When will the dems force Pelosi to resign ? WASHINGTON (AP)—House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she was not complicit in the government's decision to waterboard terrorist suspects. The California Democrat says she was informed that senior lawmakers had been briefed on the use of the method in 2003. But she says the CIA misled her earlier about the techniques. In a 2002 briefing, officials said they had legal opinions saying that harsh interrogation techniques could be used. Pelosi said the only mention of waterboarding at that meeting was that it was not being employed.

Oh bull shit. We were flying a few flights... big deal, less than practice runs at a typical US Air Force base. The military loves little stuff like that, keeps them in practice. I don't think they liked it when some F15s killed 26 US personnel in a friendly-fire incident -- a hazard in any military operation -- no matter how much the Left tries to trivialize a few American deaths. In December'98, under Clinton, Saddam loudly declared the NFZs were no longer respected and offered compensation to anyone who could shoot down an American plane. No, it never happened, but once again, you trivialize the service of our military personnel who are putting their lives at risk daily. Your lack of understanding of this subject matter is astounding given your frequent commentary. It is no different from your absurd remarks concerning health care, another area you are beyond ignorant about. Frankly, I'm still trying to find a subject you seem to know anything about.

"Then WTF did you think of the war with people drilling holes in peoples knees and heads before they slowly killed them?" I think going to war with people who do that is noble. I'd prefer to live in my peaceful temple tending my organic garden, to dealing with any conflict. But if you are going to bring your drill to the party, be prepared for me to take whatever stance I need to take to stop you. Saddam was one of those drill types btw and he had a regime (and people like you) backing him.
