CONTACT: Brendan Daly/Jennifer Crider 202-226-7616 Pelosi Statement on Saddam Hussein Verdict
Washington, D.C. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement today after former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was convicted in an Iraqi court of crimes against humanity:
The Iraqi people are to be commended for bringing Saddam to justice in an Iraqi court. I commend our brave American troops in Iraq as well, for the trial could not have taken place without the security and logistical support they provided.
Unfortunately, the verdict is a solitary incident in a country wracked by sectarian violence and instability. Saddams conviction and sentencing for the crimes he committed against his own people in the 1980s were expected. It remains to be seen whether the results of the trial will have any effect in ending the civil war that now engulfs Iraq.
Nearly three years after Saddams capture, the U.S. Central Command said that Iraq is near chaos. That is clear evidence of the lack of progress in bringing security to Iraq and bringing American troops home.
The failure of President Bush and his Administration to have a plan in place before the war started to complete the mission successfully was a disservice to our troops, and has come at a huge cost in casualties suffered, the degradation of our militarys readiness and in hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars. The scope of that failure is not lessened by the results of Saddams trial.

Pelosi's real message: "Iraqi's are stuck in Iraq, and it's all Bush's fault"
Thank you! I pray that one day she gets so much Botox, it paralyzes her hateful mouth shut!
Pelosi equated GOP control of the House to be freak show. Should she become Speaker, I think she can't help herself and blurt out DUmmie statements.
don't wanna bring her web site down...Just as I'm glad Chrissy Matthews is on the air...what better way to expose the liars than with their own words.....
"If there is Divine Providence in this universe, she and her ilk must lose.."
===
But don't forget, "God helps those who help themselves".
Everyone get out and vote Republican to keep this disaster from happening!
Soooooo, Nancy Pelosi says, "Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."
ain't that odd...GOP is a freak show and yet she is a regular on NIP/TUCK
Have you seen a transcript?
This turd thinks it ok to put sam man to death but is against all death sentances here in the U.S.?
Hey Nance, kiss my skinny white posterior.
I wonder what it's like being a Marxist in 2006?
Our opponents are small minded and will not win. In reading a chapter on character, I came across this passage regarding the power of the character of Napoleon and the weakness of one of his enemies. Pelosi reminds me of the latter. They must not be allowed to carry the day.
"Learning that Napoleon would soon pass alone through a long dim passage, a young man hid there to slay the ruthless invader of his country. As the emperor approached, his massive head bowed in thought, the young man raised his weapon, took careful aim, and was about to press the trigger when a slight noise betrayed his presence. Napoleon looked up, and comprehended the situation at a glance. He did not speak, but gazed intently upon the youth, a smile of haughty challenge upon his face. The weapon fell from nervous hands, and the hero of a hundred fields passed on in silence, his head again bowed in meditation upon affairs of state. To him it was but one incident in a crowded career, a mere personal triumph soon lost sight of amid memories of battles which shook the world with the thnder of his victorious legions. To the young may it was the experience of a lifetime, a crushing, bewildering sense of his own inferiority in comparison with the enormous , ponderous weight of character of a man who threw every fibre and faculty and power of his being into the life he was living. As well might the glowworm match himself against the lightning!"

Yeah, right, she is up this early to make a statement like that.
Blah, Blah, Blah. Bush's fault, Blah, Blah.
STFU stretch. Like even if she said it.
Nancy Pelosi's rant is a taunt. Clearly.
I just got out of a conversation with someone who also tried the Pelosian "no plan in place" on me. I said exactly the above, and his expression clearly indicated "Oopps, stuck in my own quagmire". "deer in the headlights". An organic, natural face stretching look.
what a pisser
Ruin her San Francisco pipe dream! VOTE REPUBLICAN on November 7th!
Her first paragraph was fine. Had she any common sense she would have stopped there.
Nancy, you and your party would love Saddam to still be in power. You terrible women!
