#1 Congratulations, Madame Speaker. You are more successful in undermining my country than you are in leading yours.

#2 Mrs. Pelosi said she raised substantive issues with Syrian leaders, urging them to stop insurgents from entering Iraq, help win the release of Israeli soldiers thought to be held captive by Lebanese and Palestinian militias, and end Syria's support for terrorist groups.

Anybody can talk to anybody about this stuff. It takes no brains whatsoever. As for making progress in these areas, that's a different matter entirely. Got a progress report for us on these substantive issues, Nancy?

#4 The second most popular politician in Syria these days may be an American: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Who's the first? Don't tell me, it must be Harry Reid!

#5 "She is a different face of America, but she does not have ideas, any solutions," the Iraqi woman said.

Jeesuz, Nancy. Even they see it.

#7 Is Speaker Ms.Pelosi and Neville Chamberlain cousins, by chance?.

I don't think so - Chamberlain was naive but had principles.

#8 When the American people start paying attention, this pro-enemy foreign policy is going to fail. Negotiating with Syria is one thing. Rehabilitating a dicatorship we are trying to isolate is another.

The bad part is that Pelosi has access to secret briefings. If she really has staked the Dems' political future vested in Assad she may act to derail covert ops against him. This is one of the many reasons why politics need to stay at the water's edge.

It sickens me just as much as when Kerry and Co. went down to Latin America to support the Sandinistas.

After the 2006 election Rahm Emmanuel, the architect of the Dem House victory, stated that the Republicans have officially lost the National Security issue since Iraq is percieved to be such a failure. I was worried he was correct. However, the Dems have way too many people who actively support our enemies for that to happen. A sad commentary. I wish both parties wanted to defeat our enemies and we could limit our debate to 'how' to do so, not 'whether' we should.

Simply disgraceful behavior.
