The President is out of line in calling for bipartisanship?
I’M SICK OF THESE PEOPLE LYING!!!

“Republicans should remember that the reason Osama bin Laden is still able to threaten the United States, three years after the September 11 attacks, is the utter failure of the Bush administration to capture bin Laden and to destroy his terrorist network,” Pelosi said.
Pelosi said that Bush’s “condescension and go-it-alone policy” in a “war of choice” in Iraq has been a diversion from the real job of fighting al Qaeda and labeled the Iraq war a “grotesque mistake” that has cost the lives of over 1,000 U.S. military personnel.
Bush touts Iraq; Pelosi says ‘face reality’

Richard Miniter: One of the big myths about the Clinton years is that no one knew about bin Laden until Sept. 11, 2001. In fact, the bin Laden threat was recognized at the highest levels of the Clinton administration as early as 1993. What’s more, bin Laden’s attacks kept escalating throughout the Clinton administration; all told bin Laden was responsible for the deaths of 59 Americans on Clinton’s watch.
President Clinton learned about bin Laden within months of being sworn into office. National Security Advisor Anthony Lake told me that he first heard the name Osama bin Laden in 1993 in relation to the World Trade Center attack. Lake briefed the president about bin Laden that same year.
In addition, starting in 1993, Rep. Bill McCollum (R., Fla.) repeatedly wrote to President Clinton and warned him and other administration officials about bin Laden and other Islamic terrorists. McCollum was the founder and chairman of the House Taskforce on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare and had developed a wealth of contacts among the mujihedeen in Afghanistan. Those sources, who regularly visited McCollum, informed him about bin Laden’s training camps and evil ambitions.
Indeed, it is possible that Clinton and his national-security team learned of bin Laden even before the 1993 World Trade Center attack. My interviews and investigation revealed that bin Laden made his first attack on Americans was December 1992, a little more than a month after Clinton won the 1992 election. His target was 100 U.S. Marines housed in two towering Yemen hotels. Within hours, the CIA’s counterterrorism center learned that the Yemen suspected a man named Osama bin Laden. (One of the arrested bombing suspects later escaped and was detained in a police sweep after al Qaeda attacked the USS Cole in 2000.) Lake says he doesn’t remember briefing the president-elect about the attempted attack, but that he well might have.
So it is safe to conclude that Clinton knew about the threat posed by bin Laden since 1993, his first year in office.
She’s got a point — “Rising above partisanship” means agreeing with the loony left. I know because I read it in the New York Times.
All politics, all the time.
She forgot the vote allowing Patreaus to surge and report back in September.
Go Cindy go...
One dingbat trying to outdo the other.
Everything that Republicans say against Dems is bad.
Anything Dems say against Republicans is good.
You see, it's quite simple. The Dems draw the line and the Repubs toe the line.
Stop playing games! Harry Reid said so.
Are the rats really gaining traction with American people on this issue by pushing for withdrawal?
Hey Dubya, how’s that “new tone” thing working out for ya?
But she is touchy feely with the President of Syria.
I honestly feel for the "MUTTINHEADS" who cast a vote for this box of rocks.
Conservatively speaking, Pelosi needs help via psychological treatment which doesn't say much for the "airheads" who vote her into office.
And who is appointed to find and then wash her brain for this to happen?
LOL! If anyone is out of line it is the dimocrats and nancy
Just say, “It’s Pelosi’s fault!” LOL!
Ragheads rejoice and camel jockeys whip their rides a little harder whenever the SOH that our fellow citizens have voted into office commits treason.
Unfreakin believable that the POTUS allows this type of nonsense.
The good news is that is cannot continue indefinitely, a nuke will blow up an American city in the next 10 years, and at that time the nonsense will stop as the enemy at home and their cheerleaders will be properly dealt with.
It’s time for President Bush to speak truth to power.
He needs to tell the American people that the current Democratic leadership is not only against the president, and the Republicans, but that they, Pelosi and Reid in particular, are against the country. Period.
People need to hear in clear language that Pelosi and Reid would rather ally with the Castros, Chavezes and Putins of the world than with any free world leader of a democratic, capitalistic, society.
They’re budding tyrants, pure and simple. They support tyrants over people who want to be free everywhere; they cast their votes for terrorists time and again; they need to be run out of office for what they are—anti-American to the core.
President Bush should call them what they are, traitors to America, make the case forcefully, and then see just how many Democratic leaders decide to jump on the same sinking ship with them, because if clearly exposed, the Pelosi-Reid ship will sink. And they will take the loony far-left fringe of their party along with them.
Because it doesn`t call for 100% unconditional surrender to Al-Qaida. This woman is truly insane. Hey Nancy, try putting pressure on the enemy for once, especially those mutts who support them. Oh but wait, that would include you.
Has Nance been using Michael Jackson’t plastic surgeon?
What she really wants is Bin Laden in control of Iraq.
The new tone has always SUCKED. grrrr

Besides running a close race with Madam Albright, Cindy Shehan and Hellen Thomas as the ugliest woman in America Nancy is just plain full of Shiiet.
Nancy Peloser gives government a bad name.
Nancy those God awful low polling numbers about congress reflect on yours and Hairy Reads leadership not President Bush as a President.
If you Nancy was a scrub cow out on my ranch you would have been cut out of the herd long ago and made into ground hamburger or sold at auction as a Canner and Cutter.
Nancy you have to be one of the most ignorant non common sense women in America.
In my lowly red state wannabe opinion you are the poster gal for the ineptness of cowardly politicians.
Down at the cowboy bar they say your rather skanky looking but I disagree as most skanks are not cowards.
Have a nice day.
Democrats hate Bush more than they love their country!!!!
