Pelosi: The "Speaker of State"?

Okay, first let me get the congratulatory part out of the way: Nancy Pelosi, congratulations on being the first woman Speaker of the House. Now, what the hell are you thinking?
Pelosi decided to conduct her own "peace-making mission" in Damascus by meeting with Syrian President Assad. I can see making rounds in the Middle East, but she cannot undermine the current administrations policies! Worse, she embarrassingly spoke in error for Israel concerning its views Syria.
Even the typically left-leaning Washington Post cannot stomach Pelosi’s conduct. In unusual tone, the Post called her statements "ludicrous." Click here and see for yourself: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/04/AR2007040402306.html
We cannot send mixed messages to foreign governments. Yes, she can visit and advocate peace, but she cannot – indeed, must not – go against the policies set by the administration. Doing so undermines the credibility of the President and the State Department, as well as giving the US a poor image of sending mixed messages.
Instead of trying to limit how the President can address the war in Iraq and fund it, she should be at every US base in Iraq telling the troops she will do everything in her power to give them equipment and support to get their job done. She should then visit all the wounded there and thank them for their efforts! Only then should she get back and authorize funding for more and better equipment for the troops to combat the explosive devices that are causing 70% of the casualties over there.
Regardless of how one feels about how we got to Iraq, we are there. Now we need to support our troops and help them get their job done effectively, and not have the Speaker undermine our troops and our diplomacy.
