Team Obama has been in “discreet talks” with Iran and Syria … for months

Posted by: ST on February 2, 2009 at 6:29 pm » 6 Comments

So much for Obama’s “one president at a time” stance! In related news, the HuffPo reports that General Petraeus and Def. Sec. Gates have both been pushing back on Obama’s desire to withdraw all combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months: WASHINGTON, Feb 2 (IPS) – CENTCOM commander Gen. David Petraeus, supported by Defence [...]

 

Republicans take up collection to bring Nancy home

Posted by: ST on April 5, 2007 at 9:10 pm » 1 Comment

I LOL’d at this bit from the Washington Examiner: Republicans on Capitol Hill jokingly took up a collection to bring her home. “I never thought I’d say this, but I really wish Nancy Pelosi was back here in the Capitol,” a top GOP aide said. In related news, the Nutroots are upset over some of [...]

 

Nancy’s “pratfall” in Damascus

Posted by: ST on April 5, 2007 at 9:29 am » 15 Comments

Via that eeevil right wing news outlet, the WaPo: After a meeting with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad in Damascus, Ms. Pelosi announced that she had delivered a message from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that “Israel was ready to engage in peace talks” with Syria. What’s more, she added, Mr. Assad was ready to “resume [...]

 

The Pelosi Syria visit and the three Republicans’ Syria visit: The differences and why they matter (MORE-DID PELOSI DELIVER WRONG MESSAGE FROM ISRAEL TO ASSAD?)

Posted by: ST on April 4, 2007 at 12:30 pm » 2 Comments

As we all know by now, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been cozying up to Syrian President Bashar Assad, and we also know that three House Republicans have visited Syria this week to meet with him, too. Certain folks on the left are screaming ‘hypocrisy’ over the administration’s focus on Pelosi’s trip while not saying [...]

More idiocy on House members visiting and meeting with Assad, this time from our side of the aisle. Captain Ed has the details.

 

Why is Nancy Pelosi going to Syria?

Posted by: ST on March 30, 2007 at 7:03 pm » 25 Comments

Yes, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, she who represents the military-hating, Bush-loathing, cut and run crowd in San Francisco, is going to Syria as part of a “Congressional delegation” – even though the US has broken off ties with high-level contacts in the Syrian government: The visit will make Pelosi the most senior U.S. official ever [...]

 

Senator Carl Levin: Warmonger?

Posted by: ST on February 27, 2007 at 6:08 pm » 3 Comments

Heck, he sure sounds like the left’s version of a warmonger here (emphasis Red State’s): SEN CARL LEVIN (D-MI): “Now, in terms of the weapons coming in from Syria, those weapons that you’ve described as coming in from Syria and perhaps other Sunni neighbors are killing our troops. Do we have a plan to address [...]

 

Kerry volunteers to talk to Iran and Syria

Posted by: ST on December 15, 2006 at 10:59 am » 12 Comments

I guess old habits die hard. Allah’s got the details. Update: On a more serious note, author and historian Arthur Herman has a must-read piece up at Commentary Online which discusses how he believes the US should respond to Iran: But, as I have tried to show, the most immediate menace Iran poses is not [...]

Sounds like the work of Islamofascists – again.

 

Why is former Clinton advisor Sidney Blumenthal revealing sensitive information about US/Israel national security strategies vs. certain Middle Eastern countries?

Posted by: ST on August 4, 2006 at 1:46 pm » 2 Comments

Is he acting in the role of “advisor” to terrorist groups now? No, wait. He’s doing it because he ‘supports the troops’ and the US, no doubt. Way to go, Blumenthal. And thumbs down to you as well, Salon, for publishing it. Then again, Salon has been known to defend terrorists and their supporters before, [...]
