Congress: What, exactly, does House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's latest junket to Iraq have to do with her official duties? Her inability to keep her amateur fingers out of the foreign policy pie suggests a political power grab.Pelosi went to Iraq uninvited Saturday, and her reception was less than warm.

We are already scheduled to depart for Southern California on Friday evening, but I think we can delay our departure long enough to counter protest these misguided idiots and show our solidarity with Israel against terrorism. These murderous Iranian backed terrorist groups must be defeated! We defeat them over there or I guarantee you we will be fighting them over here! Hope you can...
