Nancy Pelosi’s Middle Eastern jaunt, with her visits to Syria and Saudi Arabia, is so full of stupidity that I can hardly believe it. Even the lamestream media — even the left-leaning lamestream media! — has been condemning Pelosi’s arrogant, “ill-advised” efforts. Until yesterday, I thought her misrepresentation of Israeli Prime Minister Olmert’s “message” to Bushar Assad of Syria was the worst of it. But then this morning, I read this:
From YNet News:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Syria Wednesday – in which she called for dialogue with Damascus – was “brave” and “very appreciated” and could bring about “important changes” to America’s foreign policy, including talks with “Middle East resistance groups,” according to members of Palestinian terror organizations whose top leaders live in Syria.
One terror leader, Khaled Al-Batch, a militant and spokesman for Islamic Jihad, expressed hope Pelosi would continue winning elections, explaining the House speaker’s Damascus visit demonstrated she understands the Middle East.
Oh, great. Now one of the leading lights of the Democratic party is being openly praised by terrorists — who are calling for her reelection.
Words fail me. Especially when I realize that there’s a darned good chance that the Democrats — the party of surrender — are quite likely to gain the Presidency and maintain control of both houses of Congress in 2008. We can look forward to much more of this, if that happens.
