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.
She must be practically to China by now.

Yeah, I bet she’d like to “move forward.” READ: Trying to make this go away.
The pig issued a statement today saying that she wasn’t referring to our wonderful awesome CIA, but to the Bush administration.
Good grief. No doubt tomorrow’s NYSlimes will have another expose on how to cook pot pies.
What a sterling example of Democrat Party judgment it was to put her in that position.
And that wasn't important for the last 8 years?
Libs are certain that extensive, detail notes kept by Bob Graham will back everything Pelosi has said. We’ll see.
He said...she said...he said...she said....
Yep....BUSH’S FAULT. Bottom line.
They could NEVER take responsibility themselves. No WAY!
This is like an ongoing soap opera....like "As Her World Burns"......or maybe "General Mental Hospital".

It is amazing that this woman is the House Speaker and is in line to the Presidency. She is as incompetent as anyone I have seen in Congress. The truth will eventually come out to show that she is the liar. Of course lying, stealing, corruption, and gross ineptitude is a requirement to be in the leadership of the Democratic (Socialist) party. She has done nothing but embarrass herself in her attempt to blame Bush.

I doubt it as well. The CIA was badly burned in the 70’s by anti-CIA Democrats. It’s a self-protecting bureacracy with a long memory. They know that lying about marginal tactics would get them nailed again by the same people. I guarantee that Democrats (especially) were fully briefed on everything controversial, just so they could not pull the crap that Pelosi is trying to pull.
When you have a Agency Director like Panetta say to a House Speaker, in effect, go F yourself, Bring It On, the CIA must think they are in an impregnable position.
As for Pelosi, open mouth, insert Manolo Blahnik. I think we will be looking at Speaker Hoyer before this is over.
What is that thing?
The CIA is the same CIA pre-Bush and post-Bush.
She can not make the claim that “Bush's” CIA mislead her but “Obama’s” CIA will not. Leon Panetta (a “Clinton” person) should continue to defend the country.
The can be a left and right, but there is also a moral imperative, and thank God, Panetta has found it.
The Bitch sure can lie, can’t she?
Strange, Bizarro world where I find myself defending a Clintonite like Panetta, but he is correct. I’ve gotta hand it to ‘em
Pelosi’s lying mouth is so far up her ass that a team of proctologists with a backhoe couldn’t get it out.
