Yesterday Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi vented her cynical and probably accurate opinions of President Bush's "Iraqi surge" plans on ABC's " Good Morning America".
Among other barbs and direct attacks she said,"..the president has to answer for his war. He has dug a hole so deep he can't even see the light. It's a tradgedy. It's a stark blunder." Also she said, " The president knows that because the troops are in harm's way that we [ congress ] won't cut off the resources. That's why he's moving so quickly to put them in harm's way."
Brava! No mincing there. No respect to a president who has no respect for most everything. Nancy Pelosi's attacks on George Bush will become legend. Hopefully she will embolden others to speak out forcefully and fearlessly to other abusers of power in our government. If her convictions and strength can be harnessed to government reforms and policies that rely on market-oriented and individual responsibility, then she will go a long way.
Nancy Pelosi is starting out to be the voice of authority that our bratty, moronic president never had and now needs. She is the quasi - mother figure who tells Georgie to clean up his Iraqi sand box and put his harmful toys away.
