Pelosi: Baker Report Proves Bush Has Failed
Let the Spin Begin! Nancy Pelosi, the incoming Democratic speaker of the House, on Wednesday praised the Iraq Study Group's report on the Iraq war and said the report proves "that the President's Iraq policy has failed and must be changed."The Arabs have failed. Earlier, President Bush said the country "is tired of pure political bickering that happens in Washington." Bush said it's best for the country if Democrats and Republicans work together, and he expressed the hope that report "will give us all an opportunity to find common ground." Dream on, W. After blasting Bush's handling of the war, Pelosi pledged to work with him to end it. The war - or the sedition? "If the President is serious about the need for change in Iraq," she said in a statement, "he will find Democrats ready to work with him in a bipartisan fashion to find a way to end the war as quickly as possible." As quickly as possible. The ISG talks about 2008, at the very earliest. Will that be okay with Her Highness who couldn't be bothered to read the report before flapping gums to the press? Pelosi said Democrats "are committed to ensuring that the ideas of the Iraq Study Group, as well as the ideas of other thoughtful people inside and outside of the government, are given full consideration in that process." Is she gonna make up shit about the ISG report as she did with the 9/11 Report? Pelosi mentioned only one of the group's recommendations, which is to change the primary mission of U.S. troops in Iraq from combat to training and support. That's it. The Grand Plan of the DhimmiDonks. I wonder what the troops are supposed to do if attacked? What about if the Iraqi Trainees are attacked? "Now that the Study Group has endorsed this proposal," Pelosi said, "I hope that the President will recognize that he must take our policy in Iraq in a new direction." Like "Take a left at the Congressional Cafeteria?" Like that? She did not address the group's other recommendations, which include forming a "support group" among Iraq and its neighbors in Iran and Syria and beginning to withdraw troops from Iraq "by the first quarter of 2008." I didn't have time. I've been redecorating my new office. Don't spoil the ending for me. Posted by: .com 2006-12-07 |
