I don't see a Pelosi quote criticizing other US politicians during that trip. Did I overlook it? I did see, "The United States has kept Syria in the loop as part of an international support group for Iraq. U.S. officials sat down with Iran and Syria, among others, in February on ways to improve Iraq's security situation." Which makes a mockery of condemning others for talking to or advocating talks with Syria and Iran. Then there is this quote: "Pelosi was careful to say that Democrats and President Bush share no policy differences on Israel, the Palestinians or Syria." Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Seems different to me. I'll look at the other link now.

Kucinich behaved like a twerp. His performance in his presidential run was commensurate with what he deserved for doing that. I wouldn't lose any sleep if his constituents tossed him out on his butt this fall. I never mentioned him before because I don't pay attention to him.

Bob - The latter link you posted regarding Kucinich's visit to Syria is a blog entry obviously intended humor piece, attributed to a pseudonym. I seriously doubt that Kucinich ever said anything about "peace through strength, peace through defeating the US." One clue is that if you look very closely, you can see that the photograph of Kucinich standing on Assad's desk has been doctored. The real Kucinich is not that tall. ;-) I can't believe you used that as a serious source. - Allen
