Pelosi Refusing to Support British on Iran?
Poweline ^ | 3/29/07 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 03/29/2007 12:13:28 PM PDT by CaptRon

It's hard to believe, but that's what we're hearing from Capitol Hill. A resolution has been proposed in the House of Representatives that condemns Iran for the seizure of British sailors and marines, expresses support for our British allies. It's hard to see anything controversial in that. But apparently, the resolution has languished all week while Pelosi refuses to allow it to come to the floor.

Earlier today, Congressman Eric Cantor wrote the following letter to Pelosi:

Dear Madam Speaker: Fifteen kidnapped British marines and sailors recently became the latest victims of a systematic Iranian campaign of terror and international defiance. The illegal seizure of the British forces is a signal that Iran views us as powerless to prevent it from realizing its aggressive ambitions.

For the sake of our standing in the world, our allies and most importantly the 15 British personnel and their families, I urge you to bring H. Res. 267 to the floor today before we adjourn. The resolution calls for the immediate and unconditional release of the British marines and sailors. It would also call on the U.N. Security Council to not only condemn the seizure, but to explore harsher sanctions to counter the growing Iranian threat.

A Republican Congressional staffer writes:

It is simply staggering to me that Pelosi refuses to stand beside America's closest ally. I literally would not have thought this possible, until I saw it this week.

Staggering, indeed. We'll see what happens this afternoon.

LOL, I'm sorry if you thought I was attributing those words to you, I was remarking to the idiot that uttered that nonsense. Where the hell has he been for the last 4 decades is what I want to know.

Nobody will get upset with the Democrats as long as the Dems keep the welfare/pork gravy train flowing. We'll get government health care for the same reason.

Oh my! This can't be true. Pelosi is the most hate filled person I have ever seen. Just watching her on TV, I expect her to blow a gasket one day and show the world her true self.

I just checked on Thomas and there has been no action on this resolution today.

My most fervent hope is for this traitor and her cohorts to have their heads all implode at the same time.

It's not a defense it's a fact.

Had they done their jobs we wouldn't be sitting in this predicament as it is.

They should do their jobs, I agree. However, it is a despicable myth that there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats, and we are seeing the fruits of those who buy that myth ripening now. I just hope our country survives the tantrum.

How much money is she or her husband getting from Iran or any other Arab country? What kind of a construction deal is her husband cooking up over there? This woman is not for America's safety, she's after power and money. My thought.

Soon she will stand alone as the nukes hit our shores. Grrrrr

When I see someone like Mcain help write the biggest infringement this country has seen on 1st Amendment Rights,

There is no Myth

When I see "hate crime" legislation not only NOT removed from the books but actually advanced further during a republican administration that has the support of a republican house and senate.

There is no Myth

When I see the biggest government giveaway take place on a republican administration's watch with support from that same house and senate.

There is no Myth

When I see our country being invaded by god only knows who (the government sure as heck doesn't know), and a republican administration not only refuses to do anything more than pay lip service to stopping it (and in actuality wants to enhance it by providing amnesty to the invaders).

There is no Myth

When I see my President call good people who stand on that border "Vigilantes" just like the Democrats do.

There is no Myth

When I see government spending rocket to an all time high on the watch of these very same republicans.

There is no Myth

The ONLY difference between being cooked by a democrat and being cooked by a Republican RIGHT NOW is the fact that the democrats cook you faster than the republicans do.

When we finally are able to wrest control of this party away from the likes of Rudy Guiliani, John Mcain, Arlen Spectre, Chuck Hagel.

Then we can see a real difference.

But until we are able to do that, there is no real difference.
