Lebanese Christian says Pelosi sending wrong message to Arab world
OneNewsNow ^ | 4/3/07 | Jim Brown

A Lebanese-American journalist and author says U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, by holding talks with the Syrian government, is emboldening enemies of the United States and sending them the message that the U.S. is divided in its support for the war on terror.
 
Speaker Pelosi has said she hopes to rejuvenate U.S. relations with Syria when she meets with dictator Bashar Assad and other Syrian officials in Damascus. But Brigitte Gabriel, author of Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America (St. Martin's Press, 2006) and president of AmericanCongressforTruth.org, believes Pelosi is sending the message to America's enemies that the U.S. is divided.

"Already, radio talk-show hosts in the Middle East and Arabic are making fun of our government," Gabriel notes, "saying that even the speaker of the House of the American government thinks that George Bush is stupid, and [that] they are here to represent the half of America who does not agree with the American aggression and wrongdoing in the Middle East."

This is "the last message we want to send our enemy," the author notes. And yet, she asserts, "this is what Pelosi's visit is doing to Syria."

During the U.S. House speaker's Mideast trip, she visited with Lebanese Parliament speaker Nabih Berri, a Shiite leader with the terrorist organization Hezbollah. Gabriel says Berri helped Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah get the terrorist group started in Lebanon.

The Lebanese-American journalist says Pelosi's recent meeting with Berri in Lebanon signals to the Arab world that she's "working with those who kill American Marines in Baghdad," since it is "in the Ain El Helwi camps in Lebanon that the Hezbollah is developing the IED, the roadside explosive bombs that are being detonated against our troops in Afghanistan and also in Iraq."

Those improvised explosive devices are made in Lebanon and "are transported from Lebanon via Syria into Iraq to kill our troops," Gabriel says. "So what type of message is Pelosi sending to the Arabic world," the author asks, "when somebody like her will go and meet with our enemy over there?"

Since the Iranian hostage crisis, the U.S. has learned that negotiations with dictators do not produce any positive results in the Middle East, Gabriel contends. She says Pelosi, rather than meeting with al-Assad, Berri and the like, should instead be meeting with American generals who served in the first Gulf War and the Iraq War and who know what strategies are effective for defeating America's enemies in the Middle East.

That's certainly true.

We have too many traitors in positions of influence and/or power in the US today. And apathy abounds..... Not hopeful.

I doubt it will be necessary. There are numerous Lebanese in this country with ties in the old country who know exactly what to do.

I certainly wouldn't get in their way.

Pelosi thinks she is the Secretary of State.

Imagine the uproar if someone from the Executive Branch went over to Congress and tried write some new laws.

Ooops. Sorry. I owe you a bottle of antacids..... Since the antacids might be difficult to get to you, how about if I post a picture I took of the CN Tower from a trip to Toronto last summer? It might be worth it.....

Or simply told members of Congress that it was none of their business why Justice Department employees who SERVE AT THE PLEASURE OF THE PRESIDENT were fired.

I learned years ago that I should ALWAYS expect worse from the left.

Pelosi is a stupid fool and loon of the left. Her pathetic attempt to upstage the executive branch is not only highly improper and ILLEGAL but is damaging the image and stature of the USA. But the socialist power-mad Rats do not care and they are so blinded by their elitist “can do no wrong” attitude, that they are beyond dangerous, they are seditious, and outright treasonous.

What is wrong with our system that fools and reprobates like Pelosi are not held accountable for their dispicable actions??

Of course it’s true. Her mission — her only mission — is to weaken the President’s foreign policy.

Or just weaken/destroy America.

Bingo. That is precisely her intent. She is siding with the terrorists against our President. So why aren't the Republicans precisely spelling this out and calling her a traitor? She should be humiliated and put on the defensive for doing this.

Does anyone here think that Pelosi’s type would be one of the first targets of jihadists when they get here? I believe that. I also believe Nancy and the dems have no clue. I don’t know what kind of tragedy it will take to wake them up. But whatever it is,it will involve lots of dead Americans because the Democratic party is an enemy within.And they are apparantly clueless of the consequences of thier actions.
