I'd say she had a Midol moment, but she's too old. Heehee, I would have loved to seen this!
Good job! BUMP!
Pelosi says that the most successful wartime President in US history is not a leader, is ignorant, etc. Very interesting. Success means incapacity to lead. I see now. Even if Bush's attack on Iraq were less compelling than it is, even if everything the democrats said were true [which they were not], Bush's success spreads fear in the hearts of our enemies. We would be insane, fresh after 9-11-01, to take this air head seriously. Therefore, her knee-jerk partizan statements should be played on Bush ads, along with casualty figures in other wars, and images of not only 9-11, but also images of Pearl Harbor, images of U boats sinking cruise ships during both world wars, images of South Koreans slaughtered by NK, and news clips of Cambodia after the communists took over.
It's a big, scary world, filled with evil. Not much has changed. We need a strong commander-in-chief.
Among Pelosi, Algore, and Kerry, the Dems are spiraling outta control!!!
Here is the reply I got to my complaint about Pelosi from Sam Farr:
---Dear Mr. Sjoberg:
Thank you for contacting me regarding Leader Nancy Pelosi's remarks on the war in Iraq.
Admittedly, Leader Pelosi was frank and direct in her remarks but she gave voice to a growing sentiment -- and evidence -- that this Administration has mislead the country with regard to the war and miscalculated the impact of U.S. actions in Iraq on the global community. I, too, believe that this war's failure is largely due to the lack of leadership by President beginning with his willingness to make grand foreign policy gestures at the expense of our national credibility around the world. Furthermore, the very least our men and women in combat deserve is to know that their Commander in Chief has a complete plan of action before they go into battle. Because of the volatile security situation on the ground, attempts at winning the 'hearts and minds' of the Iraqis via the $18 billion reconstruction effort is failing, with only approximately $1 billion spent in projects through April, 2004. Unfortunately, every day it becomes more and more clear that there is no comprehensive plan for Iraq. Since President Bush declared "Mission Accomplished" in May 2003, more U.S. soldiers have been killed than during the actual war, with U.S. troops sustaining a horrific loss of 145 lives in April 2004 alone.
Looking forward, the role of the United Nations in Iraq should be increased. We need the considerable expertise of the United Nations in building democratic institutions and helping to develop a viable civil society. Most importantly, however, the UN can bring international legitimacy to the transition process when Ambassador Bremer and the Coalition Provisional Authority pass governing responsibility to the interim government.
Obviously, war is tragic and while each of us may hold different opinions about whether the U.S. should have gone to war, we must all remember and honor the casualties of war. That demands accountability by the U.S. for its actions and a strong post-conflict reconstruction effort -- something this Administration has failed to provide.
Sincerely,
Sam Farr
Member of Congress, CA-17---
The Dems are all having nervous breakdowns. All their attacks on Bush are having little effect on polls and they have nothing to run on.
With luck, she'll quit, Boxer will lose and Bush wins California.
Painfully so.
