I wonder, since it only takes ONE senator...to do the same thing in the Senate....if Pelosi called Reid after this got voted down...and told him to close down the Senate this afternoon???
We will see soon...they are due back in about 20 minutes.
Stretch is up to no good.
The proposal from House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was denied by a vote of 171-217. Such a session hasn't happened in the House since July 1983, when the chamber went into a closed session to discuss the United States' support for paramilitary operations in Nicaragua.

YES! Apparently so!
Duh!!!!
Is this supposed to be wrong? Sounds like good policy in our War against Terrorists who Murder Americans. When you have enough flies stuck, you tear off the sheet and throw it away. Would they prefer the terrorists to be over here?
Thanks!
I hope Hastert says no and that he will hold an open session to debate it for all the world to hear.
And she wants to be speaker.
She thought she had clout. HAR!
This was predicted ALL summer when everyone was screaming that Bush was losing everything.
The President will not lose this. He will not lose the war. He has a hand full of aces and he was just playing it cool until he ran up the pot.
For being so dumb, the President sure outwits a whole lot of people. Terrorists and democrats alike.
pelousy...another media whore
'tween durbin, kerry, kennedy, reid et al they could start their own softball team... the "Meatheads" LOL
and lets not forget the watergirls, timmy russert & chrissy matthews. and last but not least, the queen of the media whores, cindy sheehan who has been dancing on her son's casket all these many months.
Thanks for giving us the 411 on Shays. But Ron Paul is still an assclown.
House voted --- Pelosi and the democrats LOST.
Butt covering statement, I think.
Democrats lose bid for closed House

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrats failed Tuesday to push the House into an unusual secret session to discuss a classified intelligence analysis on global terrorism that says the Iraq war is nourishing a new generation of extremist operatives.
The proposal from House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was denied by a vote of 171-217.

You're right. Roberts has said that the Intelligence committee, which he chairs and Lott is on, has had the report since April, when it was originally issued. I have heard others say that Congress had not seen it and that the leak must therefore have come from someone in the Administration, e.g. CIA or State.
I think the comment about "Congress" not having the NIE may have been intended to talk about all of congress.
Darn, that makes it harder to track down the leaker.
However, if we can demonstrate that the reports in the Times and WaPo are based on lies we ought to be able to demand that they reveal their source(s).
Ask the Old gray Whore. She is the DNC official intelligence source.
oh yeah, duh !
he...pushing clout became a rout.
There you go, AB....President Bush, from the very START, has said that his "plan" was to fight it over there..and not here...
I have always found the dems' arguement that Iraq is a staging ground for terrorists is a stupid arguement for THEM to make...since it is exactly what we WANT>
