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. 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.

Hey Pelosi, I thought the Senate was the chamber with committees on Foreign Relations and Intelligence.

but if the report paints such a bad picture of Iraq and is soooo bad for Bush, why did Nancy want it to be secret?

Heard Jane Harmon on ABC Radio news at the top of the hour with the new talking points: There's
another Iraq report, just on Iraq, that's been put on the shelf so that no-one can see it.
Question for Harmon: If you haven't seen it, what makes you think you know what's in it? If it even really exists.

How dare you!!! The only thing Wallace has in common with Nancy Pelosi is a face made of clay. As a big fan of Wallace and Grommit I am deeply offended! Have you no decency?

So - If the United States leaves Iraq, all the terrorist will rejoice and throw down their weapons. LOL
If that's the DemocRATs strategy for winning the war on terror, they should be prepared to lose resoundingly this November.
