hehehehehehe... thats funny.

Ya know, sampling another culture is unprecedented in foreign policy - What is she thinking????

Oh that's right, she's not being an arse while a guest in a foreign country! Silly her. - DYNAMITE

Should read: Ya know, prancing around acting like a tourist while getting face time for political reasons and legitimizing a for-real state sponser of terrorism is unprecedented in foreign policy - What is she thinking????

Oh that's right, she's not only being an arse while a guest in a foreign country, she's wasting tons of our money doing it! Shame on her.

Congressional "fact finding" visits are a drop in the ocean of wasted taxpayer money. Actually, having some people who have been somewhere and met someone outside of the beltway is a good thing. I prefer it to clueless shut-ins who have never seen anything outside the border.

Actually... i think Rolex has it right...

But I guess only Nixon can go to China and only Pubs can go to Syria...

Lets just agree to disagree.

my opinion is that her rank is too high, she is too close to the Presidency. my reasons are above. if you think about it, I think you will agree.

i actually don't think any of these ego freak politicians should be going to visit state sponsers of terrorism, Repubs included, but its particularly wrong in my opinion for someone like the House Speaker, who was asked by the Whitehouse not to go, for very good reasons.

Wait a minute, Congress DOES have some business in foreign policy after all - isn't it their responsibility to ratify treaties?

Does seem like a tempest in a teacup to me, esp. given the Republican delegation already having visited. It just doesn't seem possible to set the bar too low, where partisan bickering is concerned.

I'm thinking a "Pelosi/Fonda 2008" ticket is in the making....

Now if someone were smart they would let her itinerary become common knowledge among certain terrorist organizations.

If we cant weed em out. Might as well manipulate them into working for us

Pelosi could institute "Free P*ssy, Beer, and BBQ Day" and the Fox News victims would still find something to complain about.

namvet, I ~~you for your service in Vietnam. You have my respect for that. If I may, could I draw you out a bit more on your politics and how your view evolved?~~

Ok. Still, if you care to, I'd like to hear how your political views came to be what they are today. I don't really care to debate anything, I'm just curious.

I agree though - I don't think any President would appreciate Congress interfering with their foreign policy. And its not really their job or responsibility.

Oboe,
I am 100% against any congresspeople going if they are not asked to go by the administration or by congress. Congress has a job. Create laws and govern here, not political grandstanding in other countries.
