Press Releases Contact: Brendan Daly/Nadeam Elshami 202-226-7616 For Immediate Release 05/09/2007 Pelosi on Iraq Veto Threat: ‘President Has Again Chosen Confrontation Over Cooperation’
Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement today following news reports that the President is threatening to veto the revised Iraq Accountability Act that the House will vote on this week:
“With this latest veto threat, the President has once again chosen confrontation over cooperation. For four years, the President has refused to pay for this war responsibly, and it is his veto of the Iraq Accountability Act – which gave him more than he asked for – that brings us to this point today.
“Even as the Congress addresses some of the White House’s concerns, the President waves his veto pen at any proposal that does not give him a blank check for a war without end in Iraq.
“The President refuses to listen to the American people who want this war to end. Instead, what they’re getting from the President is further escalation of the war: maintaining an additional 35,000 troops, lengthened deployments, and expanded troop levels until at least April 2008.
“Our bill will fully fund the troops, honor our commitment to our veterans, hold the Iraqi government accountable and end the war. The President’s only response to our good faith efforts is another veto threat.”
I have a message for Pe-lousy from a military family:
STFU and fund our troops!!!

You beat me to it!
To be scolded by some loon liberal botox rich b@tch from SF should sit nicely with a Texan right men?
Keep it up Nancy!
Keep talking, Nazi Pelozi. Keep turning America against you. Guess you haven’t seen the latest polls.
What a liar!
Ha! President Bush refuses to be assimilated and it’s making poor little nancy borg cry.

I think the same headline could read, “House Has Again Chosen Confrontation Over Cooperation”
“That ol’ meanie President Bush won’t quit this Iraq war thing without winning, and he’s making me just stomp my feet and go, ‘Waaaaaaaaa, waaaaaaaaaaa, waaaaaaaaaaa!”
Once again Nazi Pelosi has chosen Anti-Americanism over America. Nazi Pelosi has chosen to undermine our troops rather than support them. Nazi Pelosi has chosen the dark side, and sold her worthless soul to the devil.
The President does not have to do whatever the witch says. Saying I didn’t like her would be an understatement. She’s a poisonous snake-woman.
The Dems are the ones who are putting these stick-in-the-eye provisions into the bills, and are hoping to ram them through. How in hell does she think Bush is going to respond?
I think there might be a typo in the headline:
Pelosi on Iraq Veto Threat: ‘President Has Again Chosen Confrontation Over Cooperation’
I think she meant the last word to be Capitulation.
:-)
Can we sue Congress for not doing their job? Seems they are paid by us taxpayers to pass legislation. They need to either pass a funding bill, or pass a bill defunding the war.
This BS political posturing needs to stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
POTUS to Nasty Pelosi and Dirty Harry Reid: Your party has chosen capitulation to our enemies over confrontation against our enemies.
God bless the President and our troops!
You’d think with all that money, the surgons could have done a better job on LaGosi but, maybe they just did the best they could with what they had to work with.
