Cheney and Rush hit Pelosi on Syria

Wow, that didn't take long. That "incorrect message" which was later proven was actually false, is something these two liars are attempting to run with.

Next-up, FOX News.

Beware. These liars think Americans don't know any better.

Republicans, you have only yourself to blame for your own demise.

Darth Cheney and Rush Limpbag?

Wow,these two germs wouldn't know credibility if it smacked them right in Dick Cheney's gay daughters face.

More tall tales from the darkside of the moon that Vice-Dictator Cheney lives on.

I hope Speaker Nancy stays away from Syria.
Let the Republicans foolish Iraq fiasco fail on it's own.

I misread the headline as "Cheney and Rush hit on Pelosi" at first and nearly threw up a little bit in my mouth.

I reject John Es remark. No reasonable person is hoping or wishing for failure in Iraq. He is alone.

Darth Cheney DOES know that Darryl Issa is there right now? Doesn't he?

But, I forgot. HE's a Republican, so it's cool.

Pelosi really made an international fool of herself.Telling Assad that Isreal is ready to engage in peace talks and then Olmert denies he ever said that.
She's following in the same disasterous foot steps as Carter and Clinton.I think she thinks she's The President...what an ego!
Paulo

Who cares what Darth has to say about anything.

Even the ultra-right, mormon owned university doesn't want to hear from him:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,264281,00.html

Fox News no less. Must be the full moon.

"Beware. These liars think Americans don't know any better."

Sadly, they're about right. Most Americans would rather argue about gay marriage and flag burning while watching WWE.

As Rush predicted after the interview, the drive-by media would try and twist something sinister into this interview and the loony Left will be onb full display. You weirdos are so predictable!

Two vile and foul smelling cowards with zero credibility.
Maybe they should also discuss Iraq or Cheney's drunk driving convictions or Limbaugh drug and marriage problems or the Republicans who also went to Syria.

IF you read the above transcript, Limbaugh did not "hit" Pelosi, as the headline claims. He asked questions of Cheney, same as any "Swamp" columnist would.

He did ask Cheney leading questions--just as his Tribune "Swamp" counterparts would do. Guess the technique is a "hit" when Limbaugh does it, but merely "journalism" when Frank James does it.

And isn't it amazing that Frank James can read Limbaugh's mind and boldly proclaim what Limbaugh "sought" by his questions? Frank, when did you go into mind-reading?

As to the substance of Cheney's comments, he was absolutely correct in pointing out that aspiring diplomat Pelosi misrepresented the Israeli offer to Syria. These head-in-the-sand Dhimmi Democrats create fiascos wherever they go.

Por que no acometio a drogadicto hace a Sr. Darth las mismas preguntas acerca de los senadores republicanos que hicieron la misma cosa?

Los media in los Estados Unidos son llenos de mentirosos predispuestos ala derecha.

Acusacion ahora!

Oh boy real news from the Rush Network!!!! Yes I agree John E can't wait to hear what Fox News has to offer in the way of Fair and Balanced. Oh, has any of the Republican wingnuts commented on the Republics that visited Syria?
Wow, I have never seen a president become such a lame duck so soon!

Jethro, I don't want Iraq to fail,I'm just frustrated that the rightwing watercarriers think it's ok for them to smear Speaker Pelosi for doing something that the W. administration refuses to do....seek peace and understanding with our "enemies".

April 5, 2007

8 US troops have already been killed in Iraq this month.

Jethro, it may be true that no "reasonable person" wishes for failure in Iraq, but no Reasonable Person could deny that BushCheneyRumsfeld already failed, and its time to stop the killing of and by our abused military.

Let the Republicans foolish Iraq fiasco fail on it's own.

DUHHH...

Sunny,

Yes, we have to get out of there ASAP.

Yes The NeoCon dream has been a fiasco.

But the point is that we have to at least try to assure that there is SOME semblance of stability and order. We have to try to minimize the damage before we leave.

And even if you don't buy that, at the very least you must admit that it is disgusting and depraved (in an oddly childish way) to gloat about the failure.

The VP talks about the Speaker rewarding Syria by talking to them. What part of that makes sense? For something like 40 years we were locked in a life & death struggle with the 'Evil Empire' yet we always managed to talk to them. When they gave support & weapons to the VC we still talked with them. When we gave support & weapons to the Afgans they still talked to us. Your either with us or against us may make a good sound bite but the reality is the actual world isn't this black & white & using sound bites as the basis of foreign policy is a very bad idea.

Geeeeez! Pelosi is taking a beating in the press,even the liberal press is slamming her and when they do it....Look Out!
She tried to negotiate a peace deal with one of America's enemies without consent from the President? All she ended up doing was giving aid and comfort to the enemy,during WW2 she would have been tried for treason.
She should stay in San Francisco with her alternative life-style minions and leave world affairs to people that know what they're doing.
Of course Jimmy Carter approved of her trip.
Paulo

Nothing like coming out and saying what you mean, eh John E? Great job, Jethro.

Actually, Pelosi IS getting some favorable reviews for here trip to Syria:

"The Speaker of the House is getting rave reviews for her appearances in the Middle East—-from Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Syria Wednesday – in which she called for dialogue with Damascus – was “brave” and “very appreciated” and could bring about “important changes” to America’s foreign policy, including talks with “Middle East resistance groups,” according to members of Palestinian terror organizations whose top leaders live in Syria.

One terror leader, Khaled Al-Batch, a militant and spokesman for Islamic Jihad, expressed hope Pelosi would continue winning elections, explaining the House speaker’s Damascus visit demonstrated she understands the Middle East.

“Nancy Pelosi understands the area (Middle East) well, more than Bush and Dr. (Condoleezza) Rice,” said Al-Batch, speaking to WND from Gaza. “If the Democrats want to make negotiations with Syria, Hamas, and Hizbullah, this means the Democratic Party understands well what happens in this area and I think Pelosi will succeed. ... I hope she wins the next elections.” ...

Ramadan Shallah, overall chief of Islamic Jihad, lives in Syria, as does Hamas chieftain Khaled Mashaal. Israel has accused the Syrian-based Hamas and Islamic Jihad leadership of ordering militants in the West Bank and Gaza Strip to carry out terror attacks.

Al-Batch expressed hope Pelosi and the Democratic Party will pressure Bush to create dialogue with Syria and Middle East “resistance movements” and prompt an American withdrawal from Iraq.

“Bush and Dr. Rice made so many mistakes in the Middle East. Just look at Palestinian clashes and Iraq. But I think some changes are happening for the Bush administration’s foreign policy because of the hand of Nancy Pelosi. I think the Democratic Party can do things the best. ... Pelosi is going down a good road by this policy of dialogue,” he said.

Abu Abdullah, a leader of Hamas’ military wing in the Gaza Strip, said the willingness by some lawmakers to talk with Syria “is proof of the importance of the resistance against the US. ”The Americans know and understand they are losing in Iraq and the Middle East and that their only chance to survive is to reduce hostilities with Arab countries and with Islam. Islam is the new giant of the world,“ he said.

”Pelosi’s visit to Syria was very brave. She is a brave woman,“ Jihad Jaara, a senior member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group and the infamous leader of the 2002 siege of Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity, told WND.

”I think it’s very nice and I think it’s much better when you sit face to face and talk to (Syrian President Bashar) Assad. It’s a very good idea. I think she is brave and hope all the people will support her. All the American people must make peace with Syria and Iran and with Hamas. Why not?" Jaara said." (from freerepublic.com)

Pelosi and the Democrats attract the wrong kind of supporters....

A breakthrough: Jethro says no reasonable person wants us to lose in Iraq! Still not sure that Jethro is reasonable, but at last he has shown some!!

John E? Still a quacky Loon!

Doug R., please tell us more about Cheney's drunk driving convictions?!?! Or is that just more left wing blog crap lies?

"I reject John Es remark. No reasonable person is hoping or wishing for failure in Iraq. He is alone."

Jethro , I commend you for doing so. Maybe you're not so bad after all.

I think John E. is alone quite a bit.

Anyway, Bruce...what do you expect from Frank James after his false headline about Newt/Spanish Ghetto. That's close to the final straw for me.

Frank is going towards the "pay no mind" list. He and John E. can have fun together.

I hope Mark Silva can keep what integrity is left of the Swamp.

theyareright -

What argument? Flag-burning is protected under freedom of speech, just like lies FoxRush say everyday & what do I care about what homosexuals do amongst themselves? I've never known a homosexual that threatened the sanctity of my marriage or family.

You right wingers, you make things too easy.

Winning arguments agianst you is so simple, it can be done while watching WWE.

LIMBAUGH: Well, how much damage has she done by conveying to Assad that Israel is ready for peace talks when Israel is not ready for peace talks, as Syria is currently constituted?

What's up with all the caveats? I thought this administration was going to usher in a new era of "Texas straight talk." No more nuance and "is, what is 'is'?"

Yeah, I know Rush isn't actually IN the administration. He's only a non-secular preacher that uses his pulpit to spread the gospel of the GOP.

The reality, as Bush is slowly learning, is that the world is complex. And, thus, a simple visit by the Speaker to Syria isn't what Rush and Cheney would have us believe: treason - the word Cheney wanted to avoid so as not to appear "impolite" or "legalistic."

Well, the Speaker's trip isn't treason, and this administration and it's own Speaker, Rush, know it.

The Speaker even said that she was telling Syria that her position and the president's were not any different when it came to Syria's supporting terrorists. And the Speaker was relating what Israel was telling her. If Israel was so angry with the Speaker, it would have ignored her and never have said anything to her.

So there you have it. More double-speak and misrepresentations by the Bushies and their surrogates.

Speaker Pelosi has to much class to worry about what a sociopath and drug addict may have to say.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may well have committed a felony in traveling to Damascus this week, against the wishes of the president, to communicate on foreign-policy issues with Syrian President Bashar Assad. The administration isn't going to want to touch this political hot potato, nor should it become a partisan issue. Maybe special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, whose aggressive prosecution of Lewis Libby establishes his independence from White House influence, should be called back.

The "Logan Act" makes it a felony and provides for a prison sentence of up to three years for any American, "without authority of the United States," ...WSJ 4/6/07

Wow how about this, another Dem. breaking the law. I fully expect Henry Waxman to act on this felonious conduct immediately. I hope they don't " frog walk " her out of the house though, it would be sooooo difficult with her fancy " Armani Pants Suits'. Perhaps they can try her and Harry Reid at the same time and save the people a little money.

So, what about the three Republicans that went over? Oh, I see, only Republicans are allowed to have a dialogue with Syria. We see the results of Republican 'dialogue'. Playing with all their military toys in the sand. Death and destruction -- yee haw! We're the tough kids on the block! No tea parties or May pool dances for us! We kick butt!

The Washington Post, The New York Sun, USA Today have made it clear Pelosi is not Secretary of State she is Madame Speaker. The Wall Street Journal speculates that it could be a felony to carry on a foreign policy different from the State Department. It is sort of a shadow government this narcissist has embraced. No Harry Waxman won't criticize a Democrat he carrys on investigations of President Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and Texas. He reminds me from his appearance of Jack Kevorkian old Dr. Death. Nancy Pelosi and the Dems have screwed up! How does it feel Dick Durbin, Chuckie Schumer, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Pat Leahy, Teddy Kennedy after all you guys are perfect--just keep up the dog and pony shows and you Jackasses will be gone in 08. Jerry White, Springfield,IL

Ahhhh, there's my idiot.

Would this be similar to Denny Hasterts visit to Columbia during the Clinton administration?

Opening up dialoge with Syria was one of the major points of the Iraq Commission recommendations. YOu know, the one that was written by a bunch of George H. W. Bush's friends.

That was before the U.N. decided to investigate him for conspiracy
in the murder of Mr. Harriri. Yeh terrific idea Brian. Now let's start getting about the business of investigating the Queen Bee. If they send her to Federal prison she can still get her hair done. Maybe when John E. gets back from Iraq he could try and smuggle in a hack saw in a pie.

Here's a link to the Wall St. Journal piece about Pelosi possibly committing a felony. Take some time to broaden your horizons a little and read the article. It's an interesting perspective. I'm making no judgement on this one, just tyring to give everyone both sides of the story.

http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110009908

RomanB,

I'm not sure what the confusion is here. I'm hardly a right-winger and I wasn't exactly arguing with you. You asserted that the right-wingers think Americans don't know what's going on. I'm simply saying that a lot of Americans don't, in fact, know what's going on because they're too concerned with "issues" like gay marriage and flag burning while watching WWE (trying to highlight the irony of flaunting "moral" values while supporting something as barbaric as WWE) to pay attention to what the right-wing media spin is doing to this country. That's why the right-wingers have been so successful. Fortunately, larger and larger segments of the population have been slowly waking up, but there's still plenty of zombies that haven't a clue what this administration has done to this country.

A convicted, lying drug offender and a lying, officious offender without moral convictions. Who cares what Rush or Dick have to say anymore? Bush is now a lame duck and his idiot VP wouldn't recognize a duck if he shot it in the face.

Impeach the lame duck and the idiot duck hunter.

Once Again DD makes a fool of herself.
The Republicans that went over there didn't try to undermine U.S. foreign policy,like Pelosi did.
Pelosi has very little knowledge of world affairs and she should just stay in San Francisco and attend gay rights parades or write op-eds on the dangers of too many face lifts. (blink-blink)

Paulo

Rick, exactly what was Limbaugh convicted of? And Cheney has no moral convictions? Sorry, but the reality is no one was convicted of anything and when it comes to morals, the Left has those the same as pigs give birth to horses.

John D.,
Rush was arraigned, booked and entered a plea. He was required to pay $30K in court costs, and pay for his 2.5 yrs supervision. And, yes, there are those on the Left who, similar to Cheney, have no morals. You seem to think only the Left finds fault with Cheney and his surrogate Bush. Many Republicans and moderate-conservative Democrats would favor impeachment at this point. If only those who recognize the dishonest arrogance of this administration are Leftists, then the majority of our country would fall within this broad brush-stroke of yours.

The Republicans that went over there didn't try to undermine U.S. foreign policy,like Pelosi did.
Posted by: Paulo | Apr 6, 2007 3:15:37 PM

"US foreign policy'?????? HA HA HA HA! You're really going for the big laughs today, Paulo.

And I think I described Republican foreign policy aptly in my previous post (here's lookin' down your rifle barrel). What makes your Republicans so much more qualified than Pelosi on foreign matters?

Pelosi talks about peace and dialogue and the Righties get worried their defense industry stocks are going to plummet.

What a dream team - a drug addict and a paranoid. (You pick which is which).

Perhaps a balloon of Cheney could be in the next Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade - he's self-inflating.

Look at the headlined stories today on Cheney's fraudulent claims, which even Bush disclaimed years ago.

Congress should order Cheney to repeat them in Congress under oath, and if he does, call for a Special Prosecutor and impeachment. If he claims executive privilege over public statements, move it to the Supreme Court.

Anyone else recall "The Guns of Navarone", when they rolled out the big gun to take shots, and then slid it back into its cave?

Paolo, I hope you're getting paid good money to post your crap. No one with a brain would do it for free.

No one with a brain reading it would believe it, either.

Hell, Pelosi isn't the first Speaker to go abroad against the Prez' wishes; Newt Gingrich not only visited the Middle East, he even pronounced Jerusalem as "Israel's unified and eternal capital," which is in direct conforntation with every President's foreign policy dating back to 1967.

Now that Newtie's running for President -- oops, creating a "national movement" -- anyone want to ask him why it's OK for him to do that and Pelosi to do far, far less? Paulo? bruce? John D?

This is another editorial from the English language Arab News in Saudi Arabia. This is what many Arabs think will happen if nancy Pelocy and the Dems take control in 2008.

Posted by: BaltimoreTom | Apr 6, 2007 9:14:28 PM

Yes I would love to Baltimore Tom,, Mr. Gingrich was invited by the Israeli parliament to give a speech. He later regretted his gaffe on Jerusalem, and apologized. Was she invited, ? Or did she invite herself ?

Tom on a different vain, do the D'Allesandros" in Baltimore still have mob ties in Baltimore ?

She was invited, as were the Republicans with her, and the Republican delegation that was there before her. Your point?

Nice try at smearing a dead guy, by the way, Paulo. If you care to repeat that within earshot of Pelosi, let's see how fast the libel suit maskes your head spin.

Bruce and Paulo:

Since you two are so inflamed about a congressperson (Pelosi) visiting the head of Syria, even though she's not the Secretary of State, where are your cries against those three REPUBLICAN congressmen who went over just a few days before she did? Or what about California Republican Congressman Darrell Issa, who visited with Assad many times in the past few years, the last one just the DAY AFTER Pelosi met him.

If she can't "do foreign policy", by what right do those FOUR REPUBLICAN congressmen have to do so?

Sorry about ascribing Paulo with the ability to respond Don B, but feel free to make your question to Pelosi if you wish.

You might remember to get the name right though -- it's D'Alessandro. And if that's mobbed up by your standards, then Giuliani's best frined Bernie Kerik must make you drool over the possibilities of a RICO trial fior Rudy.

Speaker Pelosi walked into a no-win situation, and should have handled it better. She sounded optimistic, with a basis for doing so. She should have immediately publicly pressed the fact that her visit was NOT signaling a change in policy, and all would have been well.

She tried to give an optimistic impression, but none was called for based on events. Even Clinton could not get Syria to budge. Good intentions, and bad policy choices.

You cannot give this Administration ammunition - all of their policies have been failures, and they'll take any opportunity to attack, for the sake of distraction. Sen. Reid has the same problem with funding.

Give Bush the funding, WITH the proviso that Congress will meet after Labor Day, and they expect to hear from Bush in joint session, to detail progress made by the Iraqi government. That requires agreeing on quantitative measurables by end of August. If Bush can't agree that 5 more months will allow the Iraqi government to move forward, ASK BUSH WHY WE'RE THERE. Make Bush explain why his policy has failed.
