Pelosi: 'Having Admitted Error of His Words, President Must Admit Error of His Ways'

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on remarks by President Bush in an interview with regional newspapers yesterday in which he said he regretted saying "bring 'em on" in reference to insurgents in Iraq who wanted to attack our troops:

"The President has finally acknowledged that his taunting the Iraqi insurgents by saying 'bring 'em on' has had unintended consequences, likely increasing the dangers faced by our troops in Iraq. Although unintended, the consequences of such remarks were all too predictable.

"It was also predictable that creating a chaotic security situation in Iraq would make the country what it was not before the war -- a 'magnet for terrorists,' a result recently confirmed by the National Intelligence Council.

"More than two years ago, senior military experts such as General Eric Shinseki warned against sending too small a force to Iraq, in part because they knew that any security vacuum created by the fall of Saddam Hussein would be filled by elements united only by the desire to kill Americans. One of the many mistakes of the Iraq war is that the President did not have a plan for preventing Iraq from becoming a hotbed for terrorists. We will be paying the price of that mistake for years to come.

"Having admitted the error of his words, the President must admit the error of his ways."

I agree. It was foolish of President Bush. And what good does he think he accomplished? It irritates the people who voted for him and gives ammunition to the liberals who condemn him at every turn.

I agree. Bush should have stood his ground and said not one thing. He was ahead in the game, now this bloodsuckers will want more and more out of him.

Media and the Demorats team tagging again.

First, the media lies about what the President said, then the Demorats comment on it.

Is it really that blatant, or is it just me?

Wouldn't you hate to be her.

Totaly irrelevant. Totaly on the defensive and laughed at for attempting weak and ineffectual attacks.

What a great time for a woman to lead. Down the tubes goes the party and a woman is unable to stop the slide. The good ol boys will never let a woman control again.

And then that grimace.

To be fair, Pelosi actually used to be marginally attractive about 20 years ago. (You be the judge:

Her current hideousness may be the result of age, surgery, or perhaps it's just her inner vileness bubbling to the surface.

I think I can describe her perpetual 'deer in the headlights' look.

Oh, no - she's rich. And people might find out.

Oh, no - people aren't buying this garbage. But she'll keep saying it anyway - BOOOSH is the real criminal!

Oh, no - even she doesn't believe the bilge she oozes.

Oh, no - now a head Dem and she still doesn't know what to do.

I don't know about these rumors. You know somebody posted a comment the other day-right here at FR-that Michael Jackson has had some surgery on his face too. I mean c'mon! Michael Jackson, Jeeez!

Oh, please. Some of us actually know what he said. Acknowledging reactions to what he said does not amount to regretting what he said. He regrets the way it was reacted to. He said nothing wrong and he was bashed before for not saying he was sorry (which he still has not said and never will).

You are making a big deal out of a big nothing and you're not doing any of us any favors with your little temper tantrum.

Grow up.
