You can use all the inductive reasoning you want to but it is not possible to reach the conclusions you did in this piece without ignoring the constitution.

It is impossible to support the GWB administration unless you ignore the Constitution.

Keith Olbermann reported that Bush only stayed at the â€œPeace Summitâ€ for 3 hours. Apparently, Bushy was so deeply invested in the peace process, that he couldnâ€™t miss his afternoon bicycle ride.

Looks like we have all had similar thoughts IOKIYAR!!

Is this a concerted effort to just wear us critics down? Just continue to slap Democrats and critics of this administration until we are too exhausted to get up again?
Pelosi visits Syria – Horrors!!
Syria is invited here – Wondrous!

They rewrite history. They forget recent contradictions. The ever-eager-to-please-media breathlessly repeats the propaganda fed to them straight from the White House.
I don’t know if I have the stamina to face this onslaught of abuse from the Republiscum, Bush&Co and the press for another 14 months.

What must the critics and truth-tellers of today do in order to be recognized as such?
Actually if the media were operating at no better than mediocrity, they wouldn’t let things like this slip past the short attention span of John Q. PUblic. But that’s a dream of mine: to have a press that actually employs journalists. Bush&Co could never have gotten away with this constant barrage of bullsh*t if the press were on the job, instead of in the pocket.

Democrats are acting like a boxer inside the ring keeps running to the referee everytime he gets a punch.
Instead of hitting back, Democrats keep looking for help from outside.
Even after they won the House..they still cannot lay a good punch yet.

Do you think Syria is listening to Bush? Assad can see the polls. Why should they deal with an unpopular ruler with a paralyzed army and a plummeting currency? Pelosi was doubtless who the Syrians are interested in: How will the Democrats move?
George Bush is done. He’s not part of the future of the rest of the world. It’s looking through him.

This is exactly why the internet must be monitored. Once the data mining is in place, it would be a simple manouver to merely delete all offensive history and replace it with the “correct” history.

It would also be possible for the government to hack into every computer connected to the internet and alter its contents as well.

It would take very few Party Loyalists to accomplish such a feat, once the technology is in place.

We have seen the early stages of attempts to alter history unfold just in the past few years. They’ll get the bugs worked out soon enough.

Then we can all be perpetually ignorant.

We can all be in a perpetual state of bliss.

Let’s face it, almost 1/3 of the population is already there.

Can you point out where in the Constitution it says that a “legislative” figure is forbidden to meet with an official of a foreign state?

I’m curious… if Speaker Pelosi actually violated the law, as you say, and the right wing was up in arms about her trip (which, as has been pointed out above, was a Congressional delegation) why were she and the other members of her delegation (which included Republicans) not prosecuted?

OH for goodness sakes give this one a pass. Pelosi is Legislative. She has no constitutional ability to speak foreign policy and violated law by doing so. When the Executive does it, it is constitutional and there is no comparison between the two. You can use all the inductive reasoning you want to but it is not possible to reach the conclusions you did in this piece without ignoring the constitution.

After a break in the dialog of peace, seven years ago, Israel consumes a bit more land, so it time to have a other short sitdown. Look for the next deal in six years hence after Jerusalem is firmly in occpied land. Shame on US for repeating the lie.

Get with the program, it was RepupubliCONS who put forth the piece of sh|t bill. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s110-1959
Sen. Susan Collins [R-ME]hide cosponsors
Cosponsors [as of 2007-10-21]
Sen. Norm Coleman [R-MN]

As for RepubliCON hypocrisy on foreign Affairs. HA!
Wasn’t it ROnnie Raygun who went behind Carter and negotiated with the ENEMY (at the time) IRAN for the release of the hostages ON HIS Inaugeration date.
What fu(king, slimy, piece of SH|T that RAYGUN was. I think we should dig his dead ass up, and hang him now.

Funny how there was mention of putting the Golan Heights on the table to lure Syrian participation yet the joint announcement is totally silent on the subject.

This agreement reminds me of Vietnam where there was much fanfare that peace talks would be held in Paris. For two long years the only item being discuss was the shape of the negotating table.

Look for these talks to mirror that phase of the Paris talks. Talk of progress but only on the irrlevant and meaningless.

I wonder, did Henry Kissinger’s consulting firm get a big fat fee for coming up with this idea?

Let’s see, what did conservatives say about Clinton’s efforts in this area? I think it was something about confusing efforts with results. Will they use the same standards to judge Bush’s latest photo op? I’m guessing no.

You can’t keep lying and be a winner. The conference is dead on arrival. Bush and rice should know and they do. It’s a photo opt. That sells in America…… on fox and the printed nyt’s.
