Press Releases Contact: Brendan Daly 202-226-7616 For Immediate Release 05/01/2007 Pelosi: This Legislation Respects the Wishes of the American People to End the Iraq War
Washington, D.C. In an enrollment ceremony, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid joined in signing the Iraq Supplemental bill to be delivered to the White House today. Below are her opening remarks:
Good afternoon. Welcome back to the House side, Mr. Leader.
Mindful of our responsibility to the Constitution and to the American people, Im pleased to join in signing this Iraq legislation, which is so important to our national security. For the strong commitment to support our troops and to fill our promises to our veterans, this legislation honors the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform with benchmarks that hold the Iraqi government accountable. This legislation respects the wishes of the American people to end the Iraq war.
Im pleased to sign this legislation, which passed both Houses of Congress, with bipartisan support. I urge the President to sign the global war on terror supplemental, so that we can focus on fighting terrorism.
The H*ll it does!
She is just now getting around to signing it?
All President Bush has to say when he vetoes this garbage is,if Americans choose defeat in Iraq then they will elect a Democratic next President and that President wont even need a bill to retreat.
She had to learn how to read it first.
Mindful of our responsibility to the Constitution and to the American people, Im pleased to join in signing this Iraq legislation, which is so important to our national security.”
ROFL, that’s a good one. Can someone tell me how surrendering to people that want us good and dead is important/improves our national security??
This woman belongs in a freakin mental institution in a room with murtha on one side and reid on the other..maybe they can learn to do something useful, like weave baskets..
“This legislation respects the wishes of the American people to end the Iraq war.”
Bullsh*t
Bi-partisan support???? LOL. Two Reps in the House and two in the Senate. Three times more Dems voted against the bill than Reps for it.
Any pictures of the Democrat Surrender Ceremony?
If there’s so much support, Pelosi, why can’t y’all override a veto?
You speak for the cut and run panty wastes in this country, the enemy within, but not for me and many others you skanky nappy ho!...A pox on you!
The dems ran on “Makaka” And “Foley” and nothing else.
Was she shouting “Peace In Our Time!!”?
GrannyNanny is so, so stupid. One, it’s NOT the wish of the American people to LOSE this war, the way she thinks it should be lost, and, two, even if we wanted to “end” it, you can’t simply “end” a war without without victory unless you surrender to the enemy. She’s a power-mad nit, and I hope she’s damaging the Democrat Party beyond redemption. Better that than damaging our national security and our national credibility.
Ain't got one handy, so will this suffice instead...?
Any pictures of the Democrat Surrender Ceremony?
Can’t wait..’til 08....These people called Dems are
the most self-centered crowd...and the country will
be .tubeless and clkueless if they continue their
assinine way....JK
Excellent.
And what good timing.
