43. Walk, Run, Fly...
Complicit in slaught? Are you saying she advocated this war? That she voted for all the resolutions leading up to this folly? That she's profited from this war? Let's get a grip here.

Yes, she's voted for the funding, but after the horse has left the barn...forced into the weak position of not appearing to be weak on "terrorism" and national defense and not supporting the military...two highly political issues, and we're dealing with politics here. She'd had to play with a deck stacked against her and take what few opportunities she has to turn the tables and put some breaks on this regime...and you're going to chop her legs out from underneath?

I'm no big Pelosi fan. I see her reacting rather than acting and leading...but I see this protest as an effort to embarass her in a way that can fuel the right wing propaganda machines and distracting from the major message that has to be delivered in Washington...American are united against this invasion. If Pelosi and others see a million people all speaking up against the war...just like a million marched strictly for civil rights or against Vietnam, then it emoldens the party's leaders.

Disagree with her position but do so in the proper perspective.

Peace...
