Pelosi Doesn't Understand War on Terror, Hastert Says By Susan Jones CNSNews.com Senior Editor October 24, 2006
(CNSNews.com) - The United States cannot win the global war on terror if U.S. leaders don't understand it -- and Rep. Nancy Pelosi does not understand it, House Speaker Dennis Hastert said on Tuesday.
Hastert -- who holds the job that Pelosi is eager to assume -- was reacting to Pelosi's remarks on the CBS program "60 Minutes." He said her comments should serve as a "bellwether" for the American people.
"Democrat Leader Pelosi would trust the terrorists to give up their objective and play nice in exchange for the United States leaving Iraq. This outlook is foolish, naive and dangerous," Hastert said.
Pelosi told CBS's Leslie Stahl that yes, there are terrorists in Iraq. "But that doesn't mean we stay there. They'll stay there as long as we're there. They're there because we're there," she said.
Hastert said the minority leader is wrong. The global war on terror is just that -- global, he said. "It is not fought in just one country. It is not even fought in one hemisphere."
Hastert said that's why Pelosi's comments are "irresponsible."
"Is the Democrat Minority Leader really turning a blind eye towards the countless number of terrorists that we are fighting in the streets and battlefields of Iraq and also in numerous countries around the world? Does she forget the nearly 3,000 victims of September 11th? The 201 victims of the Madrid train bombings? And the 52 victims of the London bomb attacks? These were all innocent victims of the Global War on Terror. And what about the countless others who have been saved because of our efforts?

democRATS Don't Understand War on Terror
EXACTLY!! Heaven help us all if they regain power!
Her brother was also Mayor, and as a young man he beat a rape charge when the witness conveniently went missing. As Mayor, he was indicted for corruption along with Councilman DiPietro. Charges were dismissed when the prime witness disappeared. He turned up days later in a Las Vegas (mob-related) hotel.
I know this because I was briefly living next door to the D'Alesandros, and because I was running for City Council there, when the D'Alesandro / DiPietro charges were dismissed. These things were all headline news in Baltimore. They don't rate a one-line reference in the MSM today. I wonder why?

Please see my most recent statement on running for Congress, here.
Pelosi may be Rove's October surprise.
If it was supposed to be a puff piece, it failed IMO. She came off as a nasty hag with suppressed Hillary-type anger. She was also visibly shaking at times. I wonder what kind of medication she is on.
It's kinda looking like Rove's October surprise is no October surprise. Hold on to your wallets, guys 'n gals and shoot the terrorists when they attack in the US.
That coming from you is an extreme comment and definitely catches my eye. :^)
She won't get it until the muzzies take over her wine fields and start making bread spread with her prize grapes and turn her elite golf course into a refugee camp.
She's a Mafia princess. There is no cure.
You are correct sir!
Thank you.
ROFL!!
Also, how very true.
So where did the lead go that found Pelosi to have planted a gay page from her district in order to create havoc in the log cabin ranks? Talk about a Mafia setup. This woman is indictable.
Ah but she is NOT about to go under oath with what she knows and when she knew it.... That is the unveiling of Nancy.
Patiently waiting for the daily Nancy Pelosi Press Release (NPPR) in response to Hastart's comments. Hastert was too nice. He should have called her what she is.
The whites of Nancy's Eyes came into view during the Foley-floater. Come a little closer, Nancy.
I would think that her husbands international business dealings mainly the PRC would present to much of a conflict of interest for her to hold one of the most important positions in the US Gov.
