Pelosi Going to Syria Despite Objections

Nancy Pelosi is dangerous, a vain egotist and too arrogant to subrogate to the traditional Executive Branch-Legistative Branch relationship, where the Executive Branch is in charge of foreign policy, and the Legislative Branch is not supposed to take clearly diplomatic actions like this one which could undermine efforts. (Pelosi Going to Syria Despite Objections). It is one thing to vote against funding for a war, it is another to engage in foreign policy trips to enemy nations against the administration's wishes. Anyone who would argue that this is merely a "fact-finding trip" is delusional -- look at this trip through the eyes of the Syrians, and you see an effort to undermine Western and "moderate" Arab efforts to isolate Syria.

In addition, this action should be taken as yet more evidence that, other than Hillary Clinton (whom I do not support for other reasons), the Democratic leadership, permeated by Leftist ideologues, is NOT a committed friend of Israel or its long term survivability.
