For Nancy “let’s re-write history” Pelosi to try to feed the American public the idea that Bill Clinton, the most anti-military President in American History, was the benefactor of our military might, the military might that freed the Iraqi people, is to believe that the Iraqi people really liked Saddam Hussein. It’s ludicrous. The notion is laughable. In fact, Ms. Pelosi is so anti-military it can be said she is uniquely unqualified to comment on the matter at all, but that won’t stop her and I suppose it shouldn’t, given the right to free speech. With that being said, an interesting question is raised in issue. Why would she say such an amazingly stupid thing? Could it be that she is embarrassed to admit that she was wrong about the military action needed to remove Saddam Hussein? Possibly. Could it be that see is seeing that 81% of the American people now understand the atrocities inflicted on the Iraqi people by the now deposed heretic and approve of the action being taken? It might be. But what is most probable is that she is trying to spin herself out of the amazing cache of anti-Bush and anti-American statements she made prior to the military action in Iraq, all in the name of political survival. washingtondispatch.com
