Pelosi Says Iraq Is Not "a War To Win"

Bottom Line Up Front ^ | 11/09/06 | Amy Procttor

[Col. Bob]

Nancy Pelosi was interviewed on Fox Report tonight and asked what her plan for victory in Iraq would look like. After a few seconds of stammering, the obvious awkward moment ended. Here's Nancy Pelosi on defining victory in Iraq:

“The point is this isn’t a war to win, it’s a situation to solve. And you define ‘winning’ any way you want, but you must solve this problem.”

"This isn't a war to win"? This is the next SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES? We're doomed.

See the video on Amy's URL:

Discover the Network put it this way:

"Bipartisanship" has been a keyword in many of Pelosi's speeches. In an address she delivered in 2002, for instance, she remarked, "We must stand together in a bipartisan way to fight the war against terrorism." Though she supported the Clinton Administration's military actions in Haiti, Kosovo, and Bosnia, she has denounced both the 1991 and 2003 wars in Iraq. Pelosi has also opposed President George W. Bush on most issues of Homeland Security, and has most recently joined the ACLU's crusade to limit the powers of the Patriot Act.

Hypocrisy anyone?

"The point is this isn’t a war to win..."

I'd be curious to find out what type of war this woman thinks America should win.

[TomGuy]

Until wars are fought with the mindset of reducing the enemy until the capitulate, regardless of the amount of blood spilled, this is all a waste of time.

Not quite. There is a dirty little secret about wars. They can be very profitable to certain non-governmental entities who have connections to those people in political power. And certain entities have profited greatly from the current wars.

Good morning.
"The only way this woman is going to change her mind is when AlQaida exterminates her home district."

Not even then. She would be safe in DC and, well, too bad for her constituents but it's Bush's fault after all.

The only way this woman is going to change her mind is when AlQaida exterminates her home district.Nah! She will find a way to exploit the situation.

[khnyny]

Maybe having Pelosi as the first female Speaker of the House is a strategy to soften up America for more female "leadership". We'll see how that works out, lol. I have my doubts.

[e_castillo]

Thanks Col. Bob. Too bad GW couldn't have said it in the same terms instead of PC garbage.

[Gondring]

And the way our system works, people couldn't vote any displeasure with our president's administration--so it hit the Congress, allowing President Bush to do even more of what gets people upset (spending, amnesty, etc.)

[lentulusgracchus]

And we LOST TO THESE IDIOTS?

Makes you wonder why the GOP didn't try to exercise any discipline on e.g. Sen. Conrad Burns for his malaprops and taking all that money from Abramoff.

Seems to me that Cheney, Rove, and Frist should have been spending a significant chunk of their quality time slapping some sense into people like Burns and George Allen.

So much was riding on what those guys were doing and saying.....there was no room for error, no room for them to shoot their mouths off.

And we could have done a better job of sustaining Sen. Santorum, too.

[Mo1]

You are a fool

"After 3.5 years we're still an escort service for the Iraqi's"

So true.

And this country seems to have adopted the the first rule of fighting a PC war, and that is to quote:

"It's not whether you win or lose a war,

It's how you fight the war that counts."

[Youngman442002]

Here home State is a big target.....San Fran is one also....it could ruin the real estate market there with a bunch of radiation....

[Mo1]

I don't wish for one and never would .. but I do fear we will get another one with the Dems in control

[ZULU]

She's a daft loon.

[DarthVader]

You bet. Stupid people voted for stupid people.

[ZULU]

I don't know.

If Bush and Cheney are impeached, this old hag takes over.

Then she and Hilary get in a catfight over the nomination and wreck the Democrat Party easing the chances of a Republican victory in 2008.

[TomGuy]

Oh I don't disagree. And while the Republicans certainly deserved to get "fired." The problem is that normally when you fire somebody you have somebody better to replace them with, and that is not the case here.

And that is a reason to keep an incompetent in power?

That is the same philosophy Rove and the GOP leadership had: Screw the base. They aren't going anywhere else anyway.

[Wrong, Rove and GOP, they did--and they left a sign: Gone Fishing!.]

Col. Bob,


Nancy Pelosi was interviewed on Fox Report tonight and asked what her plan for victory in Iraq would look like. After a few seconds of stammering, the obvious awkward moment ended. Here's Nancy Pelosi on defining victory in Iraq:

Sheese ... I hope that John "The Traitor" McCain is happy now ... as well as all those "Democratic Christians" ... "Bush Isn't Perfect" Republicans ... and of course, the "enlightened" Libertarians ...


On the other hand, the Democrats MAY ACTUALLY have enough sense (i.e. Hillary's mandate that they NOT screw-up her 2008 Presidential Campaign) that Pelosi isn't elected Speaker of the House.


Does anyone here think that the Clinton's collected FBI files on JUST Republicans ? Hardly.


I predict that Pelosi won't be elected Speaker of the House ... Hillary's first quiet "internal purge" of the new 2008 Clintonian Democratic Party ...

The fact is that a party that tries to identify itself as a conservative party kind of has a Catch-22 problem.

Conservatives tend to have a natural disdain for government, and so few conservatives really are interested in pursuing political office in the first place. They would rather be out in the private sector. So what are you stuck with? Mostly opportunists who know how to say the right things to get elected. They talk the talk, but they don't walk the walk.

Reagan was an exception, it was his passion and that's what drove him. You just don't see that kind of passion about conservatism from today's Republican politicians.

[jsmaineconservative]

I'm really hoping that Pelosi actually attemps to play nice with the President. Beacuse that will drive the left wing lunatics cray. Look at posts here about conyers saying impeachment is off the table. They're losing what little of their minds they have left. Which means in 2008 they may not put money into a party that isn't doing their bidding. And Hillary is going to have to run to the left to win the nomination. Which hurts her in the general election.
Newt said something on Hannity yesterday that was encouraging. There may be 54 'blue-dog' democrats that the GOP can work with to get things done. This will not please the liberal base.

[muawiyah]

She won't be safe in DC. AlQaid tried but failed which means they will be back.

In fact, her office is probably very near their intended ground zero.

Bad time to be a Congressman and have to work on Capitol Hill.
