Just yesterday I posted that Nancy Pelosi's ignorant actions in Syria were "dangerous to her career." Today I've already been proven right, as the Washington Post delivers a devastating indictment:
...As any diplomat with knowledge of the region could have told Ms. Pelosi, Mr. Assad is a corrupt thug whose overriding priority at the moment is not peace with Israel but heading off U.N. charges that he orchestrated the murder of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri. The really striking development here is the attempt by a Democratic congressional leader to substitute her own foreign policy for that of a sitting Republican president. Two weeks ago Ms. Pelosi rammed legislation through the House of Representatives that would strip Mr. Bush of his authority as commander in chief to manage troop movements in Iraq. Now she is attempting to introduce a new Middle East policy that directly conflicts with that of the president. We have found much to criticize in Mr. Bush's military strategy and regional diplomacy. But Ms. Pelosi's attempt to establish a shadow presidency is not only counterproductive, it is foolish.
That's what gamers and digg.com readers call being "pwned."
And it's important to recognize that the Washington Post has done a great service to the country, in having the courage to take this position. We've come to expect MSM to support the Dems at every opportunity. But actions like this by the Washington Post are the kind of thing that can reverse the failing fortunes of MSM - by showing that MSM wants what's good for the United States. More articles like this, finding ways to show appreciation of and support for the U.S., could dramatically change the financial situation for MSM.
