Washington -- Reckless is the best way to describe Nancy Pelosi's latest in-your-face attempt at upstaging George W. Bush foreign policy. Assad is viewing her trip as a green light to take over Lebanon the way Saddam viewed Glapsie's lack of interference as a green light to invade Kuwait. Will she take the blame if Lebanon falls to Assad and his cabal of murderers and thugs? Probably not. But the American people and the Lebanese must hold her feet to the fire.
Nancy Pelosi is on a power trip. Those who have worked closely with her in Congress speak of a driven, almost maniacal, woman capable of going the distance on issues most Democrats feel are too risqué not only for their Party but also for the American people to accept. Her take-no-prisoners attitude has earned her the coveted Speaker of the House nomination but many believe that her lack of experience will bring about her downfall.
Her first faux-pas was to go against the tide in Congress by nominating Congressman John Murtha, who came with some baggage, for the powerful Majority Leader in the new Congress when most Democrats wanted to see Steny Hoyer become the Majority Leader. The backlash was quick and it resulted in her backing down before the majority of Democrats.
Today Pelosi is making the second biggest mistake by delivering Lebanon on a silver platter to Assad. The President of the United States is surrounded with thousands of people in the US Government who work diligently to set the parameters of the foreign policy of this country armed with knowledge that a Speaker of the House is not equipped either to have or to analyze properly. People in the National Security Council, the US State Department, and many in the intelligence community.
Pelosi is setting the foreign policy of the US surrounded by 3 people and a total inexperience in that field.
We know that the US Congress watches over the executive powers of the Office of the President but who will hold Pelosi accountable when the US discovers that it may lose Lebanon again because of Pelosi's trip of appeasement?

Does a Democrat ever take blame?
It's not hers to offer.
Does a Democrat ever take blame?
Being a democrat means you only ask forgiveness for things YOU didn’t do, like slavery, etc
Only if it's in their favor.
Be sure to take those ruby slippers off her first, or Hillary will get them.
Hay Yeh!! Jaz, thanks for doing all these important Threads.Stay were you are it’s 92 degrees in Phoenix!!!!...
If it’s in their favor (and it rarely is), they take the credit.
Hey, Gitmo! I’m ready for some 92 degree days up here, warm is good. :-)
Didn’t mean to rub it in but I did!!!!... I even had to take off my T-shirt!!!...
No, she will blame it on Thompson : )
Lebanon is now over 50% Muslim. It's future is not hard to figure out. - tom
Trick question, right? Everything bad is Bush's fault, everything good is the result of Pelosi's efforts.
Got it?
Is it Bush’s fault Yet???...
Since she's acting on her own and not in any Constitutional capacity, she won't be let off the hook ~
She reminds me so much of Cloris Leachman’s grotesque-looking dominatrix character in the movie “High Anxiety”...
