Maybe she needs to get her eyes checked.

Maybe , they will keep her!

this woman truly is delusional, as her recent comments have confirmed. she literally thinks she's in charge.

Pelosi is attempting a Constituional coup, to set herself up as de facto president, an attempt to take over the executive branch responsibilities. It is the duty of the White House to fight this. Checks and Balances! It means something!

Would someone please take this woman aside and explain that she was made Speaker of the House...that she was NOT elected President?

Uh...excuse me? These sound like the delusions of the left, complaining about imperialist Bush.

Can we take a moment and breathe, please?

I think President Bush and the Cabinet should immediately commence writing and enacting funding bills for the military. After all, if the Speaker of the House is going to conduct foreign policy...

Well I hope she enjoys her stay over there. Perhaps she can be convinced to extend her visit?

The Season for Treason

I'd wish she and Nostrilitus Waxman were taken hostage, but I'm not like them.

These people are a disgrace.

It would be great if the Brits decided to act on Iran during her stay.

Not to worry, folks. I'm sure Nancy is going into this with her eyes wide open. Can't help it, actually.

While our soldiers are being killed with the assistance of the Syrian government this moron sends them the message that democrats will surrender. You stupid B***.

redux

* * Irony Alert * *

Wasn't Nancy Pelosi just last week lecturing George Bush and the Executive Branch over the seperations of power and how the different branches worked? Something like: "This is Congresses job...get used to it".

Dang it would be great if someone could find that link. CNN? CSPAN?

Sorry for the early OT:

OT: Loseweek moonbat rants over Iran:

Brinksmanship Doesn’t Always End in Battle
America and Iran are barreling toward a collision. It doesn't have to be this way.
By Michael Hirsh
Newsweek
Updated: 8:30 p.m. ET March 29, 2007

March 29, 2007 - Is war between the United States, its allies and Iran inevitable? It certainly feels that way right now. This is a tit-for-tat escalation right out of the textbook. Since Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Navy seized 15 British sailors in the Persian Gulf last week, Tehran has paraded the captives before TV cameras and elicited apologies from them in a way that probably violates the Geneva Conventions (which bar humiliating treatment of prisoners). Iran’s armed forces have fired off new test missiles, while George W. Bush has put on the biggest show of U.S. naval power in the Gulf in years.

British sailors have been detained before, most recently in a similar Gulf incident in 2004. But this time, Tehran shows no sign of releasing its prisoners soon. The standoff is expected to continue while the United States holds Iranian personnel inside Iraq under mysterious circumstances and British Prime Minister Tony Blair petitions the United Nations to secure his sailors’ freedom, rather than talking directly with Tehran. Blair’s approach to the U.N. will only aggravate the dispute, says one international diplomat who is familiar with Tehran’s thinking, who requested anonymity when speaking of such sensitive matters. After last week’s second resolution against its nuclear program, Iran takes a particularly dim view of the Security Council. Not surprisingly, Iran abruptly dropped a conciliatory offer to release the lone female prisoner, and Tehran’s chief nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, warned that the prisoners now “may face a legal path”—a clear threat to prosecute them, possibly as spies. “The British have got to come down from their high horse. They’ve got to work at solving this bilaterally,” says the international diplomat. “They shouldn’t take the higher moral ground.” [Link: [Link: www.msnbc.msn.com...]...]

I hope Israelis give her the same warm welcome Bush got in Latin America.

Traveling with Pelosi will be Congressmen Keith Ellison (D-MN), Nick Rahall (D-WV), Tom Lantos (D-CA), Henry Waxman (D-CA), and David Hobson (R-OH).

Only one R.

Pelosi is a Democrat - Democrats support terrorism, nuclear Iran, and the emasculation of our military and nation.

Don't vote Democrat - ever.

She probably trying to get away from Camp CodePink on her lawn.

Violationof the Logan Act.

When we should appear, and need to be, united and strong.

Copperhead.

As long as I shall vote, I shall never forget these days.

sickening idiot. like she has anything heartfelt and worthwhile to say to israel.

Freakin' amateur hour!
Check the collection of LLL morons that's going along.
Waxman, Ellison, Nadler, etc...

She finally gets her damn 757 now.

As I always say, we dont need to worry, San Fran Nan is on the case.

Maybe we can put her on a boat and send her to Amadinajad?! Who am i kidding, the Iranians would just send her back.

Who/whom will fetch her back if she's kidnapped?

at least they have ellison with them

Trout

Congressman Hobson serves on the House Appropriations Committee. He is the Ranking Member of the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Subcommittee, and is also a senior Member of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee.

Hobson

The President must have plans for some kind of action in the ME.

The last time a Democrat went into Syria was on the eve of the Iraq war...and he warned the Syrians... How can Harry Reid not be considered a traitor for that?

Why don't we ask the British Sailors if these people can be persuaded simply by sitting down and "talking"? If these people are so reasonable and open to dialogue, perhaps Nancy would like to go there and pursue a position as, oh I don't know, Empress of the Delusional. She can take Rosie O'Donnell with her as her head of state as Ms. O'Donnell trusts the
Iranians more than our government. I'll buy the plane tickets, who'd like to help them pack?

Someone should force Pelosi to read the Constitution, you know the part where it outlines just exactly WHO is responsible for diplomacy. This is an outrage. Nancy Pelosi is NOT the President of the United States, nor has she been appointed by either him or the American People to carry out diplomatic missions on our behalf.

She should be impeached and tried for treason!

For all of you who back in November said there was no reason to vote, and who wanted to teach the Republicans a lesson...

Thank you.

REMARKS BY CONGRESSMAN DAVE HOBSON ON HOUSE CON. RES. 63 – IRAQ WAR RESOLUTION

Like Mr. Shays, I rise in opposition to this resolution. This is the wrong resolution to be considering if we in Congress are supposed to be fulfilling our responsibility to provide oversight on how this war is being conducted.

Rather than debating the so-called "surge," which is already taking place, we should be debating how to put a policy in place that will bring stability to Iraq and ensure the security of the American people.

Well, at least he's not a complete jerk.

Not only is Britain a paper tiger but what would you call the US at this point? And they are leaning on Israel with their misguided suicidal Saudi inspired plans.

Shouldn't we have a national mourning day or an international mourning day for western civilization?
Sorry to be so depressing heading into Passover and Easter.

Not so much. We haven't wished her dead, nor have we wished a horrific disease upon her, nor have we wished giant dinosaurs come along and eat her (well, maybe that, but a little fantasizing is ok now and again).

Breathe nothing. This woman is going and putting you, me and everyone else in this Country at risk because she thinks her charm and wiles will somehow make these people love us. She is dangerous. I volunteer to inform her she is Speaker of the House, NOT President, NOT Queen, but Speaker.

The Democrats seem to be setting up a separate government with its own suicidally blind idea of who’s a terrorist and who isn’t (basically, nobody is)

Good Evening, Lizards!

Why is it that Democratic politicians always want to suck up to governments that are openly hostile to the U.S? They should leave the diplomacy to the DIPLOMATS. That's their JOB. And foreign policy is the POTUS' job. Pelosi needs to do HER job, not try to do everyone else's.

Or maybe it IS just an excuse to run away from Code Pink. A terrifying lot, they are.

Come on. Talking with the Arab leaders in the Middle East totally makes it all peaceful and junk. Look at Israel and Palestine. Talking and negotiating with Arafat toally worked.

Do you realize that skank is 3rd in line to the throne? If Bush and Cheney die or are incapacitated, say hi to President Pelosi.

Ready for that scenario?

Yes I do. I went and looked it up a week or two back and posted the succession, back when Cheney was in the hospital.

OT
... but speaking of traitors,
Here is the webpage for The View. You'll see on the upper left where you can 'Email Your View' to the hosts... all of them except Rosie that is. Gee, I wonder why?

"seem to be" is an understatement. BUT will Bush find the grit to shine light on this shadow -- or will he just keep on apologizing ad infinitum?

Just visiting there leader.

The Democrats foreign policy strategy is Jimmy Carter to the core. Talking. Understanding. Tea-sipping. That will save us.

The current crop of lefty- Democrats ARE Jimmy Carter, redux.

There's not much I can personally do to overturn what Pelosi has done this week, but I can try to blunt her sneaky, underhanded vote of no confidence on our brothers and sisters in arms by sending packages and letters to them in Iraq and Afghanistan and letting them know how much we appreciate their work and love them as America's best.

If you would like to write or send a package to our fighting forces abroad, one place for info is AnySoldier.com.

That last bit of flatulence I had I dedicate to sanfrannan.

Forget her patriotism, can we question her sanity now? What a grandiose buffoon.

who’s a terrorist and who isn’t (basically, nobody is)

Wrong. George Bush, Evangelical Christians/Zionists (especially Jewish ones), Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, and Charles Johnson.

The issues taking place now are much much larger then either Pelosi or Bush.

This is the part that I think many Republicans and most Democrats are missing. These types of actions are not a "finger in the eye" of George Bush and his war but instead a "finger in the eye" of loyalty to the United States, its Constitution, and the entire idea of American Democracy. We have a system that has sustained us for over 100 years and helped the United States accomplish more in that time then most countries have done in 1000s of years. The childish, and partisian one-downmanship that is taking place these days is ripping apart our great nation.

The irony of a Democratic congress destroying the foundation of our Government and the Constitution after 6 years of claiming that the Republicans were doing just that would be hillarious if the results weren't going to be so destructive.

Something needs to be done.

she's so gd arrogant and stupid to think she's going to just hot box it over there and get anything done except trouble for us. she's a dangerous fool. it really is becoming the theater of the absurd.

What in the hell is wrong with Pelosi? As some have said, maybe they'll keep her. Bush ma not be handling it all so well either, but she is trouble and will cause even more danger.

nyc redneck

So, you gonna be downtown manana?

I'm telling you that Nancy Pelosi's biggest problem (besides she's a breeding lib) is that the woman is a complete moron.

Have you ever listened closely to her without the cue card? It would be laughable if she weren't so dangerous. The left claims George Bush mumbles? He's Patrick Henry next to this POS.

OT ; Hamas issues warning to lift ban

Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh issued a vague warning on Friday that Hamas would reassess its options if economic sanctions were not lifted on the Palestinian unity government within two to three months.

Haniyeh did not say what the Islamic group would do if his timeline was not met, but a top aide, Ghazi Hamad, said dissolving the unity government was not an option.

"If the siege continues for two to three more months, we will study our options... and we will take a decision that will protect our dignity and will protect our interests," Haniyeh said without elaborating.

--Jon

The visit will make Pelosi the most senior U.S. official ever to meet with President Assad.

Could this be because most senior U.S. Officials know extending diplomacy to enemies of our Country is treasonous? Is it because once you are a senior U.S. Official you typically have YOUR countries best interests as a top priority?

Why, she's heading over to meet her constituents of course!

Will she be laying a wreath at Arafat's grave, too?

Why the hell would the Knesset even want her delivering a speech?

I guess there must be a lull in non-binding legislation. Maybe she's on a celebration tour with our foes in light of her anti-American legislation...

Are you ready for the next SCANDAL, "crying for impeachment"?!

AP: Gen. tried to warn Bush on Tillman

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Just seven days after Pat Tillman's death, a top general warned there were strong indications that it was friendly fire and President Bush might embarrass himself if he said the NFL star-turned-soldier died in an ambush, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press.

It was not until a month afterward that the Pentagon told the public and grieving family members the truth — that Tillman was mistakenly killed in Afghanistan by his comrades.

The memo reinforces suspicions that the Pentagon was more concerned with sparing officials from embarrassment than with leveling with Tillman's family.

#85 kirche

That would be something to see! The Chinless Wonder holding an even better hand than the mullahs. The question is, who would be slower in getting them back, Blair or Bush?

Does any know what's on the itinerary for this trip? I have been looking all over for some kind of agenda for discussion and found nothing. It almost seems like Pelosi and Al-Assad will have a nice little photo-op of them drinking tea together then stare awkwardly at each over until the hour meeting is over.

Here's a fun game: let's pretend you are Nancy Pelosi. What do you say to Al-Assad? Personally, I would say "You have been used your entire career as head of state of Syria. You let Saddam use you, and now you're letting the Iranians use you. Do you think the Iranians would let you be Viceroy of Syria if their expanionist ambitions are met? Do you honestly think the Iranians want anyone in power other than the Guardian Council? Take a hint from Dubai. When you Arabs simply act normal you have enough resource wealth to build indoor ski slopes. Instead you have pissed away your wealth and prestige on a silly, aggressive Pan-Arabism that none of your older fellow Arab heads of state believe in anymore. Simply pathetic. You could have been one of the greatest statesmen in modern Arab history: you're Western educated, young, and you speak English. You could have been the great emancipator of Syria. Instead you act like a clown in service of obsolete ideals. Pathetic."

White House Official Criticizes Pelosi Visit to Syria (Update1)

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.''
Pelosi's office today announced that she will visit Israel and address the Israeli Knesset on Sunday, and late today confirmed the planned stop in Syria as part of the trip with five other lawmakers. Her spokesman, Brendan Daly, said that the Iraq Study Group led by former Secretary of State James Baker last year recommended that the Bush administration hold talks with Syria and Iran without conditions to help stabilize Iraq.

I can picture Polosi “negotiating” with Assad: “If you can increase the suicide bombings I will get my friends in Hollywood to splash it across the TV screens in America. Soon, we will have won the war and Bush and his baby killers will withdraw…[blink, blink, blink..] Oh, remember to donate to my campaign.”

On a serious note, if Bush were smart he would launch an attack just as Assad and Al Dinnerjacket are “negotiating” with Pelosi. With Pelosi distracting them with her "offers" and constant blinking the strike would come at a good moment.

Tell Karl to grab the keys to the plane.

Forget anymore attacks. The time for military action is past. No one anywhere any longer has the stomach for it and nobody in a position of power has the intestinal fortitude to stand up. After all of the abuse President Bush has taken leaders in other countries who may consider it only look to the polls to see how tenious their hold on power is and once they realize they don't have the popular support or at least the support of the news media those ideas are shelved. I am afraid that darker days are ahead.

King Crimson classic written close to 40 years ago:
Very prescient:

Epitaph
The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
As silence drowns the screams.
Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
and laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.

Pelosi is going because the bible of how to deal with Islamic extremism known as the ISG (Iraqi Study Group) said so.

Pelosi will be traveling to Syria has part of Congressional delegation. On the trip, she also plans to visit several other countries in the region, including Israel, where she will deliver a speech to the Knesset.

She is going over there to sell out Israel...and bow a knee to Baal.

The left would have no problem throwing Bush under the bus, or down the stairs. They wish death upon Dick Cheney, and hope Tony Snow suffers from a horrible disease. But this picture truly shows what an honorable, decent, compassionate man George W. Bush is, like his politics or not.

New Orleans judge orders suspects freed

NEW ORLEANS - A judge on Friday ordered the release of up to 42 criminal defendants, saying they aren't being adequately represented by the city's financially struggling indigent defenders office, but he immediately delayed the order to mid April.

It wasn't clear how many suspects would be released after April 18 if Orleans Criminal Court Judge Arthur Hunter's order stands.

The order would suspend their prosecution but not dismiss the charges against them.

I've watched this group enough to believe they are not smart enough to pull of the former. I am more inclined to believe they really think we did the wrong thing in Iraq. They are wrong. But that doesn't mean they are planning to overthrow the gov't and install communism. Are they aiding and abetting our enemy, absolutely! Will they be successful, no way... We won't allow that to happen.

Do they plan to go to Mecca too, and get the souvenir kaffiya? Must we call her Nancy Hajji Pelosi from now on? Has a nice ring to it, I think.

"In our view, it is not the right time to have these sort of high-profile visitors to Syria," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters Friday.

Pelosi will not be the first member of Congress in recent months to travel to Syria, but as House speaker she is the most senior.

"This is a country that is a state sponsor of terror, one that is trying to disrupt the Saniora government in Lebanon and one that is allowing foreign fighters to flow into Iraq from its borders," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

'Chocolate Jesus' Outrages [peaceful] Christians

The Easter season unveiling of an anatomically correct chocolate sculpture of Jesus Christ, dubbed "My Sweet Lord" by its creator, has infuriated Catholics preparing to observe some of their holiest days of the year.

The 6-foot sculpture by Cosimo Cavallaro was to debut Monday evening, four days before Christians mark the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Good Friday. The final day of the exhibit at the Lab Gallery inside Manhattan's Roger Smith Hotel was planned for Easter Sunday.

"This is one of the worst assaults on Christian sensibilities ever," said Bill Donohue, head of the Catholic League, a watchdog group. "It's not just the ugliness of the portrayal, but the timing - to choose Holy Week is astounding."

The gallery's creative director, Matt Semler, said the Lab and the hotel were overrun with angry telephone calls and e-mails. The gallery was considering its options, he said. AP

Iran is blaming the US and Israel for its decision to withhold information from the outside world on its nuclear program, saying in a confidential letter obtained Friday that their "warmongering" led it

to curtail cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The International Atomic Energy Agency - the UN monitor - in turn told Iran that it is defying the 35-nation board of the agency with its move and urged it to reverse its decision. (AP)

Tehran, 30 March (AKI) - Former Iranian reformist president Seyyed Ahmad Khatami, leading Friday prayers in the capital, has fiercely criticised the reformists and internal dissidents, who in a recent document, signed by 600 people, urged the suspension of uranium enrichment to avoid new sanctions and avoid a possible military attack against Iran. "The anti Iranian resolutions and the sanctions will not in any way affect the will of our government and out people to pursue uranium enrichment," said Khatami.

"Whoever in the country adds his voice to those of our enemies asking for suspension is either a traitor or has been tricked," Khatami said.

"These stupid people or traitors will be isolated by the great Iranian people who unanimously support the Islamic Revolution and its values," he said.He also defined Britain as "a former colonial power defeated by history and now acting as an intermediary for the United States."

Friday saw another small protest rally by students outside the British embassy in Tehran, calling for the 15 captive British marines seized in the Persian Gulf a week ago.

Despite heavy security in front of the embassy, the protestors managed to hurl rocks transported there in a van.

Meanwhile during the football derby between Persepolis and Esteghlal, at Tehran's Azadi stadium, the 60,000 strong crowd was invited by loudspeakers to shout slogans against the British government, accused of aggression against the Islamic Republic.

WASHINGTON – Just when the United States is attempting to support the moderate Arab countries and form a united coalition against Iran and Syria, it appears that Riyadh is turning its back on Washington.

Washington Post columnist Jim Hoagland revealed this week that Saudi King Abdullah cancelled a mid-April White House gala without providing a convincing explanation.

According to the report, Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi national security adviser, flew to Washington last week to explain to US President George W. Bush that April 17 posed a scheduling problem.

The advice came from officers with US Central Command 5th Fleet HQ at Manama, who spoke of security tension, a hint at an approaching war with Iran. Arab sources report the positioning of a Patriot anti-missile battery in Bahrain this week; they say occupancy at emirate hotels has soared past 90% due mostly to the influx of US military personnel. They also report Western media crews normally employed in military coverage are arriving in packs.

Thursday, March 29, Gen. Khaled al-‘Absi, Bahrain’s chief of air defense operations disclosed that new alarm networks had been installed and air defense systems upgraded to handle chemical, biological and radioactive attacks.

The USS Nimitz and its support ships will be departing San Diego Monday, April 2, to join the John C. Stennis Strike Group in the Persian Gulf. The nuclear carrier is due to relieve the USS Dwight D.

He says that in fighting you shouldn't look back, you should look at the strategic realities. And the stakes in Iraq are far higher than in Afghanistan.

Which is “The Real War”?
By Charles Krauthammer
[Link: www.JewishWorldReview.com...] | "Our bill calls for the redeployment of U.S. troops out of Iraq so that we can focus more fully on the real war on terror, which is in Afghanistan."

— House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, March 8

The Senate and the House have both passed bills for ending the Iraq war, or at least liquidating the American involvement in it. The resolutions, approved by the barest majorities, were underpinned by one unmistakable theme: wrong war, wrong place, distracting us from the real war that is elsewhere.

Where? In Afghanistan. The emphasis on Afghanistan echoed across the Democratic side of the aisle in Congress from Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee to former admiral and Rep. Joe Sestak. It is a staple of the three leading Democratic candidates for the presidency, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards. It is the refrain of their last presidential candidate, John Kerry, and of their current party leader, Howard Dean, who complains that "we don't have enough troops in Afghanistan. That's where the real war on terror is."

Of all the arguments for pulling out of Iraq, the greater importance of Afghanistan is the least serious.

And not just because this argument assumes that the world's one superpower, which spends more on defense every year than the rest of the world combined, does not have the capacity to fight an insurgency in Iraq as well as in Afghanistan. But because it assumes that Afghanistan is strategically more important than Iraq.

Thought experiment: Bring in a completely neutral observer — a Martian — and point out to him that the United States is involved in two hot wars against radical Islamic insurgents. One is in Afghanistan, a geographically marginal backwater with no resources and no industrial or technological infrastructure. The other is in Iraq, one of the three principal Arab states, with untold oil wealth, an educated population, an advanced military and technological infrastructure that, though suffering decay in the later years of Saddam Hussein's rule, could easily be revived if it falls into the right (i.e., wrong) hands. Add to that the fact that its strategic location would give its rulers inordinate influence over the entire Persian Gulf region, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the Gulf states. Then ask your Martian: Which is the more important battle? He would not even understand why you are asking the question.

king crimson! hey, have you seen the movie 'children of men'? i was floored when the soundtrack included king crimsons' best song, 'chord of the crimson king'... pretty obscure late 70's stuff.

Ummm... that would be COURT of the crimson king. As for it being their best, IMHO it is a toss-up with 20th Century Schizoid Man. And not THAT obscure either... everyone I knew back then was into King Crimson, and it didn't hurt that Greg Lake went on to co-form Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. I'm going to watch Children of Men in the very near future, now I'll look forward to the soundtrack too.
