| US lawmakers to visit Syria, White House says "bad idea" |
| 2007-03-31 |
| A high-level group of US lawmakers plans to visit Israel, Syria and other Middle Eastern countries on a trip to promote regional peace, aides said Friday. The White House criticised the group's planned stop in Syria, a country the US government accuses of sponsoring terrorism. 'That's a really bad idea,' White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said. Leading the group is Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat who is the first female speaker of the US House of Representatives. She plans to address the Knesset, Israel's parliament, on Sunday, her office said. The California congresswoman will discuss the US commitment to Israel and the challenges facing the two nations in the Middle East, her office said. Also in the delegation is House member Keith Ellison, the first Muslim in Congress, elected in November when the Democrats won majorities in both chambers. He was already in Israel on Friday. The group is also expected to visit Syria, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia during its nine-day tour, Ellison's office said. Details were being kept secret for security reasons, it said. Another delegate is Tom Lantos, head of the House International Relations Committee and the only Holocaust survivor in Congress. |

| #16 I've already done lots of stuff I'm supposed to feel bad about - at least according to the wanky crap I've seen coming out of the mouths of halfwits who happened to be vets. Most likely, 95% of it is pure bullshit - they're either fantasizing about wearing the shoes of others or they're just lying assholes who want attention of any sort they can get. As for feeling bad - I appreciate the kind words, but I don't and I won't. |

| #15 and may they commit suicide before you have do anything you might feel bad about later. |

| #14 Old Patriot - Too late to turn back the clock, I'd say. Somewhere around the time that "The X Files" came out I think the moonbats finally had sufficient numbers to make such corrections politically unfeasable. Uncle "We Can't Win" Walt put the stamp of media approval on our demise. The ride since has been mainly downhill. Clearly, we're headed for that little dustup called CW-II I've read about here. I only question whether it will come in time to allow us to save ourselves or not. The signs are showing up that indicate that the Hate America Crowd presumes they've already won. Just as the Muslims jump the gun and presume too much (attacking friendly countries, etc), we see the Stalinists and Socialists in ideological battle, already. The protests up in Seattle where effigies of regular soldiers were burned... The Red-on-Pink and Pink-on-Donk and Nutroots-on-everyone scuffles... The rapidly expanding list of Donk circus events since winning in November... Yeah, I think the signs are (oddly enough) encouraging since the sooner they freak out the middle-ground folks (those lame-assed fools who split their votes just enough to let them back into power) and make it clear we're in seriously deep shit, the sooner we get this show underway. I'd say the whole mess is accelerating, too. May your resolve be unwavering, your aim be steady, and your ammo supply be sufficient brother. I'll hold up my end, I promise. |

| #13 On top of them I would advice the Knesset to demand a cavity search before she addresses them.... |

| #12 The moment she says 'we made a deal with Syria' throw her ass in jail for Treason and violation of the Logan Act. She took an oath to uphold the constitution of the United States. She does not have the authority to treat with foreign governments. If nothing else watching the left have a fit might be worth it. |

| #10 There are laws against what Nancy Pelosi and her "friends" are doing. I hope they are enforced. One of the reasons this sh$$ continues is because no one is held accountable for their behavior. Slam her in Gitmo for a couple of years, let Caliwhackyland elect someone else to fill her position, and crank up the "torture" machine. We need to re-grow the kind of cojones we had under Teddy Roosevelt, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln. As a side, let's declare the ACLU an "enemy facilitator" and take THAT bunch of jacka$$es on as well. I'll step forward and grab a rifle, if George needs help. |

| #9 A quote at The Corner from a vet politico: That's a page out of the Jim Wright playbook. Folks on our side of a certain age will certainly remember his visit to Nicaragua at a critical time to undermine the Reagan foreign policy. |

| #8 Unbelievable. Pass a bill that undermines the troops, refuse to support a resolution denouncing the Iranian kidnapping of British troops, and then head to Syria meet with Baby Doc who has been killing and supplying Hez. with weapons and supporting and sending insurgents/terrorists to Iraq. |

| #7 So, you do your best to screw up Iraq, then think you can appoint yourself as state department and hop on over and negotiate with any tyrant you want? Ohh, I will let you do it. I am letting you measure your noose pelosi. |

| #5 Better yet, when they return divert the flight to NAS Oceana and arrest them upon landing. Have the trial at the federal district court in Norfolk. If they want a change of Venue, they can have Newport News. |

| #4 Agreed, Zenster. The President has everything he needs to arrest these guys. And if they do go overseas and spout their shit, they should be taken directly to detention in GTMO. |

| #3 Have them all arrested under the Logan act. This is treason. |

| #2 Could an unexpected stop in Iran be arranged? |

| #1 WND.com > Communist Party USA gives Dems "high Marks" for Iraq War politicking; + WND > Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin > USA UNPREPARED FOR "LIKELY" NUCLEAR [TERROR?] ATTACK. The odds of a nuke terror attack on US Cities IS INCREASING. |
