Does Pelosi step over the line or fill a vacuum?

Legislator or Diplomat - Pelosi Steps Over Line
agoravox

Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, has taken her newfound power and misinterpreted it. She recently told the President of the United States to “calm down” and has crossed over into State Department territory.

Ms. Pelosi has gone to Syria to visit puppet, Syrian President Basher Assad, supporter of terror. Assad, like his protege, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, would like to see Israel blown off the face of the earth, and sends terrorists into Iraq to kill U.S. and coalition forces.
The President and State Department had asked Pelosi not to visit Syria but she insists she is using the Iraq Study Group report as her guide, in addition to her power hungry ego, the driving force in her visit.

Pelosi and her Liberal ilk want to undermine the Presidency and bring down the Bush administration at all costs. Pelosi and company has no time for the U.S. troops as they have gone on spring recess without passing a legitimate funding bill.

Pelosi and company has, however, attempted to control the U.S. military, the President, and U.S. commanders in Iraq by setting deadlines to leave Iraq and the fight against al-Qaeda.

Visiting Syria is further evidence that Nancy Pelosi and the Left-Wing Nut House only care about taking over the White House in 2008 and increasing their Congressional power as well. No President, no troops, no military commanders will get in their way.

It’s power first and somewhere down the line America is included in the plan after Syria, Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and al-Qaeda.

Nancy Pelosi tells the President of the United States to "calm down" in front of the media and then proceeds to play diplomat against the wishes of the professionals at the State Department.

Pelosi’s actions are much like a coups d’état and Madame Speaker is running the Junta.

Congressman Tom Lantos, who is a member of the delegation that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leading to Syria, put the mission clearly when he said:

"We have an alternative Democratic foreign policy."
Pelosi and the Democrats, including Republicans like Rep. Hobson of Ohio, who visit Syria, especially against the wishes of the White House, are sending a message to terror groups that there is disunity in the U.S. government and it’s ok to continue your reign of terror and meddling in Iraq.

Nancy Pelosi and the Congressional Democrats are stepping in to carry out their own foreign policy, by their own admission and their own military policy on troop deployment, by their own legislation — all the while denying that they are intruding on the President’s authority.

Instead of speaking to the world with one voice, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats, are speaking alone, separating America into divisions, while taking over government responsibility from diplomats and the State Department.

The Iraq Study Group recommended face-to-face meeting with Iran also, which were recommendations and further meddling with real U.S. foreign policy. Does Ms. Pelosi plan a trip to visit Ahmadinejad in Iran? The only stopping at present is the hostage situation with 15 British military personnel.

Pelosi and the Democrats say they speak for America, or America has spoken in the narrow election victory in 2006. The Liberals are mistaken if they really believe they speak for America while they trample our present foreign policy.

Pelosi and the Democrats are showing the world they have no respect for the authority of the Office of the United States President or the United States Department of State.

Power and self-made authority has blinded Pelosi to matters of importance to America and freedom loving countries worldwide. Pelosi turning her "ego trip" into a diplomatic debacle that may result in extraordinary negative consequences in the war on terror and the lives of our troops on the ground in the Middle East.

Nancy Pelosi’s actions border on "high crimes and misdemeanor’s" and as Speaker of the House, she is now accountable to the American people, including the many who do not support her or her actions.

Legislators should do their jobs and stay out of diplomatic circles. The American public votes the President of the United States into office nationally while Senator’s and Representatives are elected in State elections.

The Speaker of the House and other’s in Congress cannot negotiate on behalf of the United States; the Presidential administration determines American policy. Pelosi has clearly stepped over the line in asserting power she feels as an entitlement of her office. The Speaker couldn’t be more wrong.
