WASHINGTON – Under strong attack from Republicans, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused the CIA and Bush administration of misleading her about waterboarding detainees in the war on terror and sharply rebutted claims she was complicit in its use.
"To the contrary ... we were told explicitly that waterboarding was not being used," she told reporters, referring to a formal CIA briefing she received in the fall of 2002.
Pelosi said she subsequently learned that other lawmakers were told several months later by the CIA about the use of waterboarding.
"I wasn't briefed, I was informed that somebody else had been briefed about it," she said.

I really am enjoying watching “San Fran Nan” self destruct.
ROTFLMAO!
It’s never her fault. She’s perfect. She’s here to save the world. How dare we question Mrs. Pelosi?
Pelosi is the sunshine (laughs)in a gloomy day(Obama popularity). I truly love her, keep her on camera.

boooohooooooo! she was misled!
“I wasn’t briefed, I was informed that somebody else had been briefed about it,” she said.
Huh?......L.O.L.!
Kind of like Nancy being “misled” by Algore about “global warming.” Nancy is so damn gullible. Definitely not Speaker of the House material.
Steny is drooling,, Rangel is sharpening the pike,, Obama is uhh,, being uhh,, Obama.
So long, Nancy.
Either Ms Pelosi is a liar or she is too stupid to be in congress.
(OK, she is both)
she will not go down alone.

Beer and popcorn futures are up..
The check is in the mail!
Hehehe...sitting in the bleachers, sipping my soda and eating popcorn while the show begins.
There are a lot of Rats that would think nothing of throwing Nancy under the bus.
This whole Gitmo thing is starting to sink the Dems because when you start talking about releasing Islamic kook terrorists into American society, suddenly the Messiah's position doesn't look so "hopeful."
A former student, then a brother, but now ordained as a Catholic Priest, was assigned in his first gig to . . . Nancy’s district! He immediately called her out on abortion, IN PERSON, and said he’d never seen anyone who was so angry smile constantly, She couldn’t frown because of her surgery. (He also said that in his district, he has been spit on and had people just walking down the street curse at him.)
“There are a lot of Rats that would think nothing of throwing Nancy under the bus.”
What a lovely thought! You made my day! Just thinking about Nancy being put under the bus by her fellow Socialist DEMS is delightful!
Wonder how fast her eyes will blink on her way under the bus! They sure got a workout during her press conference as she stumbled, mumbled, winked and blinked herself into more lies as she READ her replies! When you have to READ your answers, something tells me they are lies!

- President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

- Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998
“He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983.” S

- Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998

- Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998
“Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies.”
- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999
“There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has invigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies.”
- Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, December 5, 2001
“We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandated of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them.”
- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002
“We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.”
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
“We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.”
- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002
“The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons...”
- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002
“I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force— if necessary— to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security.”
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002
“There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction.”
- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002
“He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do” Rep.
- Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002
“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weap ons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members .. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.”
- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
“We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction.”
- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002
“Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real ...”
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003
SO NOW THE DEMOCRATS SAY PRESIDENT BUSH LIED, THAT THERE NEVER WERE ANY WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND HE TOOK US TO WAR FOR HIS OIL BUDDIES???
