'Pelosi responds to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's speech in which he said Iraq war critics are essentially like Nazi era appeasers:

What the Secretary must be forgetting is that what emboldens the enemy is sending our troops into the line of fire without the equipment they need to protect themselves and get the job done. What emboldens the enemy is sending them there without the military intelligence to get the job done. What emboldens the enemy is our lack of knowledge of the ground truth - or maybe we are in denial about what is actually happening there. Democrats are deadly serious about providing for the common defense and in order to do so, you must know your enemy. Clearly the Bush Administration did not when it went to Iraq. In order to protect the American people, you have to know your power. And we are diminishing that power by this war on Iraq. This is the wrong war. It is not the war on terror. We should have stayed in Afghanistan, with fuller force, longer to get the job done there.'

3. there'll be days when they catch her, but on balance she is very measured...

as she exudes a presence as though she has a sense of what is likely to trip out the mouth of her political opponent and i like that in her very much, hasn't been on exhibit in DC for some time imo :patriot:

I'm glad to see these as I usually gag at the BFEE propaganda media.
