Pelosi in Syria, Part II

Josh Marshall (it seems to be a Josh Marshall morning) has this to say about Pelosi's trip and why the Bush administration is making such a fuss about it.

Pelosi's trip is an embarrassment for the president because it shows an American actually involving herself in realities on the world stage rather than stuck in denial and fantasy. That may sound a bit starry-eyed. But think about it and I'll think you'll see that that's a lot of what this is about.

Here is Marshall's prior post on this.

The flak coming from the right on this is just blinding -- just do a little surfing and you'll see what I mean. Here's an example from Digby -- and another. Both with some real facts in them.
