'An alternative Democratic foreign policy'???

I agree with Thomas Sowell that Nancy Pelosi and the Dems are Playing with Fire:

... Until Nancy Pelosi came along, it was understood by all that we had only one president at a time and -- like him or not -- he alone had the Constitutional authority to speak for this country to foreign nations, especially in wartime.

All that Pelosi's trip can accomplish is to advertise American disunity to a terrorist-sponsoring nation in the Middle East while we are in a war there. That in turn can only embolden the Syrians to exploit the lack of unified resolve in Washington by stepping up their efforts to destabilize Iraq and the Middle East in general. ...

... Indeed, it is monkey business as usual, as Congressional Democrats revel in the power of their new and narrow election victory last year to drag people before committee hearings and posture for the television cameras.

It has been said that the world ends not with a bang but with a whimper. But who would have thought that it could end with political clowning in the shadow of a mushroom cloud?

Allahpundit covered the story a few days ago... more to come.

Update: From AllahPundit...Video: Bush criticizes Pelosi over meeting with Assad.

Update: A Delegation of House Republicans is even more annoying!
