Saturday, Nov. 19, 2005 10:54 a.m. EST Nancy Pelosi: Pro-Troop Vote 'a Disgrace'
Anti-war House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is blasting last night's 403 to 3 House vote in support of U.S. troops and their mission in Iraq, calling it "a disgrace."
Complaining that House Republicans had engaged in a "deception" by calling for a last minute vote on the Iraq war, the San Francisco Democrat said the pro-troop resolution was "a disservice to our country."
Pelosi said that the "Republican majority has stooped to a new low" by forcing Democrats to go on the record against an immediate pullout.
Her California colleague, House Armed Services Committee chairman, Rep. Duncan Hunter, wrote the resolution, which asked whether members thought "that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately."
"We're going to let every member answer that, and I hope the message that goes back to our troops in Iraq is that we do not support a precipitous pullout," Hunter said.
Pelosi slammed Hunter's proposal as "a political stunt and should it be rejected by this House" - minutes before she voted with the Republican majority.

Voting to not stop our side of the war is not the same as voting for war. They should declare war, because letting the enemy declare war and then just going along is kind of wimpy for red-blooded Americans.

I got a real good laugh out of listing to her spout her "I'm so patriotic" garbage last night. I don't know how the members of the house managed to keep a straight face when she talked about how much she loves the military.

I just read your post....it was TERRIFIC...
I hope that the GOP in the Senate see what happens when the dems are challenged...
Perhaps if Frist and Warner had challenged Levin, Reid and Durbin on that stupid amendment wanting the withdrawal to be dictated by the Congress....instead of SIGNING THEIR NAMES TO THE DEMS AMENDMENT, then the SENATE could have had their own "sense of the Senate"...
But...no..............
Oh, Lord.....Martin Frost is on Fox griping about Jean Schmitt saying what the Marine said about "surrender being a cowards way"....
AND, John Kasich, who is supposed to be a REPUBLICAN, is taking the darn DEMS side!!

She's right - a disgrace that, in large part thanks to her mouth, it had to come to that.
I notice she still hasn't learned to put a sock in it.
