Pelosi: 'No Matter What Slogans Are Used to Describe it, the President's Iraq Policy Has Been a Failure'

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on the Administration's announcement that there will be no major shifts in U.S. policy in
Iraq:

"The President's decision to ban the 'stay the course' slogan is meaningless unless it is accompanied by a change in the 'stay the course' strategy.

"General Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, confirmed this morning that staying the course - no matter what slogan this Administration chooses to attach to it - means it will be another 12 to 18 months before the Iraqis will be able to provide security for their country. With the war in Iraq now more than three and a half years old, Iraq engulfed in chaos, and U.S. casualties continuing to mount, this is simply unacceptable.

"No matter what slogans are used to describe it, the President's Iraq policy has been a dismal failure. It is long past time for a new direction in Iraq."

4. It's simple really

The DEMS NEED to demand that Bush Produce a "PATH TO VICTORY" Stating every step to end the Problems and what the end result will be.

About time the Dems REVERSE this "Dems don't have a Plan" bullshit, and CALL the REPIGS on it.

Dear Mr Bush, PROVE IT. :)

5. "Stay the course bush"

is imbedded in the lexicon.
