Press Releases Contact: Brendan Daly/Nadeam Elshami 202-226-7616 For Immediate Release 06/11/2008 Pelosi Statement on McCain Comment That It Is 'Not Too Important' When Troops Redeploy from Iraq
Washington, D.C. — Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement today in response to Senator John McCain’s comments on the “Today” show this morning that it is “not too important” when our troops can redeploy from Iraq:
"Senator McCain’s statement that it is ‘not too important’ when U.S. troops are redeployed from Iraq is yet another indication how out of touch he is with the effect the war in Iraq is having on the readiness of our military. Addressing the national security implications of the military readiness crisis ought to be considered as extremely important by someone who aspires to be commander in chief.
"The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, said again yesterday that our military commitment in Iraq is hindering our ability to meet threats to our national security in places such as Afghanistan. Military leaders agree that the demands of frequent deployments to Iraq are stretching our Army to the breaking point, and that unacceptable strain is being placed on our troops, their families, and their equipment.
"For our military readiness, for the families of our brave men and women in uniform, and for our national security, America needs a New Direction in Iraq -- not the continuation of the Bush-McCain plan for an endless war in Iraq.”
“our military commitment in Iraq is hindering our ability to meet threats to our national security in places such as Afghanistan.”
So they must be redeployed IMMEDIATELY to Afghanistan? Or Darfur?
I thought she was criticizing McCain because he wasn’t going to guaranty downtime for these troops.
She speaks with a forked tongue and it is saying “Hey, America! Fork You!”
San Fran-damn-cisco Nan can kindly go kiss a rattlesnake with her flickering forked tongue.
Can’t we find a way to GAG the bitch?
