It is so obvious--if the WH denies something, we can assure it is the truth.

(11,886 posts)He them "leaked" their commercial travel plans. I really think he was hoping they would go and their plane would been shot down or there delegation would be met on the ground with fire power.
He was endangering their lives and the lives of the delegation on the ground that would have been there to meet them.

The fact that they would leak that we were flying commercial is a danger not only to us but to other people flying commercially. Its very irresponsible on the part of the President.
Well go again. Well go another time. This would have been my ninth trip. One of my colleagues, it was his fifteenth trip, but weve been many times to see what the needs are of our men and women in uniform, honor those needs and thank those troops.
Q: How do you know the leak came from the White House? The White House has denied the leak came from them.
Speaker Pelosi. I rest my case.
Q: Do you view this as retaliation for your letter?
Speaker Pelosi. I would hope not. I dont think the President would be that petty, do you?
