[Old Sarge]

The harsh comments by the foreign minister came two days after Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld accused Syria

I thought Gates was SECDEF now?

Is this just more stellar NYT fact-checking?

[Old Sarge]

Nevermind... saw the date... returning to lurk mode...

Assad's Syria and Pelosi Democrats are allies in the War on Bush, a war the Democrats view as far more important than anything else.

[Mr. Mojo]

....saying that his country wanted America to lose the war.

He and Pelosi (and Pelosi's party) have a lot in common.

[rhombus]

Pelosi, where are you?

I'm sure she's very busy picking out the perfect hijab to wear for the big meeting. There are so many trendy new designs coming out this Spring. ;-)

what's with the 4 year old article?

[tflabo]

Mr. Sharaa said while speaking to Parliament, praising the Iraqis' "courageous resistance."

Lying b..tard just like your slime leftists US Congress visitors. You call 'courageous' blowing up scores of innocent people by murderous terrorists? Oh...I forgot..you probably are one too. Hamas affiliated perhaps?

[Son House]

On purpose,
that's why I posted the date in the title,
everyone needs to know who Pelosi is meeting with.

[verum ago]

mmm, fair 'nuff. In the future you might want to consider putting the date in parentheses so it doesn't look like part of the headline; the same goes for your comments

and if that's not a good enough reason to convince you, a certain irate FReeper might hunt you down and inflict bodily harm:
Stop adding your comments to the title thread (Shrillary Vanity Alert!!)

[Son House]

Yes, I agree grammar is important, and I am still in training on forum ediquette,
hopefully getting out this information
outweighs my inexperience.

hopefully getting out this information outweighs my inexperience.

it does

The Democrats, led by Speaker Pelosi, are making common cause with America's enemies and are working hard for an American defeat.

Might have helped the unaware if you had put this in the headline.

I was about to post to call your attention to the fact Pelosi is on her way there (if she hasn't arrived already) but someone else beat me to it.

Teasonous bizzh.

Mr. Sharaa said while speaking to Parliament, praising the Iraqis' "courageous resistance."

I wonder if this nut bag will call it "courageous resistance" when all hell breaks loose after we leave.... He may have to revise it to "courageous chaos"...

[Son House]

Yep, just looking for Pelosi's photo op with Foreign Minister Farouk al-Sharaa of Syria,
should be out today.

Syria Wants U.S. to Lose War

So do the Democrats

Another quote for Pelosi to disregaurd:
From
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/04/12/sprj.irq.syria/index.html

Quote "At the news briefing, Sharaa faced more questions about U.S. claims.

"Sometimes I don't think the Americans know what they want," he said.

"They accuse us of hiding Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, but they don't listen when we tell them we don't have any. We have no weapons and we harbor no one and they bring us no evidence."

Then, talking about the Bush administration's military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq, Sharaa questioned the United States' motive.

"Look at all these things: Is Afghanistan stable? Have their objectives been achieved? Have they found Osama bin Laden?" he asked, before mentioning the "looting and lawlessness" that followed the fall of Saddam's regime.

"They've left a mess in both these countries and they're not finished. Now turning their attention to a third country," he said. "Historians talk about the Second World War and how the Germans should have been stopped earlier."

Then, just before Sharaa was about to compare the Bush administration to Nazi Germany, France's de Villepin stopped him.

"You do not want to make this comparison," de Villepin said. "Don't do this."

Sharaa regained his composure and talked about the need to maintain dialogue and peace in the region. "endQuote

How many Democrats and their supporters compare "Bush administration to Nazi Germany"?
Pelosi is thinking that she's a hero stopping some Nazi Germany-like regime, when we all know the truth, even Clinton told it once.

Pelosi in Lebanon,

http://www.playfuls.com/news_10_22232-ROUNDUP-Pelosi-Says-Dialogue-With-Syria-important.html

" "Our trip to Syria is one that is important to us,
it is also important to the
Iraq Study Group which encourages such diplomacy and engagement,"
she said, referring to a bipartisan US group that last year
recommended that talks should held with US foes Syria and
Iran in order to stabilize the situation in Iraq. "

May I suggest an extra trip to Iran, lady?
The Iraq Study Group would also encourage such
'diplomacy and engagement'.
