Rewarding Bad Behavior

Apparently, Condi Rice hates America.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said her meeting with the Syrian foreign minister, the first high-level talks in years between the United States and Syria, was "professional" and focused on how to improve security in Iraq.

Rice met with Walid Moallem for a half-hour on the sidelines of a two-day conference about Iraq's future, taking the opportunity to air U.S. concerns about Syria's notoriously porous border with its neighbor.

"I didn't lecture him and he didn't lecture me," Rice said afterward. "I would say it was professional. It was businesslike."

Rice obviously doesn't understand the nature of the threat we face. She's a traitor to her country for rewarding bad behavior by the Syrian government. How dare she talk to our enemies. Condi Rice should be prosecuted under whatever law we can find for subverting our foreign policy.

Oh wait, that's Nancy Pelosi.

(By the way, Tony Snow is bobbing and weaving like crazy on this issue at the press briefing today.)
