In her speech at a state dinner held in her honor at the Knesset Sunday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Dem.-CA) vowed to present Israel's case to the leaders of Syria.
Her speech was uniformly supportive of Israel, and she received a standing ovation at the end.
Pelosi spoke emotionally about her meetings with the families of the kidnapped soldiers and dramatically held up the soldiers' dog tags, which she said she displays prominently at her office in Congress and she would bring with her to Damascus.
"I will send a message to the president of Syria from the families of the soldiers and from the Cohen family as well," Pelosi said, noting the presence of the families in the room. "We must counter the terrorists' vision of apocalypse and despair with our own vision of hope. International forces in Lebanon must implement the UN resolution effectively. Hizbullah must be disarmed. Iran must not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon."
Unless this is an April Fool's Day joke, I am speechless.
One message on foreign soil...and another one at home.
For sure, but my jaw is still on the floor seeing this quote from her!
So is Pelosi now the Dem shadow President?? She talks like she has the power to change the face of the Middle East. Hey, Middle East, get a clue...the Dems are only posturing, they don't care about you at all!!
Maybe she will they suggest Lebanon defund Hizbollah and demand a withdrawal date. She is an unmitigated fool.
Does she pull a Yasser Arafat and give a different speech in Arabic to the "Palestinians"?
I think she's Chancellor
If this isn't a joke my head will explode!!!
That is yet to be seen, when she hits Syria. Wouldn't surprise me one bit to see her show another face there.
I still can't believe she said this stuff. In other words, EXACTLY what President Bush has been saying.
The Jews are the offspring of Pigs and dogs, we must all work together to wipe Israel from the map!
She is a Dimocarap of the Kerry variety; totally without scruples or virtue, she will tell you exactly what you want to hear and then go to your enemy and tell him the exact opposite.
Exactly. You nailed it...JFK
So; how the hell did she get these dogtags? Are these the dogtags worn at the time of capture?
If (in other words, WHEN) she bashes President Bush over Iran, this quote needs to be thrown in her face 24/7.
And the terrorists' vision of "apocalypse and despair"...what a hoot! No sh*t, but you are on record now, Pelousy.
<<<still can't believe she said this stuff, there is SO much to work with it's unbelievable.
This is a heated discussion I have all the time with my best friend, who happens to be Jewish. Why are Jews overwhelmingly Dem voters?
The answer is that they know no matter who is in the White House, D or R, they will always take care of their allies.
I still don't get it and I tell him so.
In this case, this is just another example of a Public Serpent like Pelosi who has no core beliefs and will say whatever people want to hear or do whatever the majority wants in order to attain power just for the sake of power.
If polls showed 90% of the population were in favor of the Iraq War, you can bet she and Hitlery and Murtha et al would be too.
It's nice that we have representative government on small, local issues. Gov't should represent the will of the people there. But when it is a matter of life and death on a Global scale, letting polls decide your position is tantamount to treason.
I want to see a picture of her with a scarf draped over her head, talking tough to Assad.
Just saying that makes me think that she WILL drape a scarf over her head, but no pictures will be allowed - an agreement arrived at by "tough negotiations".

This woman is such a fake, pseudo and phony I would not believe a single word she says.
Remember, folks, she's a rat.

Pelosi’s Father Aided Jews of the Shoah
Filed by Yitzchok Adlerstein
With mounting fears in some circles that the Democratic Party’s long-standing support of Israel is perceptibly waning, we know of at least one high-ranking member for whom commitment to Jewish causes runs in the veins.
Nancy Pelosi, the incoming Speaker of the House, was born to politics. Her father, Congressman Thomas D’Alesandro, Jr, was an ardent Roosevelt Democrat who nonetheless broke with FDR, and worked to bring pressure on the Administration to respond to the plight of Nazi-era Jewry. He joined the famous Bergson group, named after its ringleader, a nephew of Rav Kook, who took a more aggressive stand on agitating on behalf of Europe’s Jews than the Establishment Jews who shunned him, and worked to undermine his efforts. (He was the instigator of the famous March of the 400 Rabbis that was rebuffed through the efforts of Stephen Wise.)
The group was ultimately successful, albeit at a late point in the war, in pushing Congress to create the War Refugee Board which played a role in the rescue of 200,000 Jews.
The full story belongs to Dr. Rafael Medoff, who heads the David Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, and frequently writes on matters of Jewish history.

How can she have the dog tags of the guy that disappeared?
DOG TAGS??!!
And just any other two-faced democrat, when she gets to Syria, she will start talking about they need to counter the zionist conspiracy and make sure Hezbullah is properly armed.
Ethnic politics, pure and simple.
Pelosi has time to talk tough about Israeli hostages. And that's great. But she couldn't be bothered to get the House to pass a resolution on the British hostages. They're not important enough.
Are we to believe our ears or the legislation?
Pelosi legislation prohibits attachs on Iran or Syria or anywhere without approval.
Pelosi legislation insists on U.S. disengagement in 2008 for the WOT.
Pelosi legislation insists U.S. troops cannot be in a combat or training capacity in the a conflict zone after mid-2008.
Pelosi legislation ensures that U.S. troops will not be able to defend themselves or be sent into a "hot" zone or be an extension of "diplomacy".
Excellent points, and well said FRiend.
If I were to point to one event that I think might cause Jewish voters to remain inclined to vote Democratic, it would be that President Harry Truman chose to recognize the new State of Israel in 1948 within (by some accounts) 11 minutes of the proclamation of independence of the Jewish State. Truman was very much a supporter of Israel, and that bought literally decades of good will from Jews not only nationally, but internationally.
Pelosi trivia ping
"We must counter the terrorists' vision of apocalypse and despair with our own vision of hope. International forces in Lebanon must implement the UN resolution effectively. Hizbullah must be disarmed. Iran must not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon."
Sane person: "Surely you can't be serious."
House Mother Pelosi: "I am serious. And don't call me Shirley, or I'll subpoena your ass and drag you in front of a House subcommittee hearing."
Thank you Eric.
Pelosi's ego must be on a par with Hillary's by now. I'm surprised they can hold their swelled heads upright.
Someone needs to instruct Nancy about arkincide ... if her airplane makes it back to the U.S. safely.
That was brought up by him indirectly in the heated debate.
But if crap that happened decades ago still call for blind loyalty, why are African Americans still predominantly Dem voters too? It was Lincoln and the GOP forerunners in the Whig party that freed the slaves.
Not to go off on a tangent here, but this is exactly what will happen if Bush grants the 12 million illegals here amnesty with the idea that they will be future, grateful right wing voters. Laughable.
Back on point, nowhere in the MSM will the House Mother's comments be brought to light. You can count on it. Maybe Rush will have something to say about it tomorrow.
I'll send him an e-mail now, on the off chance that his omnipotent eyes didn't see it.
OPINION: Well isn't this so nice....so sweet and...
Now, back to real life.
Pelosi has proved she is not pro-America... so I don't hold up too much hope that she can be pro-Israel for any length of time.
Now it could be that Pelosi is trying to out do Hillary in proving that she can be anything she wants to be at any given moment -- even if she is NOT whatever it is.
Phonies, one and all.
Thanks for the ping though, piasa.
I wouldn't go within half a mile of an angry cat fight between those two. If you think men and their testosterone induced territorial fights like rams butting heads is bad, just get in the middle of two women having it out. No thank you. They are 100 times worse. Just ask your wife or girlfriend.
Pelosi's just being a politician, pandering to an audience and telling it what it wants to hear. In Syria, she'll praise Assad and talk about how the evil Jews control the world.
Perhaps Pelosi has plans....it be extremely entertaining to see Princess Pelosi throw her crown into the presidential campaign and beat out the angry Hill-Billy Co-Candidates from Arkansas who've got millions at their disposal.
Ummm...Gee, you would think the Jerusalem post would be smart enough to see through this garbage.
How does Pelosi plan to make the UN forces in Lebanon effective?
I don't think that's the way it works. She'll talk in code, saying Israel, "could do more," and the like. This is all it takes.
"....vision of hope...." - Pelosi
A liberal's comment saying "I will do nothing"
If Israel bows down to Pelosi and Hillary they will lose me and millions of other Americans
I don't let me enemies demand special treatment or support
" Iran must not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon."
How Nancy? How?
How do we do that?
I agree with what you said about women and their fights.
Lol, being a woman I don't have a 'wife'!!
Rosie may, but not me!!
[A liberal's comment saying "I will do nothing"]
Yes, she thinks 'nice talk' can solve it all. The big heads think they know everything.
Sorry ma'am. Hey, it was a 50/50 chance and I rolled the dice and lost. I shouldn't have assumed anything.
So I guess I'm preaching to the choir. My wife complained about working at a Japanese bank and how they don't respect women there. I told her to leave. She got a job working for a woman at a big insurance company, and all Hell broke loose.
Suffice it to say, she is now a stay at home Mom.
This is what they always do .. it's like they have no idea we can find out what they said .. I mean really .. are these people THAT STUPID .. NAIVE .. or just so ARROGANT they believe they can say anything and we can't do anything about it ..??
You can almost rest assured that she'd become an isolationist and a "let's negotiate our way out of this," if the you-know-what hits the fan in Israel.
Democrats lack both a backbone and the endurance to fight a good fight, and anyone who sees them in action knows that they'll fold like a house of cards.
My feeling is, you don't have to be stupid to be STUPID. It's a carefully constructed state of mind.
This is why democrats musn't get near the White House in 2008. A two faced, back stabbing phony.
She needs to be reminded that a president is elected by 50 million people or more in all 50 states, and that a congresswowmen is elected by thousands of people in one district in one state. She does not represent the people of the United States!!
We need across the board term limits in both the house and the senate and get some of these awful entrenched wealthy demagogues OUT OF THERE.
If I believed for a second she means any of it, I would be amazed too, but I don't and I'm not.
What amazes me is how many fall for old carpetbagger tricks.
