Press Releases Contact: Brendan Daly/Nadeam Elshami 202-226-7616 For Immediate Release 11/29/2007 Pelosi: Bush and His Republican Allies Are Preventing Extra Funds from Reaching Our Troops
Washington, D.C. — Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement today in response to President Bush’s remarks this afternoon at the Pentagon:
“Earlier this month, Congress approved nearly a half trillion dollars for the Department of Defense. Just two weeks ago, House Democrats passed $50 billion in additional funding for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. We have provided every penny that is currently necessary to fund Defense Department operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the world. It is President Bush and his Republican allies in the Senate who are preventing extra funds from reaching our troops.
“The President opposes the House bill because it requires our troops to be fully trained and fully equipped before they are deployed, establishes a goal of December 2008 for the completion of the redeployment of our forces from Iraq, and prohibits torture as an interrogation technique for the U.S. government.
“Rather than explain to the American people why he objects to those provisions, the President and Republican Senators have prevented the Senate from even considering the bill. Today at the Pentagon, the President spoke of the need for Congress to work together to ensure that our troops and their families have the support they need. In that spirit, I call upon the President to instruct Senate Republicans to stop blocking consideration of the House funding bill. It is their obstruction that is producing the uncertainty for our troops and their families that the President voiced concern about today.
“The President also spoke of the need to modernize our military. The single biggest obstacle to improving our military capabilities is the war in Iraq, which has plunged military readiness to levels not seen since the Vietnam War. Reducing the number of American troops in Iraq as called for in the House funding bill is essential if the military readiness crisis is to be resolved.
“Our brave men and women in uniform have done everything that has been asked of them in Iraq and Afghanistan. Democrats are committed to providing them everything they need to do their jobs and to care for their families.”
She’s like the proverbial kid who kills his parents and pleads for mercy from the court for being an orphan.
Once they started lying their way down that road they can’t stop.
“Democrats are committed to providing them everything they need to do their jobs and to care for their families.”....Hey there Pinocchio Pelosi, your nose is 8 feet long!
Pelosi is using the technique called “Projectioning.” It is a classic technique: “Acuse others of what you do”-Karl Marx.
Dems are starting to squirm.
Great!
Let’s see.......who has cost the troops the most....Bush...Pelosi.....Bush...Pelosi....hmmmm......I have to pick YOU Nan.
Redundant headline. :-)
The only thing she is good at is lieing.
In particular, Jack Murtha's district.
I remember my grandfather saying to me when i was young, “don’t cross your eyes, it might get stuck”. Well, my grandfather was right - somewhat. Pelosi has made so many stupid statements that she is now “stuck on stupid”.
don’t we have bases in frisco? bases in massachusetts? bases in nevada? let your imagination go wild, and think of the possibilities......this could actually be fun, and think of the outcry when their constituents start bitchin’ about it.....
She is a *unt!
LLS
It's a real BS statement on the Dems part and the media re co-conspiritors fro not calling "bullsheet". They keep telling us how they are the watch dogs. Neutered watch dogs...when it comes to the Dems who pat them on the head and say, "Nice doggies."
Stupid people don’t know they’re stupid......because they’re stupid.
Nancy Pelosi is either unaware of just how stupid she is, or she thinks the rest of us are all deaf, dumb, blind and stupider then she is.
Pelosi is cut from the same cloth the rest of the sorry politians comes from!! She just stands out more because she speaks more often and continues to remove all doubt she is nuts
