1. PELOSI IS AN IDIOT
USA   (04.01.07)
2. Pelosi this is TREASON
Johnson ,   USA   (04.01.07)
She is a liar, and will say anything to make a deal, and dealing with the devil she is. Her and her commi party are Jew haters will sell Israel, and my country out to our enemies.
3. Ms Pelosi & her mission
peter ,   amsterdam NL   (04.01.07)
#1: No arguments for your opinion? I don't know this woman 1st hand but from what I've seen since she's become speaker of the house of rep. she hasn't put a foot wrong. Leading a mission of house rep. to Syria/Lebanon is taking political risks, because it could backfire. I hope she'll accomplish something instead of being instantly slandered by the likes of you.
4. Pelosi
Linda ,   Texas, USA   (04.01.07)
Pelosi and the others can only meet with Syria and Lebanon as citizens of the U.S. since none of them have been authorized to speak to these government leaders on behalf of the U.S. governement or its people. What she and her group is doing is potentially dangerous, not to mention just plain stupid. Her authority is ZERO - she just hasn't figured it out yet.
5. Pelosi and hostages
Mostansar Virk ,   Canton, MI   (04.01.07)
Did the speaker also try to release the thousands of Palestinian hostages held in Israeli jails? I think it is only fair if we try to work for justice based on a mutual cooperation instead of trying to put the other side's concerns/issues under the rug. thank ou
6. Justice
Ali ,   Ramallah-Palestine   (04.01.07)
How about 10322 Palestinian families whom are waiting for signs from their sons in the ISRAELI prisons????? As long as USA and Israel see with one eye and discriminate between human beings, there is no hope for peace in this region. TRUST ME!!!
7. Why Would The Terrorists Listen To her?
Skippy McKool ,   Placerville, USA   (04.01.07)
that silly ditzy liberal broad ditz pelosi, the mushlums are laughing at you
8. #5&6 those terrorists have 3 meals a day-more'n they deserve
(04.01.07)
9. JEWS LOOKING TO GOYIM FOR HELP.KING DAVID PRAYED THEN KILLED
TRY 'GD' OF ISRAEL ,   ..............DACON9   (04.01.07)
10. Stretch Pelosi Won’t Help Americans, why would she help Jews
Yoni   (04.01.07)
The queen of plastic surgery in the US government is a traitor for traveling to an avowed enemy of the US and terrorist aid enemy to the US troops in Iraq. And these poor people ask her to help?
11. #9 - so stupid: why don't we just "pray then kill"
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (04.01.07)
You sound about as unrealistic and backward as the mullahs in Iran. As if the Jewish people can take on the whole world without the "goyim." Hey ingrate: here in Israel we depend on and appreciate gentiles of good will, particularly the Americans. We share interests, values and common enemies with Christians. Particularly American ones. Even a chiloni like me can see that we need to be asking the God of Israel to bless our gentile friends, not belittle them. People like Linda Rivera are devoted and passionate friends and I am glad we have them. Even when I don't agree with them.
12. Perhaps Rep. Pelosi is a friend? I hope so. What about....
Allen ,   USA   (04.01.07)
newly elected Congressman Keith Ellison? Mr. Ellison is a friend of the Saudi Wahhabi lobby; the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas, pro-Hezbollah Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), from whom Ellison got campaign contributions and much support. Then Ellison was involved with Louis Farrakhan's Jew-hating Nation of Islam? Of all people, why did Majority Leader, Nancy Pelosi choose this man to accompany her to Israel.

usa observer   (04.01.07)
Thank you. Well said.
14. #6
Michael   (04.01.07)
Just another excuse for arabs to go on kidnapping and killing. there is a moral difference between a detained suicide bomber and a soldier patrolling his territory. Oops, I forgot arabs don't recognize the rights of the jews to live in their homeland. That sounds pretty discriminatory to me.
15. 14- mike
American ,   USA   (04.01.07)
no, the Palestinian is right. Israel has tortured,stolen land, and had too many accidental 'killings' in the occupied territories. Peace is NOT ONE SIDED.
16. Why not?
enzo ,   london,uk   (04.01.07)
I pray with all my heart that she can do something to have those innocents returned alive and well to their families!
17. She won't rest
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (04.02.07)
until Suha Arafat hugging Clinton is elected President and then we will be sold out!
18. I don't undestand something....
Dovy   (04.02.07)
I thought Pelosi was elected by her district in California to worry about their concerns as their representative. And I thought she was elected Speaker to preside over the AMERICAN House of Representative. I didn't know part of her job description was to travel and worry about the Zionist State more than to Canada, or to Louisiana or California. US representatives are supposed to worry about US problems FIRST, SECOND and THIRD!
19. Begging For 'Peace' - Of The Grave
Adina Kutnicki ,   US   (04.02.07)
All of this sounds very syrupy, but the truth is that nothing will come of it. Pelosi won't budge these terror leaders a bloody inch. Also, Itzik sounds like a very desperate suitor/housewife begging Assad for 'peace'. She would be well advised to prepare the country for WAR and to give the IDF orders to not stop until victory is achieved. Then, Assad will be BEGGING Israel for peace. THAT is the way it is done in the middle east. I even know this fact on the ground, and I am from from NJ!

USA   (04.02.07)
any more comments peter and maybe mind your business,your country is more than willing to do bizz with thr terrorists,am i not right,oh ya can you vote for pelosi.
21. I guess everyone is too diplomatic to mention the obvious.
D- ,   San Diego, USA   (04.02.07)
22. Ms. Pelosi: your actions speak MUCH louder than words
Zvi ,   USA   (04.02.07)
Your words may be "demands," but do you understand at all what the Syrian junta will hear? They will hear your actions on Iraq, and your inaction against Syria, as evidence that you are a wimp who won't stand up against aggresson and terrorism, even blatant aggression and terrorism. And so you will get NOTHING from Syria. When you go to Syria, you will in fact convince al-Assad EVEN MORE that he is taking the right course by attacking Israel and attacking US interests. Oh. And al-Assad doesn't respect women very much. He will think that you are going to Damascus to BEG. You just don't get it, do you?
23. Pelusi, Don't trust her for anything
Brenda ,   Indiana, USA   (04.02.07)
Pelusi is as two-faced as they come and not a word she says can be trusted unless it has something to with giving her more power. When she won the office of Speaker, she held up the gravel and said with a big smile on her face, "Now, I've got the power". She is supposed to be a serious Catholic but she is fully in support of abortion and gay marriage. I wonder if she thinks that "confessing these things to her priest gives her forgiveness and does it also support her voting for the taking of little innocent lives over and over again? She gave a man who is up on charges a high office on one of the House committees. Did you hear about the man who had $90,000.00 in a plastic bag in his freezer? She has gone against President Bush at every turn instead of supporting the American troops in Iraq and in other places in the world, she does everything she can against them. This trip to Syria is dangerous and she should know it. She doesn't have any power to broker deals with any country and to visit an enemy country will not make them our friends. One look at her false smile and everyone should know what she is. The fact that she doesn't follow the tenants of her faith should tell you something. She is a fake, a hypocrat, and a BIG lier. Believe it.
24. the one-state-solution
kevin ,   USA   (04.02.07)
the Bible does not support a two-state solution...any party or nation that proposes dividing the Land is going to receive divine judgement...we need to be on the Lord's side not a particular political party's <><
25. Go, Nancy, go! Un f... believable!!!!!
Oleg ,   USA   (04.02.07)
26. How can you tell when a politician is lying?
Ann Dillworth ,   NYC   (04.02.07)
I 'won't rest till captives are home' ... uh huh. Sure. And... the Moon is made of cheese! Of course you'll rest, Nancy. This just **sounds** good! And, yeah, there actually are people out there stupid enough to believe it. Nancy, how many more times are you going to shoot yourself in the foot before you run for President???
27. Did the Democratic Party supply her with a white flag?
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (04.02.07)
She will tell Assad that the United States doesn't belong in Iraq. Assad will smile. She will talk trash about Bush. Assad will grin. She will tell Assad that he must release the captured Israeli's. Assad will practically choke to death...before he sends her packing.
28. A SOLUTION!
Sam ,   Sydney Australia   (04.02.07)
Why does anyone think any of these troops are ever coming home? Back in 2004, Iran was different, MUCH different. FOLKS, this is 2007 and the 15 British and 20 plus Israelis and other foreigners being held hostage in Iran aren't coming home until Iran becomes much different again. Our "friend," Nancy, with her BEGGING just added at least 10 years to hostage's "sentences" - and if we try to shorten this through war, well, not a good idea. Maybe the way out is to seize several thousand Iranians, Syrians and other assorted cultists and trade them for the hostages in Iran. Palestinians always want a 1 for 200 or 1 for 500 swap. (I guess they think we're worth 500 times more ??? - WOW - what a self esteem problem for them!!!) The Iranians, deep down, probably believe we're hundreds of times better than they are as well, so we're going to need to take thousands of hostages to exchange. The BIG difference is we'll obey the Geneva conventions and not parade our hostages on TV. I guess we really ARE better. Maybe this isn't the best solution, BUT it undoes NANCY's BEGGING and it is NON-VIOLENT! Violence is NOT the answer.
29. #9
Angela ,   USA   (04.02.07)
Come on Dacon why so negative? I prayed and had a feeling that soldiers are coming home. Perhaps crazy idea, but oh well.
30. #3 Wrong, wrong, wrong
cj ,   usa   (04.02.07)
Since your'e NOT from our country, your lack of correct information is apparent. This is all a political show to score cheap points and embarass the president. She has created chaos in the House and as Leader of the House, she has to do something to show herself strong. She actually looks like an idiot for doing this. Isreael does not need the Speaker to the US House of Reps. to send a hand written message to Assad. This is why our country has a State Department to handle these matters, and a Secretary of State to represent our country. She has scored NO points in this country, and if anything she has lost a HUGE amount of respect from the people that are under her. A fool for sure is what she is. Her second and third in command won't say anything to her about this because they want her to look stupid. And she fell right into their trap. So next time my friend, mind your own business.
