Pelosi: ‘The President Has Dug Us into a Deep Hole in Iraq; It Is Time for Him to Stop Digging’

Washington, D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi held a news conference today in response to President Bush’s speech on Iraq. Her remarks are below:

"What we heard today was a commitment to the status quo – a status quo that is not working.

"The ‘Plan for Victory’ backdrop against which the President appeared at the Naval Academy today was no more accurate than the ‘Mission Accomplished’ backdrop he used over two and a half years ago on the USS Abraham Lincoln.

"The President did not have a plan for victory when he went into his war of choice in Iraq, and he did not have a plan for victory today.

"The American people expected that the President would do more today than just put a new cover and 35 pages of rhetoric on old sound bites. What the American people wanted from the President today was some evidence that he has heard their concerns.

"Clearly, the President fails to understand that a new course is needed in Iraq. The President has dug us into a deep hole in Iraq; it is time for him to stop digging.

"He offered a status quo plan that would not accelerate the training of Iraqi security forces, would not motivate Iraqis to assume security responsibilities more quickly and bring American troops home.

"Instead, he suggested that we send more troops and spend more money in Iraq. That is not what the American people want.

"The President says that the security situation in Iraq is getting better. But just because the President says it, does not make it so.

She cannot leave out the Mission Accomplished sign in any press release.

I think Pelosi is confusing the president with her plastic surgeon...

Personally, I don't know what we accomplish by giving the Dems a forum on the FreeRepublic.

"Pelosi needs to shut up and have another face-lift!"

If she gets one more face lift she'll have a gotee.

Agreed. That's why I can't listen to Hannity anymore. All librats, all the time.

I realize they do this to demonstrate the nuttiness of the left, but, damn it all, we already KNOW that.

..."he went into his war of choice in Iraq..."

I hope there is a special place in hell for this liar. The thought of Pelosi living like a rock star- while our troops and their families sacrafice- makes me sick to my stomach.
