Pelosi Calls Bush to Complain of Cheney's Comments on Democrats' Iraq Strategy
Wednesday, February 21, 2007
WASHINGTON —
... Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday phoned President Bush to air her complaints over Vice President Dick Cheney's comments that the Congressional Democrats' plan for Iraq would "validate the Al Qaeda strategy."

"You cannot say as the president of the United States, 'I welcome disagreement in a time of war,' and then have the vice president.. go out of the country and mischaracterize a position of the speaker of the House and in a manner that says that person in that position of authority is acting against the national security of our country," the speaker said.
The quarrel began in Tokyo, where Cheney used an interview to criticize Pelosi and Rep. John Murtha...

"I think if we were to do what Speaker Pelosi and Congressman Murtha are suggesting, all we will do is validate the Al Qaeda strategy," the vice president told ABC News. "The Al Qaeda strategy is to break the will of the American people ... try to persuade us to throw in the towel and come home, and then they win because we quit."
Pelosi, at a news conference in San Francisco, said Cheney's criticism of Democrats was "beneath the dignity of the debate we're engaged in and a disservice to our men and women in uniform, whom we all support."
"And you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to call the president and tell him I disapprove of what the vice president said," Pelosi said. "It has no place in our debate." Bush had previously urged her to call him when a member of his administration stepped over the line by questioning Democrats' patriotism, she said....

Like I need her telling me about "the dignity of debate".
Oh, and about "the culture of corruption".
Right.
What a whiner. I hate to state the obvious, but she cries like a little girl.
Surrenderers, all of the Democrat-icks are SURRENDERERS!!! They ONLY know how to fight Republicans!
Nancy,
It comes under the old "If it walks like a duck..." rule.
Speaking of rules: Never trust a skinny Italian Grandma.
Thank you, Mr. VP for telling the truth.
Oh, you mean like opposing a war in the middle of it? These treasonous sob's should be held accountable. They are going out of their way to aid the enemy.
If this isn't about politics, why are the debates about the war open, and not closed sessions? If the Dems truly supported our troops (and weren't rooting against them), the "debates" would occur during closed sessions.
The issue of Iraq has been clearly made political by the Dems in order to regain power. Outrageous at best.....IMHO, treasonous at worst.
I can't think of anything more childish than calling the president to complain about the vice president.
Nancy: STFU
NaNa NaNa NaaNaa
What a crybaby.
wonder if he defended cheney?
Put some ice on it, Nancy. there might even be a little on your non-757 private jet.
Good question.
LMAO.
Hey Nancy, bite me. Not only is it FAIR, it is CORRECT. Now about that tuna thing....
I cannot believe he would take her call on such a non-issue. Am I going to be mad at the stay at home voters for two years that gave us this tripe?
