Nancy Pelosi: Zarqawi Death Changes Nothing

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is warning Americans not to get too excited over the death of Abu Musab al Zarqawi, saying in a statement issued by her office Thursday that it really won't do much to improve the situation in Iraq.
After briefly noting that she was "proud of our troops for their tireless work," the top House Democrat wasted no time in throwing cold water on the good news.
"[Zarqawi's] death does not alter the fact that our brave men and women in uniform are fighting a war of choice in which the President sent our troops into harm's way without a plan for victory and without leveling with the American people," she complained.
"Several hours after Zarqawi's death, 19 Iraqis were killed and 40 were wounded in a roadside bombing in Baghdad," the San Francisco Democrat noted. "These deaths are a stark reminder of the ongoing violence facing our brave men and women in uniform."
Pelosi said she still agreed with Rep. John Murtha that the U.S. should pull out of Iraq, then added: "Zarqawi's death should be a resounding call to President Bush and the Republican Congress that we must have a serious debate about U.S. policy in Iraq."

Yep, but your reaction is common sense.
Nancy probably would need more time to think about this.

The problem with Democrat "leadership" is...ILLEGAL DRUGS.
Far more than Republicans, Democrats are now, and have in the past, indulged in illegal drugs. It shows up in their inability to think and in their herd-like adherence to illogical ideas.

I am going to use that one! Feel free and don't forget it. Zarqawi committed more acts of terror in the last 4 years than any human being on the planet.
Now, let's say you were # 2 or # 3 or # 4,000 on that list. Would you be MORE inclined or LESS inclined to flip the bird to Uncle Sam right about now?
Remember when Saddam was pulled out of the spider hole and that very week Muammar al-Gaddafi gave up his entire terror arsenal? We'll never know about it, but I guarantee there will be quite a few terrorists changing career paths very very soon.
The left likes to imagine that every time we kill someone like Zarqawi, 50 more take his place. I'd say it's more likely that 5,000 wannabes go back to some job that doesn't involve getting a 500 pound bomb dropped on your head.

Keep talkin' Pelosisaurus, keep talkin'.

Given her face lifts you are probably right. Her anatomy may have shifted to the point that her g-spot is in the back of her head.

Doesn't she really mean to say that the death of al Zarqawi does nothing to change the attitude of the MSM.

The bi*ch is right. >sarcasm<
The killing of that democrat wanna be is just going to make it harder for the ultra left wing kooks, like Pelosi, to make their theory that the war is not going the right way. The right way for the DIMS in the wrong way for our country and Iraq. With Zarqawi now at room temperature, it is like cutting the head off the snake. Another leader of the terrorists will appear soon, but maybe he won't have a fancy for cutting heads off people like Zarqawi. At least with him out of commission, permanently, it will throw the terrorists off their game plan for a while. It just may help the Allies to get a jump on things and soon head home so they can be posted on the Mexican border.

Pelosi's life changes nothing. I think the nation would best be served by seeing Nancy and Hillary Jello wrestling .... provided they were both properly attired mind you, with no unnecessary displays of flesh.
