to justify their vacations are conveniently ignoring a section of the same report that says the military would have to limit maintenance and repairs and slow down troop training to do that. That would result in troops who aren't certified for combat, meaning longer tours for the troops already there. Congratulations Nancy, you and the Democrats have now managed to break every campaign promise in just one bill and you've done it all on the backs of our troops...

Nancy Pelosi All American Traitor
She gives sellouts a bad name
http://forums.joeuser.com/?aid=149351

Besides her being a SanFranfreako Liberal, she managed to sell out not only America on her latest jaunt to the middle East, but managed to sellout Israel at the same time. This is just another demonstration of a politician {a couple of Republicans too} doing their best to not only marginalize President Bush, but to lend some credence to a country that is a known sponsor of terrorism {Hamas and Hezbollah come to mind}.

Is there no low the Democrats will stoop to to capture the White house in 2008?

I must admit there strategy is flawless so far, do nothing in congress except try to continue to Bash Bush, put his aids on trial for nothing, No law was broke dismissing the eight attorneys, they serve at the pleasure of the President, meaning he can fire them if his hair did not look right one morning, I find it amazing that no one said a word when Wild bill fired 92 Attorneys, where was big mouth Chuckie Shumer then? Where was Harry Reid calling for criminal investigations then?

I have not been watching much news as it just aggravates me to much, but this latest slap in the face to America by Pelosi was just to much for me to not say something.

Pelosi is speaker of the House, not an international diplomat, she carries no authority to do anything, she cannot make any agreements with any country. This was just one big Photo opportunity for Pelosi and she made the most of it, damn the fact she screwed Israel by telling a huge lie, Israel told her nothing about any peace overtures with Syria, yet there she was speaking not just for America, but for another country. Could it be Pelosi is not satisfied with being just the speaker of the House of representatives? but is seeking a higher office as Speaker for the entire world?

Answer 2

So the Weapons of Mass Deception are in Syria? What a joke. Even Bush has confessed to that lie by now.

I definitely don't support Pelosi, but she has every right to visit other countries for diplomatic reasons. Under the Constitution, the Speaker of the House is mandated, though the Congress determines whether Cabinet offices such as the Secretary of State exist.

Hopefully either the Democrats find the courage to deny any more funding for this immoral and illegal undeclared War or Bush realizes how much of a disaster he has caused and turns against the War.

More than likely, the War will continue through the 2008 elections, which will hopefully result in the election of the only pro-Constitution candidate Ron Paul, who will have a tough task ahead of him as he will attempt to undo 150 years of big government, the first step of which will be ending the War (if it isn't getting rid of that evil IRS and Federal Reserve).

Answer 3

I have always felt and have read time and time again, that Saddam did indeed send his WMD's to Syria. I do not understand how so many intelligence agencies across the GLOBE could have been wrong when they called our President to inform him that Saddam was poised to attack us next. There are simply too many routes and individuals that could have transported the weapons into Syria. I have also had the great fortune to speak with 2 Marines and 1 Naval Pilot and they believe without a doubt, the weapons were there and there are still some to be found. Just look at the weapon caches and all of the money that has been found thus far.

As far as Pelosi goes, I truly believe that she went to Syria JUST to undermine Hillary's bid at the Dem nomination. She saw Hillary's popularity growing and felt threatened....she acted like a school girl if you ask me!

Let's say Bush decided NOT to invade Iraq, despite all of the intel, and Saddam did attack us....he would be touted as the worst President ever. He did invade on their soil, keeping us average Americans safe, and he is touted as the worst President ever. As I see it, Bush cannot win in the eyes of liberal America. And all Republicans are evil, vicious, back stabbing, self gratifying individuals.....which is sad because I am about as loving and accepting and nurturing as them come. And I am PROUD to be a Republican! It is a sad sad time in the US that so much hate is spued simply because of one's political affliation. EDUCATION my friends! It is that easy....Does that make me EVIL:?

Answer 4

lol. What are you a mental midget. Syria and Iraq where against each other because syria sided with Iran during their war.

25 years on, Syria and Iraq restore diplomatic ties
Reuters Published: 21/11/2006 12:00 AM (UAE)




Baghdad: Iraq and Syria agreed to restore full diplomatic relations yesterday after a break of a quarter of a century, a move Iraq hopes may help stem what it says is Syrian support for militants.

Answer 5

So if Saddam managed to get these phantom weapons of mass destruction out of Iraq and into Syria and finding and destroying wmd was our original reason for going into Iraq; that would mean that the War in Iraq has been a total failure from the very start. Are you willing to admit that?

Answer 6

Nancy Pelosi is trying to show that our judicial system has no guts to try her for cleary violating the logan act. she feels she and her dems are beyond the law and bush is only in office at this time to bow down to her and her whims. it has nothing to do with surrender only political power.

Answer 7

Is she willing to work with the enemy against Bush? I doubt it. Syria isnt going to be cooperating with us anytime soon, they are state sponsors of terror and the their president is anti-US and cozy with Iran.

Pelosi is just another liberal appeaser that thinks its great to talk to terrorists and undermine our foreign policy. They were basically using each other. Pelosi used him so she could say to America "Oh wow look at Bush, HIS foreign policy is just making enemies, look how nice these terrorists are!"

And Assad used her to promote himself as a statesmen that will even meet with the hated west and try to talk sense into those infidels that dont deserve to live.

Answer 8

If you search the archives here, you will find that I have frequently expressed my belief that Saddam shipped his WMD's to Syria. That said, I doubt if that's why San Fran Nan went to Syria, just sounds to conspiratorial to me.

Answer 9

Cool! A Republican conspiracy theory for a change.

I am answering your question, even though I didn't look at the links. I'm not very obedient around here.

I think she went for questionable reasons, which have mostly to do with her own ego. But I really think it's a stretch to say she's in cahoots with the Syrians or Saddam.

Answer 10

you are slow..... in your head..... wake up.... your brain went to bed... this is a comment on your previous comments and by the way Ronald Reagan was a joke his war on drugs essentially started the downward spiral of his own country he was nothing but a puppet and planted the seed of paranoia and fear that flourishes in that country today.. take those @%$!&*^ blinders off your eyes...
