Pelosi and Ellison to visit Syria
Leading a group of lawmakers on a 9 day Mideast tour is Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.The White House criticised the group's planned stop in Syria, a country the US government accuses of sponsoring terrorism.
'That's a really bad idea,' White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.
Also in the group is Keith Ellison, Muslim congressman and Nation of Islam supporter from Minnesotastan.
They plan to visit Syria, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia during the tour, Ellison's office said. Details were being kept secret for security reasons, it said.

Security reasons? Are they afraid that the military defunding they just attempted to impose will make them more vulnerable in the mideast? Seems to be a stand-off between the Dems who loaded an emergency funding bill for the military with pork and an arbitrary deadline for withdrawal, and GWB, who says he will veto it.
So Pelosi and friends decide to face down GWB all the way from Syria, a state sponsor of terrorism? How appropriate. Maybe they would like to volunteer to go to Iran where they would be hailed as western heroes. Maybe even stay for a while, visit and have tea with the British Navy prisoners who are now in Day 8 of the newest Iranian hostage crisis?

TRAITORS ALL OF THEM!
On April 1, Reps. Frank Wolf (R-VA), Joseph R. Pitts (R-PA) and Robert Aderholt (R-AL) traveled to Damascus and met with Assad, two days before Pelosi's scheduled trip.
Yawn.
Next talking point, please...
Wolf, Pitts and Aderholt don't have the title of Speaker of the House nor are they 2nd in line to the Presidency.
I wonder what pork the Speaker had to promise them to accompany her? No matter, they should not have gone to meet with Assad either.
The cowards cut funding for our military, then went on spring break in the mideast.
Only in your world can a bill that more than fully funds the troops be called a cut.
I hardly think following the suggestion of the Iraq Study Group can be called "Spring Break".
You apparatchiki have to come to terms with this: When Bush vetoes the bill, he will be doing it simply because he isn't getting his way...It's already clear that neither you or he give a * about the troops.
Will I have to wait until tomorrow for the next talking point, or do you think you'll be checking back with gop.com before then?
