| Pelosi Statement on President BushÂ’s Speech at UN | |
| 2006-09-20 | |
Washington, D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on President Bush’s speech at the United Nations in New York:“It is one thing to give a speech about promoting peace, freedom, and democracy in broad, general terms as President Bush did at the United Nations today. It is another to commit to doing the hard work of diplomacy on a daily basis to resolve matters such as Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Syria’s support for Hezbollah, and the issues that divide Israelis and Palestinians.

| #15 Yes, diplomatic engagement. Just like the brutally effective variety used in the Darfur thingy. |

| #14 it would end up: he screwed three minks, stabbed 5 in the back, and lied to the rest, saying he would help free them for a fee..... |

| #13 Shhhhhhh, DD. She's hoping no one will make the connection from her past verbal spews that she APPROVES OF and AGREES WITH both speeches. |

| #12 Her comments on Ahmanutjob's speech? Her comments on Chavez's speech? Still waiting. |

| #10 There will be hell to pay for the speech writers who didn’t insert the phrase “New Direction” into her prepared speech. |

| #9 Polls taken after her statement show Pelosi least likely to become Speaker of the House. She will, no doubt, retain the position of Nagging Bitch. |

| #8 "...sustained diplomatic engagement with our allies..." What is with these people???? Just what do they think that the Euros have been doing with Iran for the last 3-4 years???? Like Chirac, Pelosi thinks sustained and infinite are synonyms. Shit or get off the pot seems to be an alien concept to them. |

| #7 Actually, for a Democrat, it's remarkably restrained. I'd half expected her to go full-DU on us and call for the Security Council to impose sanctions on mankind's real enemy, the Bushitler regime. |

| #6 Yeah, Ahmadinejad is really open to diplomacy. |

| #5 So why not appoint Nancy as Ambassador to Iraq? Unless Jimmy wants it, of course. |

| #4 Sure thing, honey. It's real easy to do the "hard work of diplomacy on a daily basis" when the other side refuses to talk, walks out on talks, and just flat out lies. And I thought Reid was the stupid one in the Democrat party....sheesh. |

| #3 “The President’s words need to be matched by sustained diplomatic engagement with our allies, and directly with our adversaries when necessary Big clue: "[D]iplomatic engagement" does not fucking work, that is, unless you want to play an endless game of circle jerk. See Iran if you have any doubts. The only productive way of dealing "directly with our adversaries" has been to go in and kick their Islamic ass until it bleeds. Any questions? |

| #2 I'll bet she has a "plan", a "better way". All very non-specific, of course... Except for that Iraq cut 'n run thing - they're sorta pat on the idea, just not on the timetable - each asshole has a different notion of when they'd like it to fail. But all in all, undoubtedly all of the Dhimmi ideas are superior, just a bit fuzzy on the details, costs, and that logic stuff. All Hail Speaker Pelosi! I can hardly wait nor contain myself! |

| #1 If Pelosi spewed it, I can give you my reaction without even reading it: Yadda yadda yadda. |
