Romney targets Pelosi in foreign-policy speech

Romney brought up in his speech on foreign policy attacking Pelosi for her trip to Syria. This is a bit of a hot button issue right now and by criticizing her, he is not making any enemies...a safe statement to make. I wonder if Pelosi has given any thought of her own credibility.

“And then the Speaker of the House helped dignify a state sponsor of terror,” Romney said, in excerpts released by his campaign. “At this time of war, her action stands as one of the most partisan, divisive and ill-considered of any national leader in this decade.” Romney said the state of the U.S. military had declined during the Clinton administration, and he called for expanding the military by 100,000 troops.

I think that this is a attempt to discredit Pelosi. Romney claimed that she should not go to a terror state like Syria during war, but the American public does not support the war. As a result, the attempt to discredit Pelosi is not going to work.
