When Speaker
Pelosi went to Syria she made a statement with the visit, which still infuriated
the wingnuts, but she did it with class and purpose.
The same cannot be said for Mr. Kucinich. Anything for publicity, right Dennis?
Kucinich, a strong anti-war opponent who trails far in the US presidential
polls, also said he won’t visit Iraq on his trip to the region because he
considers the US military deployment there illegal.“I feel the United States is engaging in an illegal occupation … I
don’t want to bless that occupation with my presence,” he said in an
interview in Lebanon, after visiting Syria. “I will not do it.”Kucinich, who accused the Bush administration of policies that have destabilized
the Mideast, met with Syrian President Bashar Assad during his visit to Damascus.
He said Assad was receptive to his ideas of “strength through peace.”
… ..
Kucinich evidently forgot
the rules. Evidently the congressman is following Bush’s lead instead of Speaker Pelosi’s.
“It has long been the custom that members of Congress do not go overseas
and criticize the president — that partisanship ends at the water’s
edge.” – Rahm Emanuel
On this one Rahm is right.
