Republicans Bashed Bush In Damascus

Tweet

Republican representatives Darrell Issa of California, David L. Hobson of Ohio and Frank Wolf of Virginia abandoned their post up on Capitol Hill and went to Syria to give aid and comfort to him [Assad] instead of supporting the president.


You know where these Congressmen should be? They belong right here in the Capitol doing the work of the people. They should be on the phone calling Crawford, Texas pleading with President Bush not to veto the funding for the troops.

Instead, the three republican congressmen go to the belly of the beast - to the terrorists themselves in Syria to sip tea with them and give aid and comfort, instead of funding a withdrawal of our troops from Iraq. House Leader Nancy Pelosi happened to go to Syria with this fact-finding delegation. However, she took no part in the attacks on President Bush.

Excerpt:
In a telephone interview last night from Saudi Arabia, Hobson said Pelosi "did not engage in any bashing of Bush in any meeting I was in and she did not in any meeting I was in bash the policies as it relates to Syria."

Fortunately, only Republicans bashed Bush and his policies according to the reports.

Excerpt:
Asked to comment on Bush's criticism of the congressmen's visits to Damascus, Issa said: 'President Bush, is the head of state, but he hasn't encouraged dialogue. That's an important message to realize: we have tensions, but we have two functioning embassies.'

What is he saying? That President Bush has a dysfunctional foreign policy? What would possibly give anyone that idea?

Why do Republicans hate Bush - shame on them!
