Pelosi weighs in on the British hostage crises

[GeorgiaDawg32]

In a conference call with Syrian President Assad held earlier today, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi promised her full support in trying to end the war of words between Britain and Iran. "We completely support the British troops in this matter, as we support our troops currently on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan. But at the same time, we realize the British are using harsh language that is only serving to inflame Muslim and Persian passions regarding this unfortunate incident of unauthorized tresspassing, and insist the British tone down their rhetoric. It is entirely up to the United Nations to issue words such as "unacceptable", "inexcuseable" and "an intentional violation of international law. National pride has no business in this affair".

Sources close to the conversation say they attempted to include Iranian President Achmadinijad on the call, but his aides said he was busy starting an office pool trying to determine whether the letter coming from the United Nations would be of "concern", "grave concern", "deep concern" or "deplorable". The winner gets a free ride on the inflatable pride of the Iranian Navy, the INS (Iranian Naval Service) Maypop and a "Get Out of Torture Free" card should they ever be critical of the current government..

This is why democrats shouldn't get anywhere near the white house. She is an idiot appeaser of the kind that will get more people killed.

[pissant]

She is beyond pathetic.

[bwteim]

It is difficult to distinguish satire from reality when it comes to Pelosi.

[UKrepublican]

What a disgrace.

Get these comments out there.

How dare she?

Carefully note: NO CONDEMNATION OF THE IRANIAN ACTION.

Democrats are traitors.

Pure and simple.

[Churchillspirit]

National pride has no business in this affair.

You tell 'em Nancy!

If the situation were not so serious that would be funny.

[betsyross1776]

Please Mr. Assad ,m please let them go. Who does this witch think she is. Nancy puts crooks as heads of committee's and now she is over there playing our foreign policy. I picked the wrong day to give up drinking.

[nonliberal]

Horse, rope, Pelosi.

Some assembly required.

[bwteim]

Good April 1 story, BTW.

[ml/nj]

unfortunate incident of unauthorized tresspassing

Did I miss it? Are the Brits now admitting that they were in Iranian waters? Or is Pelosi just assuming that Islamic Swine wouldn't lie?

ML/NJ

[JustaDumbBlonde]

Why is it that every time a Democrat (and a few bad Republicans) utter the words 'we support the troops', it is always following by the word but? Ever notice that?

[Boundless]

Except on April 1st, and in this case, by
noting the lack of a source attribution, or
simply reading paragraph 2.

Scrappleface is funnier, tho.

GeorgiaDawg,

Ya shoulda added a satire warning. The fact that you need one speaks volumes.

[NewCenturions]

"the British are using harsh language"

Oooh! 'Harsh Language'?! How awful!

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I think you over egged the pudding with the second paragraph. I was completely taken in by the first one and would have bitten.

[rightwingextremist1776]

She is just digging the hole deeper for the Dims in 08. This situation stirs the emotions felt by those who lived through the Carter years. We remember and still hold those who trembled in front of the world in contempt. What a POS subhuman.

[craig_eddy]

What a but monkey

[RC2]

It is entirely up to the UN? Does this idiot not believe that the British have the right to speak their mind, protect their own people? This should show us that Pelosi is ready and willing to throw our own country to the will of the UN rather than stand on our own two feet and protect this country.

[wolf24]

"Ya shoulda added a satire warning. The fact that you need one speaks volumes."

This is true and has been for quite some time now. Who needs satire (or farce?) when the things that the Bolsheviks say trumps satire (or farce?).

[Boundless]

> Scrappleface is funnier, tho.

And it turns out they've a "story" on the RN sailors too:

"British Hostages Seek Asylum in Iran"

[bwteim]

"Scrappleface is funnier, tho."

Perhaps - but Dawg's post is catching a few ;)

[Americanexpat]

I don´t blame Nabcy Pelosi, I blame the sorry strpid bastards that voted her into office.

[Eva]

This is unbelievable. Someone needs to put a muzzle on that woman.

[o_zarkman44]

What do we do if we don't use harsh language when rogue nations step over the line Nancy, send them milk and sugar cookies????

Pelousey is a sheer idiot!!!!

[Spok]

"unfortunate incident of unauthorized tresspassing"

The first GPS coordinates Iran gave Britain for the site of the abduction of the 15 sailors and marines was in Iraqi waters. It was later 'corrected' to show the Brits were in Iranian waters. Pelosi will buy into any version that aids her terrorist constituents and pits her against America's allies and interests. Her abandonment of America is now complete and absolutely devoid of any pretext to the contrary.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Good point!!

[o_zarkman44]

Pelousey is an April Fool, a May Fool, a fool for all times. Frankly with her past record, it is hard to distinguish between her reality and a spoof because she is so close to disneyland and hollywood.

[Rokke]

"regarding this unfortunate incident of unauthorized tresspassing"

Please tell me this is an April Fools joke.

[wtc911]

You have exposed the 'I'll believe anything I read on FR' crowd. Proud of yourself?

[bannie]

we realize the British are using harsh language that is only serving to inflame Muslim and Persian passions ... and insist the British tone down their rhetoric. It is entirely up to the United Nations to issue words such as "unacceptable", "inexcuseable" and "an intentional violation of international law. National pride has no business in this affair".

WHAT??????

[repubzilla]

uhh...this is made up folks-I can picture it being true but not this time...

[bwteim]

I did not want to reveal GeorgiaDawg32's April 1 too soon. Of course, anything about Pelosi is like red meat at the kennel. And, the satire unfortunately sometimes does become reality.

Translation:We support Amacrazyraghed!

Pray for W and Our Freedom Troops

[JoeSixPack1]

Wow!! We have our own drive-by FReepers... holy moly..

It's SATIRE PEOPLE!!!! BUY A CLUE!!!!!

[wildcatf4f3]

never thought that I'd say this BUT, i wouldn't mind a military coup about now and internment camps for the Left before they suceed in destroying Western Civilization..

[yoe]

Such arrogance! She speaks as if lecturing a child not Great Briton.

But at the same time, we realize the British are using harsh language that is only serving to inflame Muslim and Persian passions regarding this unfortunate incident of unauthorized tresspassing, and insist the British tone down their rhetoric. It is entirely up to the United Nations to issue words such as "unacceptable", "inexcuseable" and "an intentional violation of international law. National pride has no business in this affair".

The United Nations? Ms. Pelosi, you are below the salt when it comes to Great Briton; they have guts and you are gutless except for your over-blown self esteem.....quit looking in the mirror as this is not just about you or your appeasement of terrorism.

[genghis]

My mother taught me it is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are a moron than open it and eliminate all doubt.
That pig obviously hasn't learned that lesson.
Shame on her mother.

[bvw]

It's not satire. Too close to the truth.

[o_zarkman44]

I saw it but bubbly Nancy could fit easily as an enemy enabler, so I made comment followed by another that relates to an endless fool living close to disneyland and hollywood.

[Pox]

Seems like quite a few Freepers don't remember what day of the year this is!

[JoeSixPack1]

Can we go with parody? :-)

[yoe]

Okay I bit! But I stand by my post anyway.

[Pistolshot]

Pelosi makes the French look manly.

[bvw]

Theater of the Absurd Present Times, maybe.

[aclusux.com]

And Rosie O'Donnell, a lesbian, carries the torch for Radical Islam! She embraces a theology that suppresses women and would stone her for her life style! However, they get the benefit of the doubt.

[JoeSixPack1]

Good Morning April 1st. :-)

[stevem]

Every time a prominent Democrat opens her mouth, she accomplishes zip but to foster global warming. Are there no Democrats still alive that are also adults?

[highlander_UW]

I didn't realize Congress was part of the State Department.

By attempting to run US foreign policy this idiot is massively overstepping the authority of her office...is there impeachment for Congress?
