Like flotsam on a sea of hate, the far left liberal contingency of the U.S. Congress seems to be drifting far from the principles established by the U.S. Constitution.
Having failed, so far, to divide congressional members of the left into numerous commanders in chief to direct America's war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the one and only, self-proclaimed "most powerful woman in the world," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has taken over the U.S. ship of state and floated off to Damascus, Syria, with a crew made up of members of Congress.
The U.S. Constitution confines the U.S. Congress to matters clearly defined as legislative.
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Arthur Vandenberg under the administration of President Nixon stated quite emphatically, "politics stops at the water's edge." The U.S. Constitution specifically assigns matters of state, including treaties, to the president of the United States, who, through his secretary of state, deals directly with all foreign powers.
President Bush admonished Pelosi in a Rose Garden question-and-answer session on April 3, calling her trip "counterproductive."
"Going to Syria sends mixed signals, signals in the region and, of course, mixed signals to President Assad," Bush said. "And by that I mean, you know, photo opportunities and/or meetings with President Assad lead the Assad government to believe they're part of the mainstream of the international community, when in fact, they're a state sponsor of terror."
In a most contemptible manner, Speaker Pelosi has refused the request of the president of the United States. Pelosi has undercut the effectiveness of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
