Did Pelosi Committ a felony?

[typomaniac]

Your compairing apples and oranges. Going on vacation and visiting heads of state are completely different.

Depends on whether the heads of state offer you beer and take you golfing with them.

But they do get from point A to point B on our dimes, which is what I meant. I apologize for the clumsy wording.

She either went on 'official Congressional business' or she paid for it. Which do you think? If we paid for it, she's not speaking as an 'average American.'

Didn't you mean misleading wording?

Not at all: as far as the choice of words in that post, the only thing I'll say about it is that "mistakes were made."

[Gaffer]

The libs can defend her all they want, but she still screwed the pooch in the long run. And I'm sure Bush will remind her of the posibility of charges every time she tries to do something stupid again.

He really has something to step on her with now.

[Abbey Marie]

She claimed to have been attempting to undermine foreign policy? Where?

Yes, by admitting to trying to broker a peace agreement betwen two countries/states. But that has already been stated in this thread and in the news. Tell us why do you still refuse to admit it?

[CockySOB]

Misspelling? I think real 'English' sticks in your craw, use the bastardised version if you must, and you must, I make exceptions for you.

My apologies. I've got an automatic spell checker in my browser and it flagged the word as misspelled. Please, carry on!

All I've seen so far are empty assertions. No credible news site has accused the speaker of trying to negotiate any kind of treaty.

Prove me wrong with a real news source, if you can, or don't expect me to "admit" to anything.

You seriously want to assert that she didn't do that? It's all over the news.

Here's just two:

JERUSALEM - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record) will tell Syrian leaders when she visits Damascus this week on a trip criticized by the Bush administration that Israel will only engage in peace talks if Syria stops supporting Palestinian militants, Israel said Sunday.

The message came during Pelosi's meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert during the Israel part of her Mideast tour.

"Pelosi is conveying that Israel is willing to talk if they (Syria) would openly take steps to stop supporting terrorism," Olmert's spokeswoman Miri Eisin said. "But at this point the Syrian government, by openly backing terror all around the Middle East, is not a partner for negotiations."

Pelosi: Israel and Syria want talks

The White House condemned the meeting
between Pelosi and the Syrian president [AFP]

The speaker of the US House of Representatives has said that Israel and Syria want peace talks.
Nancy Pelosi met Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president on Wednesday and conveyed a message from Ehud Olmert, the Israeli premier, that Israel was ready for peace talks.

She said al-Assad responded that he was ready to restart peace talks too.

"[Our] meeting with the president enabled us to communicate a message from Prime Minister Olmert that Israel was ready to engage in peace talks," Pelosi said.

She added that al-Assad "was ready to engage in negotiations [for] peace with Israel".

typo, you got owned, now take a deep breath and admit what she did was wrong.

On Monday, Pelosi shrugged off White House criticism of her coming trip to Damascus, saying she had great hope for reviving relations with Syria and changing its behavior.

I'll deal with those articles in due course.

Until you explain why you accused me - out of the blue - of religious bigotry, I have absolutely nothing more to say to you.

And here's a source I added because I'll bet you libs think it is more credible than Fox:

I'll give you points for trying, but neither article proves that the speaker was trying to negotiate a treaty.

Both of them quote Israeli sources, who I guarantee were not present at the meetings between the speaker and President Assad. So at most they're reports based on hearsay - not to mention with the Israeli government's own spin included.

And I'll give you points for trying. I on the other hand, succeeded. The second article is from al-jazeera, not exactly an Israeli bastion, and it quotes Pelosi directly.

But you know what, like just about every lib I've ever met, on a MB or off, you have just continued to deny the truth even when it is crystal clear, and buttressed by multiple sources. I guess we will await your next attempt to deny the obvious here.

To recap, and as seen from the accounts of multiple news sources, Granny P is trying to effect foreign policy, in an attempt to undermine GWB and the Republican party, and thinks it will help her party win in 2008. She has gone way over the line for political gain, and she is despicable for doing so.
Someone should start an Internet petition for her removal from Congress.
