Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

Will Pelosi’s next big adventure be … to Iran?
Apparently she thinks she and her ‘delegation’ did such a great job on their recent trip to the Middle East that she’s not ruling out the possibility of visiting Iran:
(04-10) 18:42 PDT — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Tom Lantos, D-San Mateo, just back from a trip to Syria that sparked sharp criticism from Republicans and the Bush administration, suggested Tuesday that they may be interested in taking another diplomatic trip – to open a dialogue with Iran.
The Democratic speaker from San Francisco and Lantos, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, were asked at a press conference in San Francisco Tuesday whether on the heels of their recent trip to the Middle East they would be interested in extending their diplomacy in the troubled region with a visit to Iran.
“Speaking just for myself, I would be ready to get on a plane tomorrow morning, because however objectionable, unfair and inaccurate many of (Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s) statements are, it is important that we have a dialogue with him,” Lantos said. “Speaking for myself, I’m ready to go — and knowing the speaker, I think that she might be.”
Pelosi did not dispute that statement, and noted that Lantos — a Hungarian-born survivor of the Holocaust — brought “great experience, knowledge and judgment” to the recent bipartisan congressional delegation trip to Israel, the Palestinian territories, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia in addition to Syria.
“I find the president of Iran’s remarks to be so repulsive that they are outside the circle of civilized human behavior,” Pelosi said, referring to Ahmadinejad’s past comments that Israel should be wiped off the face of the map and his questioning of the existence of the Holocaust.
“But a person of Mr. Lantos’ stature and personal experience is saying that — even as a Holocaust survivor and even recognizing the outrageous statements of the president of Iran — it’s important to have dialogue. I think that speaks volumes.”
[...]
“There was, of course, a shadow over all of it, Iran: Iran’s support of terrorist groups is something that must be stopped,” she said. “Iran’s quest for a nuclear weapon is something that must not happen and we must stop them with the strongest of diplomatic measures.”
Yes, and I’m sure a little fireside chat with Ahmeanie and the mullahs will do just that, Ms. Speaker. 
Update: Ouch.

With the holocaust-deniers and hostage-takers in Teheran, it’s important to have a dialogue.
But with (cue ominous scary background music) Fox News, never!!!!
Tells you all you need to know about today’s Democrat party, doesn’t it?
This quote from Lantos really should be read as: “Speaking for myself, I think we should continue to undermine the foreign policy of this country, and coddle dictators, until we are forced to go to war with them. Then we can undermine the war, like we did in Vietnam, Gulf War I and Gulf War II. At least way we can feel as if we have some relavance. Well at least to our howlin’ at the moon crazed Dem voter.”. – Lorica
Thanks for the link, Sistah!
It’s just a sneak peek at what our foreign policy would be like if, God forbid, a democrat takes the White House.
But are we really surprised by Pelosi’s actions? It’s just another in a continuing chain of snuggling up to dictators and terrorists.

Who are the Muslim Brotherhood? Here’s a brief background on them:

Priceless.
Richardson meets privately with North Korean officials
Ah yes. We will show countries like Iran and N. Korean the price of supporting terrorism that kills Americans and our allies. We will…..negotiate with them. That will show them!!
God help us all.
GWR said it all, they will deal with some of the worst scum on the planet, but they won’t go on Fox News. Absolutely unbelievable. Cowardice at the highest level.
Is she does then she will again hand a propaganda victory to Iran.
First the Brits being captured and paraded around Iranian TV for propaganda purposes.
And if Pelosi goes there, she will be a willing partner in their propaganda.
At least the Brits were captured – what will be Pelosi’s excuse?
Iran makes propaganda out of the Brits, and now they have a seconds chance to make propaganda out of an America.
Is the Democrats (Pelosi) hatred of the administration so palable that they are willing to cooperate with the enemy, since I am very sure Pelosi’s pics will be used for propaganda purposes.
