House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , D-Calif., admitted Thursday that she had underestimated the willingness of Republicans to stand behind President Bush’s Iraq policy despite the drubbing the GOP took in the polls in 2006.
“The assumption I made was that the Republicans would soon see the light,” she said. Instead, the minority stuck to the president’s war policy in the face of unrelenting pressure from congressional Democrats and powerful lobbying campaigns by anti-war groups.
Bush has consistently refused to accept any limitations on his authority to direct military operations in Iraq, or on funds destined for the war effort. Democrats have been unable to muster enough votes to force him to accept a timetable for withdrawal of combat troops or a change in their mission in Iraq.
“The grassroots are justifiably disappointed and I am too that we have not done more to end this war,” Pelosi said.

I'd like to twist that slightly... its the democrat party that was tossed out by the likes of moveon/OSI/shadow-party/Soros, facilitated by McCain/Feingold.
No thanks... We don’t need her back here in Baltimore, Md. either... We have had enough trouble with the tax and grab Governor and “Left-istslature” we have here. Maybe she should represent Cuba, that seems closer to her ideal enviroment!!
It's almost as if he thinks the Constitution states that as President he is the Commander-in-Chief or something.
The trouble is, it’s blue where the highest concentration of votes are. Nancy was Sala Burton’s chosen successor (when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer after being HANDED her husband John Burton’s seat) and the Democratic machine is BIG in San Francisco. Nancy could have been a hooker from Geary Street and she’d have gotten that seat in the House once Sala Burton blessed her.
Maybe botox her breast and let her beat herself silly when she jogs!
I’ll help pack her baggage (though my back might break with the effort).
There. . .fixed it.
One of the few times our R's in congress have shown a spine and done what is right instead of what is expedient. Nancy was counting on expedient. I applaud them for that.
I see where she is pushing for the taxpayers to fund her desire for all organically grown food to be supplied to congress. If she can get this done I will have underestimated her.
PS: I would guess she is already hanging pretty low.
The good news is that WE WON the war.
The bad news: You wanted us to lose, but we won.
"The grassroots are justifiably disappointed and I am too that we have not done more to end this war," Pelosi said.Apparently she means, "more than nothing", because she and her fellow dhimmi haven't done anything but make noise, then vote in favor of continued funding. I noticed that she tried to spin the facts, and tried to blame the Pubbies and the President for her and her party's inaction.
Many thanks to your Son for making the “Triangle of Death” into the “Circle of Life and New Hope”!
Miscaculated? This woman didn’t have a clue then and she doesn’t have one now. She’ll never get it because she refuses to see what’s right in front of her face; WE ARE WINNING!
Thank you. I will tell my son of your thanks. The 10th Mountain really did great work in the 15 months they were there.
I wish the light would shine on Pelosi and Reid, so they’d scatter and run like the roaches they are.
Miz Hillary-wannabe from San Fran-damn-cisco needs a major brain flossing.
I almost said that she's nothing but a dirty capitalist pig in lipstick and false eyebrows, but I relented.
The moonbat’s days are numbered.
