"been assured by Democrat congressional leaders during a recent visit to Washington"

I need a question answered. Obviously, the Democratic congressional leaders did not talk with Iraqi leadership post election. So do they have a right discussing foreign diplomacy about how they are going to handle policy, prior to them being elected? This seems to me that they are jumping the chain of command. Is this appropriate?

No.

Neither was it "appropriate" for John Kerry to meet with the N. Vietnamese in the 70's.

They had NO right to do any discussing. What other foreign deals did the Democrat shills make?

they must be stupid if they think they can believe democrats

Many people in the world and in the US are going to get soon a civic lesson on how the US Constitution works. First they will learn that the President has more power than 66% of the Congress, second they will learn that he has almost absolute control of foreign policies, and third they will learn that he has absolute control of the Armed Forces as the Only Commander in Chief.
