Nancy Bodya Shows ‘Em How to Surrender By Patrick Hynes on War On Terror Ankle Biting Pundits As you may know, Iraq isn’t going quite as badly as our friends on the Left would like it to. Most of them would just as soon up and quit the war and cede that region to the terrorists. But freshman Rep. Nancy Bodya (D-KS) is leading her colleagues by example. According to the transcript of the July 27th House Armed Services Committee hearing, Rep. Bodya just up and walked out of the committee room because retired Army General Jack Keane was allowed to profile some of the positive stories coming out of that long-suffering part of the world. <<< And I just will make some statements more for the record based on what I heard from — mainly from General Keane. As many of us — there was only so much that you could take until we in fact had to leave the room for a while. So I think I am back and maybe can articulate some things — after so much of the frustration of having to listen to what we listened to. But let me first just say that the description of Iraq as in some way or another that it’s a place that I might take the family for a vacation — things are going so well — those kinds of comments will in fact show up in the media and further divide this country instead of saying, here’s the reality of the problem. And people, we have to come together and deal with the reality of this issue. >>> I would like to know who the other walk-outs were. I hope our brave fighting men and women know that Rep. Bodya does not speak for the vast majority of Americans who would never walk out on them. anklebitingpundits.com nytimes.com
