Pelosi slammed Hunter's proposal minutes before she voted with the Republican majority. LEFTY HYPOCRISY: Nancy Pelosi: Pro-Troop Vote 'a Disgrace' newsmax.com ^ \| Saturday, Nov. 19, 2005 10:54 a.m. EST Saturday, Nov. 19, 2005 10:54 a.m. EST Nancy Pelosi: Pro-Troop Vote 'a Disgrace' Anti-war House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is blasting last night's 403 to 3 House vote in support of U.S. troops and their mission in Iraq, calling it "a disgrace." Complaining that House Republicans had engaged in a "deception" by calling for a last minute vote on the Iraq war, the San Francisco Democrat said the pro-troop resolution was "a disservice to our country." Pelosi said that the "Republican majority has stooped to a new low" by forcing Democrats to go on the record against an immediate pullout. Her California colleague, House Armed Services Committee chairman, Rep. Duncan Hunter, wrote the resolution, which asked whether members thought "that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately." "We're going to let every member answer that, and I hope the message that goes back to our troops in Iraq is that we do not support a precipitous pullout," Hunter said. Pelosi slammed Hunter's proposal as "a political stunt and should it be rejected by this House" - minutes before she voted with the Republican majority.

Murtha and Kerry should compromise then we should all get behind that plan. I'm sure 80% of Americans could agree on that gradual pull-out within one year. The difference between Murtha and Kerry's plans is probably six months, so not a huge deal, which is what many Republicans agree with anyway. Also, our army and Marines are so over-taxed now we almost have to withdraw by then. Our recruiting is going terribly and those troops and that money is needed back home. Only rightwing Bushies will be unhappy with this, but screw them, they're the dishonest jerks who got us into this mess and ran the war without realistic concern to begin with. They had their chance and blew it. No confidence in them anymore. All these rightwing congressmen complaining are the ones who are not going to be re-elected next year. Mark my words. Deny Hastert is going down now too.
