Nancy Pelosi Versus George Bush

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.

Preemptive Wars Should Be Lost

Almost 4 years have passed since the invasion of Iraq. The unilateral descisions taken by Bush were a breach of U.N. protocols. Since the invasion, facts have emerged to substantiate the charge made by many that Bush's reasons and charges against Saddam Hussein,WMD, al-Qaeda connection, have been exposed as false and even fraudulently constructed.

In any circumstance, the war was and is a preemptive war. Also the policy of preemptive war initiated by Bush still exists in the U.S. . America should not have this policy. America should not win preemptive wars nor should any other aggressor nations, because that will only invite more war.
