The Washington Post must be commended for this piece. It is EXACTLY right in all instances.

I find myself JUST as shocked that they published it.

But a bravo goes their way in this instance.

I'm stunned!

Did the President authorize Pelosi to deliver any message to Assad even from Israel? Isn't that conducting foreign affairs for the U.S.? If so, did Pelosi usurp the Constitutional powers granted only to the President?

Yeah, great WaPo, but for every one of these there are thousands of inane, stupid, partisan attacks of this president and his administration. 

Meanwhile, you have to wonder what they are not reporting if they reckon that the trip was so ill advised.  Also, where were they when grandma Pelosi was about to launch on this ill fated adventure?

This article aside, I just have to comment on the scarf get up that grandma Pelosi is wearing.  She looks like the evil witch from Hansel and Gretel as seen here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hansel_and_Gretel. lol

So the WaPo gets it. Foolish is a mild term to use tho. Treasonist is a little more relative. To try to undermine the sitting administration and foment policy in foreign lands opposing the sitting president is treason. Least, in my book it is.

Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

The grandmother advocate of all women's rights looks like need to be rescued from this picture of being a slave to backward islamo-fasict government, who don't respect women's rights at all. Heck, she won't probably wear a headcover when she goes to her church, even if it is required, but humbly bowed to islam. She looked awful. Her mind got corrupted to the "power" she gain as "amisspeaker" of the house.

Can she be removed from her post. She can't be impeached, so removal by her fellow congressfolks would be the correct route. I'm dreaming right? Right...   

Some are saying she had had in release of British prisoners.  What fluff!  Anyone think it may have been because someone in the news said the US was going to attack Iran on Good Friday? 

The Washington Post is exactly right. We slam them when they get it wrong. We should commend them when they get it right. Nancy Pelosi's little trip is dangerous in its naivete.

Nancy Pelosi argues that we have to talk with people we don’t like, as if we were in a schoolyard. The purpose of diplomacy is not to get these people to like us, and then do us favors. It has nothing to do with feelings or high school style relationships. When a politician argues that we have to talk with people we don’t like, they’re betraying their own ignorance. Diplomacy isn’t "social skill" with other countries. Diplomacy is all about self-interest. We cooperate with countries when it serves both of our interests.

The argument against talking with Syria is that they have nothing we want. Instead, they work against us; funding terrorist groups and so on. They’re willing to talk because they want to trade their hostility for something from us. In fact, they create hostility as a bargaining chip to play. We would have to give them something of value in return for their promise to stop hurting us. Normally, we call that “extortion.” That’s why we don’t want to talk with them. It encourages extortion. It isn’t because they’re bad people and we’re too arrogant to get involved with them, as Nancy Pelosi is trying to argue. This isn’t a schoolyard. We don’t talk with them because we don’t want to reward their attempts at extortion. The Washington Post said it well.

Following in the footsteps of John F'n Kerry, in violation of the Logan Act.

Wonder if Congress has time to hold hearings in this regard. Sounds like a much more serious issue than the legal and Constitutional firing of 8 federal prosecutors.

Here is another article in the JP....http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1173879247562&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

If this was the other way around the media, along with the opposite party would be screaming at the top of their lungs demanding answers for the Speaker of the House.

Democrats/leftists lie...that is all there is to it...they cannot help themselves...then they try to squirm and spin their way out of it when they get caught...

This whole pathetic ordeal with this empty-headed Queen Bee is despicable.

Talk about hypocrisy!

Nancy Pelosi and the message that wasn’t. How typical it is of a Democrat to proclaim something that never happened. Unfortunately, we see it done daily in Congress and in the MSM.

Pelosi is on a one-woman appeasement crusade, traveling throughout the Middle East, scarf-on-head, using her feminine wiles to turn thugs and murders into compliant pussy cats. I bet if you open the dictionary to the word ‘naiveté’, you’ll find her picture there.

With her fellow stooges, she has set up a shadow U.S. government with the sole purpose of undermining it during war time. I wonder whose picture you’ll find in the dictionary next to the word ‘traitor’ ?

The Pelosi Palooza Grandma Potentate Traveling Circus rolls on and the world is now a gawk as this new American fool attempts to take the stage.  Not to worry the patriots at the Peoples Progressive Politburo of Sorros and Kos will smear the critics.

Right-wing Rag!

Don't worry, Minney Mouth and the rest of the refugees from Disneyland that lead Congress won't miss a beat.

Ya'll are missing the bigger and more important question here:   Was Nancy's plane big enough to carry herself and her entourage on a non-stop flight to said Syria?

Apparently Pelosi does not have enough on her plate such that she feels compelled to do Rice’s
job too. It looks like the Democrats are attempting a coup to also become the
executive branch. The term law makers no longer apply.

Contrary to all you've been told by the vast LEFT wing conspiracy, the same
on the Right is really, really (non) vast. Like, uh, it's tiny. In reality, there are very
few right-wing wacko media jobs. If you already have your resume in at Fox News
and the Washington Times, that pretty well covers it.

If you had a hand in writing this excellent, factual and truth filled op-ed,
what ever were you thinking? You have to feed your family first! Jobs at
the Penny Shopper just don't pay that well and the gala media and "beautiful
people and big shot politicians" parties in Omaha are pretty boring.

You DO have an out before that pink slip makes its way to your in-box. The
guys running the presses screwed up and ran your April Fool's op-ed on the wrong
day! Grab your Macs and start typing - fast! You can still make the late
edition! Again, what WERE you thinking?

“We came in friendship, hope, and determined that the road to Damascus is a road to peace,” Ms. Pelosi grandly declared.

The Road to Damascus is a landmark the bomber pilots can use to make sure they are still on course.

Give a Democrat Party free America a chance!
