Press Releases Contact: Brendan Daly/Nadeam Elshami 202-226-7616 For Immediate Release 05/15/2009 Pelosi Statement on Panetta Message to CIA Employees

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement today in response to a message today to CIA Employees from Director Leon Panetta:

“We all share great respect for the dedicated men and women of the intelligence community who are deeply committed to the safety and security of the American people. My criticism of the manner in which the Bush Administration did not appropriately inform Congress is separate from my respect for those in the intelligence community who work to keep our country safe. What is important now is to be united in our commitment to ensuring the security of our country; that, and how Congress exercises its oversight responsibilities, will continue to be my focus as we move forward.”

My criticism of the manner in which the Bush Administration

Nancy is trying to recover by bitterly clinging to the last ounce of Bush hatred among democrats and the media. Her attack was directed squarely at the CIA. This won't work. She should resign.

CIA is not a part of partisan politics. They provide an objective report for whichever party is in office.

Pelosi is seriously dismissive in her statement ... as if she hasn't told several whoppers this week in an attempt to weasel out of her predicament.

Time for her to resign or be dismissed as the House Speaker.

Note to Pelosi: "Oh! what a tangled web you weaved when first you chose to deceive."

GW didn’t appoint George Tenent the Director of the CIA during the time Pelosi had a mental blackout.

On Sept. 4, 2002, less than a year after 9/11, the CIA briefed Rep. Porter Goss, then House Intelligence Committee chairman, and Mrs. Pelosi, then the committee’s ranking Democrat, on EITs including water boarding. They were the first members of Congress to be informed.

So, who was the director of the CIA, from 9/11 to 2004?

George J. Tenet was the Director of CIA, from 1997–2004 .

Tenet was appointed by President Clinton and approved by Congress. Tenet then became the CIA director in August of 1997.

So, Pelosi is now saying that George Tenet lied to her or ordered his congressional briefers to lie to Nancy.

Why would you want her to resign? Keep her in place as the other face of the Democrat Party. If she goes, Steny Hoyer becomes Speaker and would seem so rational, it will only help the Dems in ‘10. Let her stay just where she is.

A good point. I would argue that the libtard control of all three branches of government places the nation's interest paramount. Steny Hoyer would be far more rational and less damaging to the Republic than Princess Nancy. At this time the Republic is virtually defenseless against the dim rabble that would destroy her. Anything that cuts back the super lunatics must be pursued. IMHO

Pravda will have the sheep lining up for the slaughter and when they finally see whats going on up ahead it will be too late, 20 years from now they will write in the history books of the demise of this once great nation and the theme will be with all the freedom and liberty that the citizens in the USA had how did they not see it coming?

...simple answer. While the facts are all there, KGB education (the nations Public HS system), in place since the 60's hid the facts! The Fact: in 1965, Chairman Mao announced to the world that he would win the hearts and minds of the agrarian cultures in Asia, Africa and South America, and divide and conquer the capitalist urban cultures of N. America and Europe. From '61-'64, Russia and China competed bitterly for those hearts and minds...in 1965, something happened, and the pinks went into overdrive. While you won't find it in history texts, History Channel played the Mao 1965 newsreel this week in 'Historys Classroom'....inescapable facts have been successfully revised to 'protect our children' don'tcha know!

Its a shame that here we have an agency that the president is in charge of, being derided by the speaker, and the president doesn’t say anything.

Now..she says the CIA staff is wonderful, the same staff that pretty much existed before, when they supposedly lied to her.

this woman is disturbing. Just goes to show you that any one can be elected.

Geez, Nancy, buy a clue - I'm sure the CIA would be willing to let this die if only you would STOP TALKING.

She's not even smart enough to play the DC insider game. How did we let someone like that into such a power position?

What, third in line to the WH after Biden and Shrillary? She was right about one thing ... elections have consequences.

Oh she is goiing down as SPEAKER all right - just a matter of time. Hoyer wants her gone, and I am sure the Zer0 has given the OK to take her out.
