April 12, 2007 Pelosi's Syriana By Debra Saunders
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi apparently is willing to meet with Syrian President Bashar Assad -- even though Syria has supported terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah and allowed terrorists to cross the Syrian border with Iraq to attack U.S. troops -- but until late Wednesday, she would not accept an invitation from the president of the United States to discuss legislation to continue funding for the Iraq war.
At a hometown press conference Tuesday, Pelosi explained: "What the president invited us to do is to come to his office so that we could accept, without any discussion, the bill that he wants. That's not worthy of the concerns of the American people. And I join with Sen. (Harry) Reid (D-Nev.) in rejecting an invitation of that kind."
If Pelosi's Tuesday logic -- meet with Assad, but not Bush -- doesn't work for you, consider her spin on her recent trek to the Middle East. Rep. Tom Lantos, D-Calif., chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, joined Pelosi at her press conference, where he crowed, "It was on a scale of 10, a 10, and the United States foreign policy was dramatically advanced by the speaker's mission."
Funny, when in Syria, Pelosi said, "There is no division on policy between us and President Bush -- be it on Israel, Palestine or Syria."
Sooooooo: The Pelosi mission was a 10 out of 10 -- because Pelosi and company advanced Bush's foreign policy? It helps if you forget that while in Israel, Lantos announced, "We have an alternative Democratic foreign policy." And forget that the Bush policy is to not call on Assad. I don't understand why Pelosi can't be honest about the fact that she was deliberately undercutting Bush.

It's all about her and power. A truly stupid , stupid woman.
It would be comical if so many lives didn't hang in the balance.
“I don’t understand why Pelosi can’t be honest about the fact that she was deliberately undercutting Bush.”
Because she’s a limo-liberal, arrogant, smug elitist liar, that’s why.
OK Mabe two words.
I’m so pissed off by the fact that not a single damn republican in congress is willing to stand up to her. The rats are trying to force the Attorney General to resign because federal prosecuters were legally fired, but the bitch commits a felony and nothing happens. These worthless RINO’s in congress need to grow some balls.
