The older I get the more I think the Dems and Republicans are in it together. Aside from some fundamental differences on a few topics, they both have the same objective – improving or maintaining their grip on power.
On the surface, it would appear that Pelosi’s visit undermined the White House’s efforts in how it deals with a terrorist-harboring state such as Syria. However, the more I think about it, the more I believe that this visit may be setting the stage for some sort of good cop-bad cop negotiation tactics later on down the road, even perhaps as they pertain to relations with Iran.
I feel that everything we are doing, from a broader military and political policy standpoint, is done with an eye towards confronting Iran…either diplomatically or militarily. Defeating/weakening Iran is a must if we are to win the war on terror.
