Can you explain it to me? Please! *UPDATED*
Ok - I'm seein' that Ms. Pelosi is leading a "congressional delegation" on a tour of the Middle East.
WTF?
Now, I'm thinkin'......Why?
Why do they need to go? What do they hope to achieve? Seriously. What's the purpose of using my, our tax money for these folks to head over there? Is it going to help anything?
No.
And she's going to Syria?!?!?! Syria?!?!?!?
I'm just confused. How can she, as an elected representative, go over there and think it's NOT sending a message. That it's only a "fact finding mission".
I'm going to agree with President Bush on this one. Talk about sending mixed signals!!!
But I guess what I really don't understand is when did our Congress and Senate became the new State Department. I thought they were seperate entities. And according to THIS article they are "seeking a dialogue" with Syria.
A dialogue.
With Syria.
Just think about that for a moment. It actually makes me sick to my stomach.
And before you say it, I am fully aware that other Speakers have led deligations. But, gotta tell you....didn't like it anymore then than I do now. And it's one thing when you are ASKED to go. But this? Yeah, just stirrin' up a hornets' nest.
You watch....this will come back and bite us in the ass. I have no doubt.
**UPDATE: 1:14PM: Dadmanly says it much better than I do over at MilBlogs.

Posted by: Raging Mom at April 4, 2007 06:34 AMIt's the power, she has it, she's going to use it to piss off Republicans and the President.
She's doing it because she knows she can and it will piss off a lot of people.
She's probably giggling over the stories.

If by "dialogue" you mean "air strike", then I'm all for it.
