The Audacity

How dare Nancy Pelosi travel to Syria and try diplomacy, at which the administration has failed and seems to be completely inept. How dare she "embolden our enemies". I'm sick of all the Democrats' emboldening strategies to topple America. According to Bush, "Sending delegations doesn't work. It's simply been counterproductive". So what does work? His current policy, if he even has one, sure as hell does not. We have to be tough on Syria. We have to be firm with any country that backs a terrorist organization like Hezbollah. But where does turning our backs and thumbing our nose get us? It certainly does not stop Syria from supporting the group. If anything it "emboldens our enemies". Where has this administration succeeded diplomatically? I disagree with Pelosi on many things, if not most, but given this administration's growing impotence on the world stage, I have no problem with her seeking a peaceful compromise in the Middle East between Israel and Syria.
