#1 There is nothing under the sun that Democrats won't say or deny to get power, and nothing that Republicans can do that won't be criticised in some fashion. This woman is living proof of the worthlessness of McCain reaching across the aisle. She woukld sacrifice American resolve and reputation in the world in a second for advantage, and she has no idea how to actually deal with the barbarians that surround us. Like most of her ilk, she thinks they are just like her, just charmingly different in only superficial ways. When confronted with repeated proofs that they are not, she simply fails to comprehend......

#2 Geeze... they are so desperate to stay in power and do anything to oppose Bush that they will do pure treason and sedition.

Against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

#3 I could see how some people might take her seriously -- she IS an expert in failure.

#4 But they deserve better than the policy of a war without end, a war that could be 20 years or longer. And Secretary Gates just testified in the last 24 hours to Congress that this next year in Iraq and Afghanistan are going to cost $170 billion.

This is the critical comment. She is conceding Osama's point that America is a paper tiger that can be defeated by simply out waiting it. Pelosi does not have the will to victory.

The American people have to have the alternatives and the choice made explicit. Victory with McCain, whenever, however or defeat with Obama/Clinton/Pelosi/Reid now and a new attack on America sooner or later. That is how McCain will have to frame the issue to win the election. If he does, it will go a long way to winning the war.

His failure to frame the war appropriately is one of Bush's great failings and one reason he has so little domestic support.

Nancy, you missed the history class about the US expansion across the continent that resulted in one or more conflicts with the ~~insurgents~~ natives that lasted nearly a century?
