House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi on Saturday called the war in Iraq a "grotesque mistake" that has not made the United States safer. Giving her party's weekly radio address, the California congresswoman said President Bush's decision to invade Iraq has siphoned resources and attention away from the broader war on terror and the hunt for Osama bin Laden. "We would be much safer today if President Bush had kept his focus on al-Qaida, rather than diverting crucial resources from the war on terror in Afghanistan to a war of choice in Iraq," she said, echoing recent comments by Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry. "This war has been a grotesque mistake that has diminished our reputation in the world and has not made America safer," she said. On the same note, Kerry said Friday that Bush's policies have "let Osama bin Laden slip away." Bush calls Iraq the front line in the war on terror and in his re-election campaign has cast himself as the more steady leader who would keep the country safer. Elsewhere in her broadcast, Pelosi criticized congressional Republicans who have shown support for a new national sales tax, which she said would hurt the middle class. "Wealthy corporate interests would get a windfall, and the middle class would get the bill," she said. Bush has said that in a second term he would work to simplify the federal income tax, and he and other Republicans insist it is Kerry who would increase Americans' taxes. House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., called for a national sales tax or consumption-based tax in a recent book. But Bush's suggestion this summer that a national sales tax is worth serious consideration drew a backlash from Democrats and many Republicans, and the idea was quickly discarded.

LOL!
And Pelosi knows "grotesque".
Lazamataz Calls Nancy Pelosi 'Grotesque Mistake'
Oh no.. now she's thinking she's the Queen, uttering from her high throne. She's another Humpty Dumpty.
MISTAKE --- Don't look in the mirror when talking.
Pelosi Galore spewing the vile hatred of GW that ensures her re election by the Gay maggot capitol, San Francisco.
Don't be surprised if Bush's numbers take a hit in the next week, until after the debates.
So she named her face "Iraq War"?
The democrat party has adopted the "Spanish Strategy" (my term), synchronizing and linking all their remaining efforts to coordinate with a pre-election al Queda terror attack on the US. They hopes to replicate the come-from-behind victory of the Spanish leftists, after the pre-election mass bombings of rush hour Madrid commuter trains by the IslamoFascists.
Kerry has (as all Presidential Candidates have) top secret homeland security inside information which details the obvious risks about an al Queda attack in the days before the general election on November 2, 2004.
He has focused all of his campaign negative energies on Iraq, bad mouthing our presence there and the democratic new government. This is self-serving and evil, but it does represent a rational political position on Kerry's part, positioning himself as the antiwar candidate. This might assure victory to an otherwise failing campaign, if public sentiment turns against the war efforts after a late October terrorist attack.
Why do Democrats always adopt the rhetoric of the enemy?
I can't seem to understand this phenomenon. Can someone help me out?
"Minority Leader" says it all, especially with a Republican president!
Remeber when 'Snake Oil' Carville put that trash can over his head on CNN after the last election? We need to see if we can get Pelosi to throw one over her 'grostesque mistake' after this next one.
"Why do Democrats always adopt the rhetoric of the enemy?"
Because they are the enemy. How else can it be explained?
Talk about calling the kettle black
Post 14: I just hurled. And this is a defocused GOOD picture of this vicious, evil hag.
God, she's hot....
"Congresscritter, I know grotesque.... and your are grotesque", to paraphrase another Dim bulb.
Does she look like a deer in the headlights or what?
