Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on conflicting news reports about the intentions of the White House and General David Petraeus to withdraw one brigade next year or to maintain the current troop level in Iraq.  Below her statement is a fact sheet on Iraq’s high level of violence and lack of political reconciliation:

“Recent reports – the National Intelligence Estimate, and the GAO and Jones Commission reports – all document the widespread failure of the Iraqi government to meet critical political reform benchmarks set by President Bush himself in January.

“The stay-the-course strategy by General Petraeus and the President to leave all troops in Iraq has been rejected by the American people. 

“We need a new direction in Iraq that will protect our troops, promote stability in the region, and make America more secure.”

That stupid ninny needs to get down on her knees every night and thank God those soldiers are in Iraq.

"The stay-the-course strategy by General Petraeus and the President to leave all troops in Iraq has been rejected by the American people. We need a new direction in Iraq that will protect our troops, promote stability in the region, and make America more secure."

Osama bin Laden should slap her with a plagiarism lawsuit.

Recent reports – the National Intelligence Estimate, and the GAO and Jones Commission reports – all document the widespread failure of the Iraqi government to meet critical political reform benchmarks set by President Bush himself in January.

Interestingly, recent reports also all document the widespread failure of the Democrat-infested US Congress to meet critical benchmarks set by the Constitution. Clearly we need to clean out that infestation by voting Commie traitors like Pelosi out of the next congress (well, I can dream, can't I? But knowing her district, they are likely to vote her back in or replace her with that other California kook)...

Pelosi is saying pretty much the same thing Bin Ladin is saying on the new tape. coincidence?

[freekitty]

No that viper goes to Iraq instead and no telling what she said while she was there.

[mimaw]

The bitch should do the honorable thing as has been done by others when they disgraced the nation and themselves.

[Candor7]

Nancy Pelosi!

PULL MY FINGER! NOW.

[counterpunch]

When is Pelosi going to get it through her shriveled head that she has no power over Bush on Iraq short of starving the troops out of Iraq?

The Surge is Working and Do Nothing Nancy Is Not

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

just spewed Fat Tire on my new laptop..........

[The Forgotten Man]

Pelosi is a failure and has nothing to show as speaker that has been good for America....

[G8 Diplomat]

Let’s see...54% of Americans support the war in Iraq

11% of Americans support the job Congress has done.

Hmmm...I wonder who’s more credible, Petraeus or Pelosi?

Isn’t she a tower of strength and leadership — with approval ratings at the lowest in recorded history?

She’s pitiful — which means I should feel pity for her. I can’t bring myself to it — loathing fits better.

Time for Pelosi to step down. Has failed to deliver and her predictable babble is sickening.
