Pelosi Blames America First
House Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told reporters on Wednesday that she feels it is “sad” that President Bush continues to blame Iraqi insurgent violence on al Qaeda.
“My thoughts on the president’s representations are well-known,” Pelosi said. “The 9/11 Commission dismissed that notion a long time ago and I feel sad that the president is resorting to it again.”
ALLAHPUNDIT says:
“If it’s not al Qaeda’s fault that they are killing soldiers and innocent civilians, then who should be blamed? Bush? U.S. Soldiers? America?”
Rightlinx asks: “Does our new Speaker honestly believe that there is no Al Qaeda presence in Iraq? ” and links to this:
The report describes Al-Qaeda in Iraq as the “dominate organization of influence” in the province, more important than local authorities, the Iraqi government and US troops “in its ability to control the day-to-day life of the average Sunni.”

Yup, this is what happens when you put dems in charge.
9/11 Commission report was incomplete. Crucial things were left out.
Jamie Gorelick should have recused herself.
And on and on.
I can’t believe these fucking creeps are going to be in charge of my security as a U.S. citizen. Geesh.

I love the fact that al Qaeda tells everyone and anyone that they are there…but somehow Pelosi missed the memo!:razz:

Exactly, I mean wtf is this woman thinking? It’s just too stupid to even get your mind around and all the more reason why we should fear the democrats being in charge of foreign policy. They are obviously not listening.
In today’s world thats a very scary thing.

1.
You have a great point. IMO, the repression of Able Danger goes a long way as an indicatir to back up what you say.
I smell back room deals made between the Dems and the Reps.

Ted, I forgot Able Danger. It’s getting late but now that you mention it I thought it was the single most significant item left out of the report. Given that it places blame directly on Clintons shoulders shows more of a culture of corruption these people say they are moving past than almost anything else they’ve done.
As far as I’m concerned I waited all during the 90’s for our government to start doing something about these terrorist attacks. When 9/11 happened I was livid and this bitch talking the trash she’s talking is exactly why I was so pissed.
You know, I think I still am

Leave it to the DIMBULBCRATS to lay the blame on someone else is that why they get so much support from trial lawyers?:razz:

Yeah, how absurd that some are still blaming Al Qaeda for violence in Iraq! That’s about as wrong as blaming Radical Islam for terrorism, or blaming that Al Zarqawi fellow for beheadings! Or blaming Bin Laden for 9/11!!! Nancy you are so perceptive! You speak for and represent the true conscience and intelligence of the Democrite Party!
The next two years are going to a hoot with this bunch of freaks in charge of Congress. There’ll be gridlock thankfully (with a Republican President) and the Democrites will just remind everyone why they can neither be relied on nor trusted to steward the Nation. My prediction: They’ll crash and burn. 2008 will see the rise of Conservatism again, with a solid mandate.

I hope you are right Robert. I don’t know if I could sleep at night with those idiots running the show. Let’s just hope 2008 sees alot more moderation and maybe even a Republican president.

“They’ll crash and burn. 2008 will see the rise of Conservatism again, with a solid mandate.”
LOL…no.
It’s pretty much over for your team for a good decade or so.
You blew it.

9. I wouldn’t say it’s over SF. I think conservatism is very much alive and well in this country and the overspending republicans were being taught a lesson. Not a bad thing in the overall but it should make the dems very careful to not fall in the same pit. And I don’t see that happening. They are already sitting back like a snake in the grass eyeing their prey waiting to suck all the money they can from the working poor and middle class.
I’ve been there, done that, had enough thank you very much.
As for losing the election anyway, I sometimes think the democrats finally got the vote fraud correct. After all we didn’t exactly see them out en masse protesting voter fraud and stolen elections, blah, blah, blah. They just may have got it right this time.
