White Noise Insanity

Anyone who thinks the democrats are going to sit back come January 2007 and sip tea while the Bush Regime continues on their path of destruction, think again. Apparently the Bush Regime did not like the idea of Senator Nelson of Florida going to Syria to talk with the leader of this country, but after careful consideration, Nelson went anyways.

No one is listening to Bush! I love it.

From the article linked above:

WASHINGTON (Dec. 13) - In a direct affront to the Bush administration, a Democratic senator spent an hour Wednesday with Syrian President Bashar Assad in Damascus, asking him to do more to stabilize Iraq .

Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida, a member of the Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, met with Assad after the State Department said that it disapproved of his trip. The United States has limited diplomatic ties with Syria because of its support of Hezbollah and Hamas, which the U.S. deems terrorist organizations, and President Bush has expressed reluctance to seek help from Damascus on Iraq until the Syrians curb that support and reduce their influence in Lebanon.

Assad "clearly indicated a willingness to cooperate" in controlling its border with Iraq, Nelson told reporters in a conference call following the meeting. The U.S. says foreign fighters often enter Iraq across that boundary.

So what is Senator Nelson's real reason for going then?...

The senator shrugged off suggestions he was challenging Bush's authority by sidestepping administration policy that the U.S. have no contact with Syrian officials.

"I have a constitutional role as a member of Congress," Nelson said.

Well said, Mr. Nelson. It's going to be so nice having the House of Representatives and the Senate acting in the way they should be acting and should have been acting during the last six years! Hell, the democrats haven't even received their power yet and they're giving Bush the finger! It will be great to see oversight, fact gathering, hearings & investigations of the White House to keep them all in check, and peaceful measures being used to make....egads!....peace, which will restore America's reputation in the world.

Ahhhhhh, I so welcome it.
