Conservatives and media figures continue to claim, without evidence, that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) delivered an incorrect message from Israel to Syria during her meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Pelosi insists that Israel’s message was communicated accurately, and has suggested a good way to prove it:
[Pelosi spokesman Brendan] Daly pointed out that Pelosi was briefed by State Department officials before her meetings with the foreign leaders and that State Department officials also attended her meetings.
So if Pelosi really committed foreign policy flubs of the first order, the State Department is in a position to confirm as much.
The White House certainly received a read-out of what exactly Pelosi and the foreign leaders said in their meetings. Significantly, the White House has not openly accused Pelosi of the foreign-policy missteps the Post had accused her of.In an e-mail follow-up, Daly wrote: “WH has not said that because in fact the Speaker did not get the message wrong — she included the necessary caveats and did not say or imply that this was a change in Israel’s position.”
Indeed, despite President Bush’s claim that Pelosi’s trip sent “mixed signals,” State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said during his briefing today, “I don’t think [the trip] necessarily complicates anything that we’re doing.”
“I don’t think [the trip] necessarily complicates anything that we’re doing.†- - I think McCormack may have choked a bit while trying to spit that out. Truth can do that to recidivist liars.
April 5th, 2007 at 2:24 pmSean is simply being nice. Pelosi’s “foreign policy flub” was having the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE go to the ENEMY in the first place.
April 5th, 2007 at 2:25 pmSean probably doesn’t want to get subpoenaed and harrassed to death by political SHOW TRIALS back here while Pelosi plays nice with our enemies ABROAD! At least McCarthy’s SHOW TRIALS were directed AT the real enemy!

Correct, but we ARE NOT AT WAR!!!!
Show me the DECLARATION OF WAR from Congress.
No the AUMF is NOT a declaration of war! Which Bush did not even follow to begin with, which makes this conflict ILLEGAL!!!!
Also, as long as the Republicans do it…… It’s OK!!!! The Repubs put troop limits on Clinton, and a time table for the troops….. The Repubs, Hastert, went to Columbia and told them to IGNORE Clinton and to deal directly with the Congress……

True, Jake. But the wars are won by the leaders in the trenches and those who follow them. At least Pelosi isn’t afraid to get into the trenches and get her hands dirty.

April 5th, 2007 at 2:43 pmDuring REAL wars, people, there’s only ONE Commander-in-Chief!
And if we were in a REAL war with Syria, Pelosi wouldn’t have made the trip. But, you see, outside of your mental ward, we are not at war with Syria, and are in fact trying to get them to be more cooperative with our foreign policy goals.
You know what another term for “mixed messages” is? Good Cop-Bad Cop.
Your hero has crashed every car we’ve given him, and the grown-ups are taking away the keys.
April 5th, 2007 at 2:43 pmPelosi will accomplish what the entire Bush Cabal couldn’t accomplish in one brief visit - diplomacy!

Nice shot, RedNeck. Dumb broad probably did not even know that in Arabic, the city is called Dimashq ash-ShÄm. Although this is often shortened to either Dimashq or ash-ShÄm by many. The citizens of Damascus, and of Syria and some other Arab neighbors, colloquially call the city ash-ShÄm. Ash-ShÄm is an Arabic term for north and for Syria.
But of course, I am sure you knew all of this.

First of all, we are not in a war. War has to be voted on by Congress.

Issa wouldn’t have gone if the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE had not broken the embargo.
Comment by Jake
Now before Pelosi went to Syria a Republican group spoke to the President of Syria. GOP House Members Virginia Wolf, Penn. Pitts and Ala. Aberholt.
April 5th, 2007 at 2:51 pmNo mention of breaking the embargo. Why? Bush ok’d his GOP reps. to go and talk but Pelosi can’t go. Then Bush ok’s Republican Issa’s visit. Why is Pelosi’s visit considered breaking embargo yet Republicans are free to do as they want. Now former Speaker Hastert visited the Middle East during the Clinton term just to make sure the Middle East didn’t listen to a word Clinton said. No problem there is it. The President of Syria knows what’s happening in the US as the scandal and lies come to light. That fake show by the GOP could be seen even by a blind man. Bush is busted and he knows it. Karl Rove’s tricks no longer work and the Middle East is finished with the GOP and White House. Only the paid media and Fox news are selling the lies that don’t work anymore.
Damascus Nancy is nuts as the Washington Post so ably pointed out this morning.
We came in friendship, hope, and determined that the road to Damascus is a road to peace,†Ms. Pelosi grandly declared.
Never mind that that statement is ludicrous: As any diplomat with knowledge of the region could have told Ms. Pelosi, Mr. Assad is a corrupt thug whose overriding priority at the moment is not peace with Israel but heading off U.N. charges that he orchestrated the murder of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri. The really striking development
April 5th, 2007 at 2:52 pmPelosi has more class than the entire WH staff put together.
Come to think of it, her IQ would equal the collective IQ of WH staff.
6 years of BS by a retarded, alcoholic, drug-abusing spoiled little rich brat is enough. America is waking up on both sides of the fence now, and nothing will put an ‘R’ in the WH in ‘08.
Chew on that, trolls. You have a leader who was never legally elected too damn dumb to even speak english and the laughing stock of the planet.
Does that feel good?
If it does, you may need professional help. Jake, go talk to Dr. Phil, Bush’s personal psychologist. He’s just as dumb as Bush.

Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem told reporters that “Syria exercised a sort of quiet diplomacy to solve this problem and encourage dialogue” between Britain and Iran.
Al-Moallem, who also did not give any details on the Syrian mediation, spoke at Damascus international airport before the departure of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for Saudi Arabia.

So why are we at war with another country? I understand that in “bizarro world” when a stateless group of terrorists attack you, it’s ok to sort of go after them, then attack another country, so by that logic i guess you could say that since we’re not at “war” with iraq now we are at war with yet another country, even if we have diplomatic relations with them, and send them poeple we want tortured, and aren’t actually shooting at them, or using our military forces against them… How do you keep you head from exploding? do you just forget what you’re talking about or do you practice some form of postmodern ZEN meditation in which words don’t have meaning only sounds?

April 5th, 2007 at 3:07 pm“Jake” seems to be on overdrive today. I don’t know what I find more entertaining: the reactionary slurs of Speaker Pelosi or the desperate spinning of the parallel trip made by GOP representatives.
Pelosi is doing what needs to be done. Why does she go? Because Dubya won’t. If we had a real president, you know, one who really understood diplomacy and foreign affairs, she could have rested comfortably in Washington DC or back in her home district instead.
Yes, Bashar al-Assad is a thug and the son of another thug. Yes, Syria is run by corrupt people who hate Israel and don’t like the US very much either. BUT THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE CAN’T TALK WITH THEM!!! Syria is an important player in the region. We cannot ignore them or sideline them for “bad behavior”. Syria is not our lapdog nor will they jump through hoops to please us.
The United States faced an existential threat during the Cold War with the USSR. The nuclear arsenal they held could have destroyed us 1000 times over. Yet we talked to them ALL THE TIME!! We had well-established diplomatic relations and several US presidents even went to Moscow on official visits! Just imagine if we applied the same doctrine back then that the Bushies want to apply now. Would there ever have been detente without diplomacy?
I applaud Speaker Pelosi for doing the right thing and meeting with al-Assad.
(BTW, if Pelosi decided to run for president, I’d vote for her over Hillary in a heartbeat!)
April 5th, 2007 at 3:07 pm” that’s not treason — what Pelosi did was.”

For the RECORD….. Your WRONG!!!!
In order to DECLASSIFY something, the declassification MUST be authorized by the ORIGINATOR……
Is Bush the Originator of Classifying Plame???? NO!!!!
So he can request that she is DECLASSIFIED, but the final say is the CIA…… (the originator)
This comes from a 20+ year ex-CIA who would know better than you, how declassification works….. No I am not referiing to me… I heard him on the radio, and he gave details about this and how declassification works……
The president can declassify what ever he wants, but that does not mean that it happens…… I must first be APPROVED by the ORIGINATOR.
Now go learn how our government works……. Bush is NOT KING, and there is a process for doing things like that.

The Bush Doctrine is name given to a set of guidelines first unveiled by President George W. Bush in a speech given on June 1, 2002. The policies, taken together, outlined a broad new phase in US policy that would place greater emphasis on military pre-emption, military superiority (”strength beyond challenge”), unilateral action, and a commitment to “extending democracy, liberty, and security to all regions”. The policy was formalized in a document titled The National Security Strategy of the United States of America, published on September 20, 2002. The Bush Doctrine is a marked departure from the policies of deterrence and containment that generally characterized American foreign policy during the Cold War and the decade between the collapse of the Soviet Union and 9/11.
From now on, the U.S. would “make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them”. The immediate application of this policy was the invasion of Afghanistan in early October 2001.

April 5th, 2007 at 3:12 pmIf we are at “war” with Syria, why do we have a US Embassy there?
If we are isolating Assad, why did TWO Repuke delegations visit him within the last week?
Jake is so full of shit it is oozing out his ears.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:13 pmBush is jealous that Pelosi is doing her job and doing it well.

And yet Bush has NOT attacked Saudi Arabia…. Or Dubi….. 15 of the 19 “terrorists” were from SA, and Dubi laundered money for the “terrorists”……
I guess Bush is a big pu$$ie!!!!
Keep your mind closed to the FACTS and they will bite you in the a$$ one day Jake!
April 5th, 2007 at 3:17 pmAs I stated in my first posts, Mr. McCormack is simply being nice — or Pelosi / Reid will try to defund the State Department too — Sean probably doesn’t want to get subpoenaed either and harrassed to death by political SHOW TRIALS back here while Pelosi plays nice with our enemies ABROAD!
April 5th, 2007 at 3:17 pmThe trolls are freaking out because their beloved Chimp in Chief is losing it. Deep down inside, the trolls realize they backed an incompetent fool.
These trolls live in a fantasy bizarro world and cannot be brought back to their senses. You can’t talk facts to them, they discount the facts.
WE are in serious trouble because these 30%ers have been completely brainwashed into rabid librrul-haters who would follow Chimpy off a cliff.
Our nation has been split in two by Chimpy and his thugs.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:18 pmIf the REPUBLICAN Speaker of the House had done this during the Korean War, he would have been tried for treason and shot.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:18 pmDamascus Nancy….. As any diplomat with knowledge of the region could have told Ms. Pelosi, Mr. Assad is a corrupt thug……
Comment by Patrick1
Hey Patty, that’s a good shot at Pelosi. Maybe you ought to send it into Sean Hannity as it might catch on. And her trying to be diplomatic by talking with a corrupt thug. I mean, she ought to just switch parties and snuggle up Putin over in Russia. Bush has seen his heart, you know.
Or that pre-war darling of the right wing, Ahmed Chalabi and his BS and lies that helped us get into the Iraq War. Him, Cheney, and Wolfowitz were big buddies, you know, and Chalabi even managed to get himself set up for a while in the new Iraqi government. And Dick Cheney and his Halliburton empire? Or guys like Duke Cunningham?
Really, Patty, you shouldn’t leave yourself open mentioning “corrupt thug” around here or you could fill the blog with hundreds of Bush thug entries.

April 5th, 2007 at 3:20 pmThis is how a troll gets his laughs. He does this because he thinks it’s like dangling raw steak in front of a Rottweiler. Want to make him sad? Ignore him.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:20 pmThe truth is that if Nancy Pelosi and others like her talk to Syria, constructive things will be done, averting confrontation. So put your fingers back in your ears reichwingers and chant something loud to drown out any words of real progress.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:21 pm“From now on, the U.S. would “make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor themâ€.” = except for saudi arabia [see i.s.g. report] and pakistan [see musharaf’s ‘truce’ with the frontier province tribes]
April 5th, 2007 at 3:22 pmPelosi should be arrested, tried for treason, and shot.

April 5th, 2007 at 3:22 pmJohn Bolton is an idiot. Congress refused to okay his appointment so Chimpy gave him a recess appointment.
Anybody who is quoting John Bolton to prove a point has already lost.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:24 pmDuring REAL wars, people, there’s only ONE Commander-in-Chief!
What we need is a REAL Commander in Chief! Too bad Pelosi has to do the job! Bush should just stay on vacation for the rest of his term so the grown-ups can clean up after him.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:24 pmPelosi should be arrested, tried for treason, and shot.

Stupid troll.
Pelosi has broken no laws. She has not committed any crimes by visiting Assad, much less treason.
And a bunch of Repukes visited Assad this week too.
I notice the troll is not demanding the Repukes be shot too.
Go back under your bridge, stupid troll.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:25 pmnone of those Representatives are Speaker of the House, SECOND IN LINE for the Presidency.†= straw man
no to mention wrong. the vice president is second in line…but it’s not like jake ever needs facts to make an argument… what do you expect from a 25 year old repbulican hack who would lie and say he’s a korean war vet?

I believe Jake means Bush…….
After all…. It was Bush who did NOTHING on 9/11. By doing nothing he allowed 9/11 to happen, which is treason!!!!!
He knew it was coming and that it was going on, yet did NOTHING!!! AF1 was threatened using coded language on 9/11….. So it was a “inside job” and Bush was warned to do nothing, which is what he did. This is TREASON!!!!
Can you say TREASON??
We know Jake can, and his mind is probably confussing Pelosi with Bush….
April 5th, 2007 at 3:27 pmTommy - Stillllll misunderstanding the concept, and guarantee, of political Free Speech?? I’m beginning to think you are unteachable…..
Toooodles…..
April 5th, 2007 at 3:28 pmThe last thing Israel wants is peace. I mean the people do, but not the Likudites. They want TERRITORY. The only way to create the Greater Israel (Eretz Israel) is through what Ledeen calls TOTAL WAR.
Ask Myrav Wurmser (wife of Cheney’s top advisor on Middle East affairs) how bad she wants to bomb Iran.
These are all war mongers, plain and simple. All of them.
They want to own all of the land and resources and kill all of their enemies, only they want us to do it for them, provoked by false flag operations - Israel’s stock in trade.
Pelosi is a tool of AIPAC.

Syria is not our enemy. We have a US Embassy there.
And a lot of Repukes have been visiting there this week.
Go back under your bridge, stupid troll.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:29 pmBushCo is scared stiff because Pelosi looks so presidential. If they were impeached, she’d be…PRESIDENT!
You go girl.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:29 pmjakeoff: You would shoot Pelosi without a CONVICTION, first. You are a classless asshat.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:30 pmStop responding to Jake. Take a step back and then come back here after an hour and look at the nonsense that we are arguing with. It is quite insane really. The trolls comments don’t even fit into a category other than comedy. They are very desperate to concoct a news story that isn’t there.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:32 pmThe republicans attempts to hijack foreign policy during the 90’s and their current fear at having their foreigh policy (if you can call such an abysmal failure a foreign policy) and their current manufactured dismay at Pelosi point to one thing only. The Rethugs are not now and never have acted in the best interests of the United States. Republicans only take care of other (rich) Republicans. George Bush, or Cheney or Issa or any other republican trash will never be good representatives of the US.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:32 pmVery mean hater baters today.
Bush has gone against his own doctrine. Pakistan hasn’t been attacked by us, either has Saudi Arabia.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:34 pmThe reason Bush’s base is so damn ignorant? They can’t read.
Oh, you CAN read?
Then READ COMMENT 83 AGAIN. Republicans were there 2 days before Pelosi!
So easy to dupe…and the republican party knows it.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:42 pmFor the record, the Vice President is first IN LINE — Speaker is second IN LINE — etc. I am neither 25 years old nor a Republican. I am also not going to defend my service to the nation from Korea to a bunch of punks here. Anyone ELSE (NOT on the “Ignore List”)?

Where’s the call of treason? These are elected house representatives.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:52 pmHow about telling Ms. Pelosi to take the chip off her shoulder. She needs to willingly admit that she really overstepped the President and the State Department.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:53 pmIsn’t this whole thing about preserving the plan of PNAC written in the ’90’s? Go after Iraq, then Iran then Syria… and on page 51i n order for the American people to go along we needed a new Pearl Harbor ( 9/11 and someone please give me an accurate fact as to why building 7 went down). Pearl Harbor, Iraq went along as planned and isn’t Pelosi putting the breaks to Syria and hopefully Iran? Over 70% of our population is sick to death of all the mayhem want an end to the killingd and yet corporate owned con media is still out there ( who is paying them?) beating the PNAC drum.

Shut Up!
Thanks
April 5th, 2007 at 3:58 pmFor the record, I think the person who posts as “unbelievable” (ironically) gave more than one fact as to why Bldg. 7 went down.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:58 pmJake - they gave aid and comfort just by being there. That’s using Bush’s own logic. They visited Syrian officials is Damascus, didn’t they? Yes they did. These are congressmen - they just happen to be republicans. And they beat Pelosi to the punch by 2 days.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:58 pmTrolls: “I know you are, but what am I?”
This is what happens when you take their bait. Ignore them and they’ll have to find someone else to annoy.
April 5th, 2007 at 3:59 pmActually, the troubling thing is that Syria has been at war with us for quite a few years. We just haven’t gotten around to reciprocating.
Anyhow, I really like the idea of having multiple foreign policies (and trade agreements). When that happens, we won’t ever need a President. Every Senator or member of the House or Representatives can negotiate with whomever they want and we can finally say goodbye to America. Thank you, Nancy! I have also heard that Florida would like to retake Cuba and, with this model, that can happen. California can then enter into trade discussions with Mexico and perhaps form a political relationship. The possiblities are endless! Who needs the Constitution anyway…it was probably written by some bitch white guy.
April 5th, 2007 at 4:00 pmYou want to be really mad at someone. Get PO’d at the State Dept. for allowing this trip. They supplied the fricking plane as well as signing off on it.
Let’s get that traitor Rice and anyone else who approved such a terrible display. I mean diplomacy? We haven’t had a need for that in 6 years. Nevermind there’s a US embassy in Syria and the review of all meetings have been looked at by the State Dept. showing that no boundaries were overstepped.
We can’t allow this type of communication and attempt to understand anybody else when there’s TERRORIST’s out there.
I can’t wait to hear from the Decider on this so he can fire Rice and throw her in Jail.
April 5th, 2007 at 4:00 pmFolks, learn how stupid the WHite House really believes you are. And in many cases, they’re absolutely right.
…….
Pelosi’s outreach to a state sponsor of terrorism is a “really bad idea,” White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said at a briefing in Washington. “Someone should take a step back and think about the message that it sends and the message that it sends to our allies.”
Perino’s remarks come as a group of Republican lawmakers has embarked on their own trip to Syria. Michael Lowry, a spokesman for Representative Robert Aderholt, said that the Alabama lawmaker will visit Syria as part of a Republican delegation led by Representative Frank Wolf, a Virginia Republican. Wolf is the top Republican on the House appropriations subcommittee that funds the State Department.
Perino wasn’t available to comment about that trip.
April 5th, 2007 at 4:01 pmThis post is meant as a rebuttal to a few points made by a certain lying, mindless troll:
Pelosi’s visit did not break the US embargo against Syria. The Bush administration has imposed trade, and banking sanctions against that country, but a visit from a foreign official does not break any “embargo”. This is one of the more ridiculous, laughable claims made lately.
A Republican delegation met with Syrian Pres. Hassan before Pelosi, so the previous claim about Pelos “breaking” an embargo looks even ridiculous -if that is possible.
Claims that a Representative should not visit the enemy in times of war are equally absurd: Syria is not at war with the US, the “global war on terror”, the “Axis of Evil”, and the Bush doctrine notwithstanding.
April 5th, 2007 at 4:01 pm“And, none of them gave comfort and support to the enemy during wartime.
Comment by Jake — April 5, 2007 @ 3:56 pm”
So when are you going to PROVE that we are at war????
Please provide me with the DECLARATION OF WAR provided by Congress…..
We were the agressors here….. We did not go to Iraq to help fight off some invading force, we are the invading force…
I won’t hold my breath for that proof though……
Show me the proof Jake. Show me a link to the Declaration of war by Congress……
If you can show me that, I will stand beside you 110%
April 5th, 2007 at 4:02 pm“I stand by my assertion that you lie about your service.”
you mean the “service” as in “mass”, as in “i attended a southern baptist catholic service”?
April 5th, 2007 at 4:02 pmThat’s correct #10.
And as to Condoleessa Rice, she is useless.
We as a nation should be as one when it comes to the troops, but all I can see is the Republicans protected their asses I mean assets.
For a party of the Religious, they lie, steal, cheat, dividing the country, and are pro war no matter what the cost is.
I am a Christian, but I do not belong to their kind of Christianity. If Christ tried to speak with these people, they would probably put him into Gitmo.
Back to the subject. First, Nancy is a strong leader and a woman and a Democrat. I know they truly hate that. Second, she is not afraid of them, and they truly truly hate that.
April 5th, 2007 at 4:03 pmHey Jake,
You and I completely agree. pelosi (small p) has no business trying to set U.S. foreign policy during a time of war. Yes, Republicans have gone to Syria to talk to Assad, but they are there REINFORCING and REITERATING the U.S. State Department position that Syria MUST stop it’s support and export of terror, not trying to solve a conflict that has gone on for time itself like pelosi is doing. She is completely overmatched in the arena of international politics and diplomacy but is on such a power trip she’s assuming she’s got some legitimate “alternative” to official policy. She’s mistaken.
We are NOT at war with Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan. We’re at war with a violent, fanatical ideology; one that IS supported by Syria and USED to be supported by Iraq. One that could and would kill every poster on this board, simply because we’re infidels. No hesitation, no second thoughts. This ideology resorts to killing fellow muslims, using children as suicide car bombers and they don’t hesitate to hide behind women when bullets are flying their way.
President Bush has done an excellent job in this war, (NO attacks since 9//11 in the U.S. except for lone, lunatic muzzies shooting up malls and running over college kids with SUV’s which due to leftist enforced politcal correctness the DHS refuses to label as “terrorism”) and he deserves our support.
When and IF the dems win in ‘08 (doubtful since she’s pissing off even moderate democrats who are liberal on most issues but who support the war on terror), they can set all the policy they want. She has made the mistake of taking a slim win in ‘06 and calling it a “mandate”. It’s a mandate which isn’t there except in the shallow minds of far-left moonbats.
Hang in there Jake, the best we can try and do is educate.

Libocrats derided Bush Sr. for not invading Baghdad and deride Bush Jr. for doing so. Go figger.
Jake, you got ‘em on the run.
April 5th, 2007 at 4:03 pmI posted this before in another thread, but it is relevant here too -
At this point, not even Republican Congressmen care what the Bush administration says. Or at least not when it comes to Syria:
“I don’t care what the administration says on this. You’ve got to do what you think is in the best interest of your country,” said Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va. “I want us to be successful in Iraq. I want us to clamp down on Hezbollah.”
3 Republicans part with Bush on Syria
Clearly, Rep Wolf has already separated love for his country from blind following of the Dear (mis)Leader; a concept the 30%ers have yet to wrap their teeny little minds around.
April 5th, 2007 at 4:06 pmFred Farkle, if republicans are really there for policy needs and Pelosi isn’t, what is the White House doing playing politics with peace? If what you say is true, then the republicans are putting party above country. That’s called treason in some circles.
Wise up already, you are way too easily fooled by this administration and by now you really should know better - it’s been 6 years of this, it’s at the point where everything they do is highly predictable and is always the diametric opposite of what’s best for american citizens.

The mind of the right is something we should waste….
Did they EVER hit anyone of our planes???? NO!
By the way…. The UN is the one who has the LEGAL authority to allow another country to attack a soverigrn (SP) nation. By the AUMF, Bush was REQUIRED to get APPROVAL from the UN before attacking…….
I know that FACTS confuse the Republicans, but try to understand that Bush is a War Criminal and someday he and his administration will be held accountable for that.
PERIOD!
“Anyhow, the point was not Iraq. It was anywhere but the US.”
So now we can just consider ourselves to be GODS and attack anyone we desire….. You people are so sick, and I bet that most of you Republicans who armchair quarterback war have never served….. Chickenhawks is all you are.
April 5th, 2007 at 4:13 pmJake,
The Korean war was never a declared war, it was a “Police Action” if you had served in the conflict you would know this. (You would be aware of this even if you where old enough to have watched M.A.S.H.
on TV) You really don’t need to lie to make a point, even if it is wrong.
And for the record Vietnam was also an undeclared war and is also referred to as a Police Action.

April 5th, 2007 at 4:19 pm#58 Oh I am dying with that one — chastising Pelosi for playing politics with national security — why are you saying that? Concerned that she stole a page out of the Bush/Rove playbook — that’s all they have done. In case you missed it, the Iraq war was entirely a political play — pick on the weakest link of the “Axis of Evil” thinking easy victory, prance around the deck of a battleship in a flight suit with a sock stuffed in your crotch, declare victory, stir up the brain-dead masses’ nationalistic, military fetishism and install your delusional permanent Republican majority. Oh, except one thing — these dimwits forgot they had to actually govern.
Yeah, certainly no politics with national security there. Or haven’t you noticed those little color alerts staged at key times during the 2004 election have oddly disappeared. I am just hoping to find some fool who will wager and pay me one dollar everytime the IDIOT Monarch, George, invokes 9/11 as the wheels continue to come off his BS administration.

April 5th, 2007 at 4:21 pmand Syria is not an enemy in wartime jake the 25 year old is too stupid to understand that though. he’d (if that is his real gender, he’s lied about everything else) rather repeat the same thing over and over again, until he gets what he wants, like he did 10 years ago when he wanted to stop at McDonald’s during a road trip. It’s his parents’ fault i guess.
April 5th, 2007 at 4:22 pm“You can jump in the toilet right next to hacker bob too, for all I care. You’re damn right I am getting sick and tired of all your whiny-ass PINKOS!”
that hurts…until i remember the time you said that jesus pleaded the 5th. then it doesn’t hurt because i’m laughing
April 5th, 2007 at 4:23 pmRepublicans ” govern” or “oversight” ..please help help me…..what is that. I never had to do that over the past 7 years.
I being a Republican don’t understand those concepts.
All I understand is lie, cheat,kill, steal.
The isolated republicans.
RepublicanS on VACATION till 1/2009
April 5th, 2007 at 4:24 pmKatrina The response to Katrina was the responsibility of the State of Louisiana and local New Orleans “leadership” first and foremost. The Federal Government - Bush - wanted to Federalize the National Guard and move in immediately (before the storm hit). Blanco sat on her a*s for 2 days before she said no..
Gas Prices - Ever hear of the free market? That’s what determines oil/gas prices
Income Inequality for Americans - Get an education, apply yourself, make correct decisions and the income goes up. Do drugs, get pregnant, don’t study and you get the bed you made and live on welfare.
Walter Reed - The Secretary of the Army resigned and the CO was fired. What more do you want?

Your a lying scumbag
What was your MOS, if you served, Jake-ass?
April 5th, 2007 at 4:26 pmDemocrats: playing nice with our enemies ever since Benedict Arnold.

Pretty good, Jake, considering that the Democratic Party wasn’t around in 1789, DUMBA**. Study your history.

Every time I read something like this I have to smile.
Since when does Pres Bush need help to look bad? He has made a disaster out of his most important policy goals -unless, that is, you still think things in Iraq are going “swimmingly”, and that the US is “winning” the Global War on Terror.
April 5th, 2007 at 4:28 pmFor the record, no REPUBLICAN Speaker of the House visited our enemies during a war — Harry S Truman would have rightly arrested Joseph William Martin and had him tried for treason had he gone to Korea during that (â€notâ€) war too.

Jake - What about the THREE GOP Congressman in Syria earler this week? What about the GOP Congressmen going along with Pelosi??
Say it with me now… HYPOCRITE!!
April 5th, 2007 at 4:29 pmAnd, none of them gave comfort and support to the enemy during wartime.
Jake,
Show me a G**da** DECLARATION OF WAR PASSED BY CONGRESS against SYRIA or shut you f***in pie-hole!
If we have an embassy there, if members of BOTH PARTIES engage in diplomatic visits, then WE CAN’T BE AT WAR WITH THEM. It’s basic political science (I should know - I got a B.A. in the subject in college with an emphasis on international relations and American government).
The fact you want Pelosi arrested for going on a trip APPROVED by the White House and the U.S. State Department proves how OUT-OF-TOUCH with reality you are!
April 5th, 2007 at 4:29 pmNo, that’s wrong, I was the one who served in WWII and I’m a Catholic — see how easy it is to FAKE someone else’s posts?!
April 5th, 2007 at 4:30 pmMan, it’s never pretty to observe a NeoCON just lose it and break down. But just like a horrific accident on the highway, you just have to look!
Captain Kirk did the same thing on another thread.
All I can say is….PRICELESS!
April 5th, 2007 at 4:30 pm“Walter Reed - The Secretary of the Army resigned and the CO was fired. What more do you want?”
mold is awesome, especially when you’re recovering from an injury you’ve suffered in iraq. you are the master of parody.
April 5th, 2007 at 4:31 pmSince when does Pres Bush need help to look bad? He has made a disaster out of his most important policy goals -unless, that is, you still think things in Iraq are going “swimmingly†As a matter of fact I do. All we ever get out of the liberal MSM is horror stories; the good news never makes it, and that the US is “winning†the Global War on Terror.As a matter of fact I believe we are, one dead terrorist at a time
