PELOSI VS. PELOSI
House Minority Leader Pelosi Breaks
Her Pledge To Support Porter Goss
For CIA Director
_______________________________________________
PROMISE MADE …
In June, Pelosi Pledged Her Support For Goss If He Was Nominated Because Of His Independence. “If Goss is nominated for the post, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California said that she would support him. Pelosi worked closely with Goss during the congressional investigation into the Sept. 11 attacks. Whoever replaces Tenet needs to be independent of political pressure, Pelosi said. Goss, who worked for the CIA before becoming a congressman in 1988, has shown that ability as chairman of the House Intelligence panel, she added.” (“CIA To See Change In Leadership Style,” Chattanooga Times Free Press, 6/5/04)
… PROMISE NOT KEPT
Pelosi Says She Does Not Support Porter Goss’ Nomination Because He’s Too Partisan. CNN’s ED HENRY: “Nancy Pelosi though, did point out … that maybe Porter Goss is too political of a pick, at a time in the post-9/11 world where there should be more bipartisanship on national security. Here’s what Pelosi had to say.” PELOSI: “But I will say what I said before is that there shouldn't – a person should not be the director of central intelligence who’s acted in a very political way when we’re dealing with the safety of the American people. Intelligence has to be the gathering and analysis and dissemination of information, of intelligence, without any political, any politics involved at all.” (CNN’s “Inside Politics,” 8/10/04)
I wonder if Old Bug Eyes decided on this flip-flop all by herself or if somebody higher up the food chain decided for her.....
Prairie
And I should know...
Dang, that's good!
Looks like the democrap slogan should be switched from the jackass to a dolphin (Flipper!)
This is news?
The cupidity of the democrat party hacks never ceases to amaze me.
She is safely on the dem plantation.
Agreed, no news here.

I can't decide. Which side is my better side?
"There's no place for politics in intelligence." -- Nancy Pelosi
I think she got it just backwards.
Nancy Pelosi's whole tenure as House Minority leader has been a joke. Remember Bush's State of the Union address when he mentioned many of the countries supporting us in Iraq, and Pelosi's Democratic Response called Bush's policies go-it-alone? This waffle should come as no surprise.
Bump to stiff this RAT
What difference is it? She can't vote.
If she was fully supporting Goss... Id be suspect of him!
Since when has a democrat told the truth.
"Non-partisan"??????? There is no such thing in politics! Wake up all. Now she can say she was for him before she was against him. Now who told her how to do that? The war crimminal?
