Pelosi comments draw White House ire

WASHINGTON - In a critique the White House labeled as "poisonous," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record) charged Friday that President Bush is wading too deeply into Iraq and said it should not be "an obligation of the American people in perpetuity."

Pelosi said Bush "has dug a hole so deep he can't even see the light on this. It's a tragedy. It's a stark blunder."

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino retorted that Pelosi's comments were "poisonous," referring to the portion of Pelosi's statement that asserted Bush is rushing new troops there and betting that Congress won't cut off funds once they're in battle.

"It's certainly not in keeping with the bipartisan spirit and civility that the Democrats pledged and that we looked forward to," Perino said. "Speaker Pelosi was arguing in essence that the president is putting young men and women in harm's way for tactical political reasons. She's questioning his motivations rather than questioning his policies."

:thumbsup:

Now isn't that the very definition of the act of war? How obtuse can you get?

Going to be a long two years huh?

before 06. Now STFU.

No sh**, Sherlock.

Pelosi didn't question Bush's MOTIVES. She questioned his ability to even choose a good policy.

Motive - let 9-11 happen. Motive - lie about WMD. Dana you are nothing but a slut who will have to depend on other republican sluts for employment the rest of your life.

There is none that Bushco wants public. Ray McGovern said so in his article today. Fugg Bushco - forget the surge and purge the WH.

Walk the walk, Nancy. Then you'll get my respect.

they'd best get used to it . . .

The Republicans have set the standards, have they not? For six years, we've seen how they've "reached across the aisle" in a bipartisan manner to work with the Democrats, right?

BULLSHIT.

To the GOP/Bush Gestapo, bipartisanship means, "Here's the way we are going to do this. You're either with us, or you're against us."

The precedent has been set, the GOP made their bed, now they have to lie in it.

News flash, buddy.

What? Isnt this exactly what Hadley said on MEET THE PRESS THIS PAST SUNDAY? They are betting on the fact the Democrats will continue to fund, once these troops are in harm's way.

Pelosi did not say anything new, folks.


Pelosi's statement that asserted Bush is rushing new troops there and betting that Congress won't cut off funds once they're in battle.

The funds for this Surge is already in the budget So they cant stop the funding they can
only stop it when Bush ask for more money and they can make him tell where every penny is
going .

"Will you now call for a discontinuation of funding of the permanent military bases the US is building in Iraq."

See that weasly fascist sleaze answer that!

We all know what the psycho's motives are, why would Pelosi not question them?:grr:

I'm sure Nancy is all a flutter...

that Republicks can kiss both my right and left ass cheek.

Bush** could be seen as the "murcan commander in chief", thus getting more votes in '04. So 'murcans would wave the flags and put the goddam ribbons and "W"s on their goddam cars and trucks.

...by claiming the Dems were encouraging terrorists by opposing his surge?

Sounds like the WH can dish it out but can't take it.

They say....oh she is helping Al-Kida with her comments....blah blah blah
