President Bush says it well:
“Photo opportunities and/or meetings with President Assad lead the Assad government to believe they’re part of the mainstream of the international community, when, in fact, they’re a state sponsor of terror.”
Nice touch, the head scarf. You’re really showing those terrorists strength in prostration, Madame Speaker. She should have brought a little white flag with her, emerged from the plane with her hands up and offered to plus the ranks of a Saudi harem (nah…probably too jerkeyed for even the most hard-up ninth son). Looks like she packed it in the States (can you find a maple-leaf hijab in Syria?), so she planned ahead to accept second-class status.
What again is the purpose of this trip? Who is she representing? What is she representing? Where next? Osama’s guano-glazed recliner for a spot of yak dung tea?
Update for all the fools and a particular troll who can’t understand obvious distinctions: I’m assuming, since there hasn’t been any protestation from the Bush Admin., the delegation that preceded Pelosi’s to Syria was there to represent American interests and to issue warnings to a terrorist-supporting enemy. Pelosi was there to represent one political party and to OPPOSE the president. You just don’t do that. No matter what you think of the president, it should be an outrage to everyone that the woman who’s third in line to the White House should signal in front of the world in a series of grip-and-grins with an enemy that stabbing our country’s leadership in the back for the perceived gain of one person or one party is the normal course of events. Tip O’Neill, as far as I know, didn’t make it a habit to visit the Soviet Union to tell the Commies what a piece of garbage our president was and elbow-nudge them, whispering, “We’re really with you, comrades. Just wait until that dunce is out of the White House.” That’s exactly what Pelosi has done. The two delegations (excuse the cliche) = apples and oranges. (Update: I may have been mistaken about the GOP delegation. I heard a radio news report that the administration may have discouraged those Republicans as well. If this is the case, the same applies to them as applies to Pelosi.)

WaPo: Pelosi Meets Syrian President Despite Objections From Bush
“We were very pleased with the reassurances we received from the president that he was ready to resume the peace process,” she told reporters in Damascus after the talks. “He was ready to engage in negotiations for peace with Israel.”
Update: Chamberlain promises “peace in our time.”

It would be prudent to determine exactly what the Speaker of the House does and what the job description reads. Where most liberals exist is in the grey areas, so by determining what Pelosi did that was out of line, we are holding her to task. At the very least, what she did was disrespectful to the President. I will not even address how this makes us look to other countries.
She looks like she’d fit right in over there.
Too bad it’s not a one-way ticket.
So do you think Laura Bush was projecting America’s strength when she wore a scarf at the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem’s Old City?

“do you think Laura Bush was projecting America’s strength when she wore a scarf”
Nope. Context is everything. She wasn’t stabbing the country’s leadership in the back in order to bolster her own ego. Pelosi was kissing the ring of the enemy in defiance of American interests and decided to take a subordinate role. Better comparison (though imperfect, because they don’t travel to these terror pits in order to trash their own countries, but for legitimate purposes) would be how Dr. Rice or Chancellor Merkel travel.
Has Pelosi Gone Bonkers:

Pelosi better study the Logan Act because she is tip toeing the line.
Any reader here should google the exact phrase, “We just killed the Patriot Act”.
Read any of the 50 hits it generates and remember that when suicidal fanatics detonate a nuke in our city someday or when head-sawing maniacs take one of our schools hostage and shoot our children.
I hope people descend on Pelosi and Reid like a mob of villagers with pitchforks.
I guess it is okay for Congressmen to visit Syria as long as they don’t have to wear a hijab.

Stephen, have you ever heard this quote: “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.”
“For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder is less to fear.” –Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)
The logan act is unconstitutional crap.
camanintx,
Your quote is nothing more than an opinion, chanted over and over like mantra, until it’s accepted as truth.
See what you think after al-Qaeda leaves one of our cities as rubble or massacres a grade school. I’ll be blaming the enablers who gutted the Patriot Act (and bragged about it) as well as their useful idiots who dust off opinions to quote when it suits them.
