It is frankly astounding to me that people aren't making a bigger deal of the colossal impropriety of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's unauthorized trip to Syria. Where is the outrage?
I realize Democratic leaders and those they answer to have unmitigated contempt for President Bush. I realize they believe the public rewarded their hatred and their antiwar posturing in the November congressional elections.
But according to the latest news reports, President Bush is still in office. This means he is still commander in chief and primarily in charge of U.S. foreign policy.
Democrats have long been opposed to the administration's stern policy toward terrorist-sponsoring states like Iran and Syria. They apparently believe their evil tyrants mean well, and if we will just open a dialogue with them, we can build a lasting peace. After all, the vaunted Iraq Surrender Group recommended that very thing.
But the president has emphasized he does not want to negotiate with Syria, a nation that is supporting our enemies in Iraq, sponsoring Hamas and Islamic Jihad organizations, provides weapons to Hezbollah, is a proxy of Iran and is dedicated to the destruction of our ally, Israel.

Oh crap...she can't spell!
What are we to do? No one listens to us, least of all the people we elect to do our bidding. They all get up there to DC and then do whatever they please, usually designed to tighten their grip on being in DC.
I am convinced that until we begin to sit on our wallets and refuse to contribute one thin dime to the powers that be at the RNC that it’s not going to change.
This corrupt "Two-Party Cartel" doesn't need your $100. The elites supply them with all that they need. If you are foolish enough to contribute all the more but "the peoples" desires do not get answered - ala ILLEGAL immigration. 85% want it stopped & NO response.
What do we do? It really seems to me that we have lost control of our destiny. I know citizens have been saying that since the revolutionary days, but I am really bothered by how many ways we no longer have any say in how our government does business.
The Washington Post (NOT the Wash Times!) called this a “Pratfall in Damascus”

I was going to say that they could keep her. ;)
She is an egomaniacal virago. The only thing of interest about her is the fact she is a symptom.
