Washington, D.C. Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement today after Senate Republicans blocked consideration of a Democratic bill that would change the direction of the Presidents failed Iraq policy by requiring the orderly redeployment of our troops while providing them with the resources they need:
"Once again, the Republican minority in the Senate has blocked the will of the majority of the American people and the Congress.
"Congressional Republicans' stubborn refusal to hold the President accountable for his failed Iraq policy is delaying needed funding for our troops and obstructing a New Direction strategy that will bring them home responsibly, honorably, safely and soon.
The New Direction Congress has provided our troops with all of the tools they need and a sound strategy to bring them home. Democrats will ensure that our troops have the resources they require, but we refuse to provide the President a blank check for his 10-year war, $2 trillion war in Iraq.
Nancy Pelosi is NUTS!
She is such a loser.
