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."
The more Pelosi is on television the better.
More gotcha. They want the President to admit he's been wrong about the last four years - and the next four.

she has much to attain for. she should STFU!
Well at least "W" has gotten rid of all them terrorists! Nothing left but insurgents now...lol
LOL...He should declare victory.
Bush should have never expressed any regret for the remarks. If the president really has that kind of influence over their emotions, and actions, then I'm all for his looking into the camera with the blunt, "Drop Dead."
To most ordinary folks, the original remarks likely showed confidence and determination. Only among the hand-wringing elite does such blunt language cause trouble. Bush's rough image has been the key to his elections all along. Recall how the milquetoast nature of the father hurt him so badly if you want proof. Nobody wants that mealy-mouth stuff except for a tiny minority. I can tell you that I am not all that worried about the occasional boisterous remark. It would do the country good if people spoke more frankly.
This was, of course, a story all but designed to lead the Dems, as we have seen time and time again. No suprises here, folks. Pelosi is creepy-looking, though, for what it's worth.
This loathesome witch wouldn't be satisfied if he wore sack cloth and ashes, so I hope he's finished with the groveling show for Ba-wahh. They aren't going to like him any more for it and he only appears weak.
And if they get that, they'll use it to start banging the impeachment drum.
Darn author of that picture....obviously a lib/dem.
That's why the Dems were so upset with it.
As I predicted here.
Those "love beads" that get a lot of use in San Fran
Why doesn't this bigmouth admit the errors of HER ways. What a jerk.
Pelosi fashion statement: colored golf balls around the neck. Maybe she is so idiotic because she got bonked with a few of them.
