Pratfall in Damascus: Nancy Pelosi's foolish shuttle diplomacy (Washington Post!)

[EveningStar]

Yes. You read that right. The Washington Post nails Pelosi!

HOUSE SPEAKER Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) offered an excellent demonstration yesterday of why members of Congress should not attempt to supplant the secretary of state when traveling abroad...

After a meeting with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad in Damascus, Ms. Pelosi announced that she had delivered a message from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that "Israel was ready to engage in peace talks" with Syria. ...

...Only one problem: The Israeli prime minister entrusted Ms. Pelosi with no such message. "What was communicated to the U.S. House Speaker does not contain any change in the policies of Israel," said a statement quickly issued by the prime minister's office. --from EveningStar's link



This alone requires that the farking liar be given a heavy boot up her ass and sent to the unemployment line! What do any of you leftists out there think of this public monkey's baloney?

[The_Elucidator]

But Ms. Pelosi's attempt to establish a shadow presidency is not only counterproductive, it is foolish.

This pretty much sums it up! This woman truly is bush league...

I'd be willing to go as far as saying the rose is ready to be tossed into the garbage.

Nancy Pelosi's Syria Visit Sparks Criticism For Bungled Shuttle Diplomacy

Thursday, April 05, 2007

WASHINGTON — A botched message during a widely discouraged visit by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Syria this week has U.S. officials criticizing rogue efforts at diplomacy among U.S. politicians.

State Department officials said Thursday they made it quite clear they did not want Pelosi to visit Syria, a nation that is listed as a state sponsor of terror and is home to terror group Hezbollah, which started a low-grade war with Israel last summer.

Pelosi is the highest ranking U.S. official to go to Syria since former Secretary of State Colin Powell visited the nation in 2003. Defying the White House's Middle East policy by meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad, Pelosi said, "The road to Damascus is a road to peace."

After meeting for three hours with Assad on Wednesday, the House speaker announced that the Syrian president is "ready to engage in negotiations for peace with Israel."....

....Shocking officials in Jerusalem, where she had visited two days earlier, Pelosi said she also told Assad that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert had wanted to relay the message that Israel is ready for peace talks with Syria.

That came as a surprise to the prime minister, whose office on Wednesday denied any such conversation and said that "what was discussed with the House speaker did not include any change in Israel's policy, as it has been presented to international parties involved in the matter."

Olmert's office also issued a statement saying it had specified to Pelosi that Israel considers Syria "part of the axis of evil and a party encouraging terrorism in the entire Middle East."....http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,264334,00.html

As I said to Mrs. Tex this morning, Pelosi's IQ has to be no more than in the double digits. On second thought, it may only be a single digit.

Someone has suggested that the Clintons are behind this editorial.It would shock me if they were. These are people who kissed every rear end in North Korea.

If Billary is behind this, it's a smart move for them.

I'm so pissed I could spit

Someone has suggested that the Clintons are behind this editorial.Can't be. It's correct and factual. They don't know how to do that.

In other words, Ms. Pelosi not only misrepresented Israel's position but was virtually alone in failing to discern that Mr. Assad's words were mere propaganda.

That which is in bold was precisely my immediate thought when I first heard of this, prior to Olmert's: "Jane, you silly slut."

Damn it Tex, you had to go and prove that there was, in fact, something on which we could agree! :thumb:

Can't we just replace Nancy with Paris the Heiress and stop pretending that the Speaker of the House has a brain?
