Appeaser Pelosi: 'We' Could've Done Better in Toppling Saddam

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi still insists she was right in opposing Operation Iraqi Freedom. But she credits the anti-defense Bill Clinton, of all people, for its success.

"I have absolutely no regret about my vote on this war." The same questions still remain, she told reporters Thursday: "The cost in human lives. The cost to our budget, probably $100 billion.

"We could have probably brought down that statue for a lot less. The cost to our economy. But the most important question at this time, now that we're toward the end of it, is what is the cost to the war on terrorism?"

The San Francisco Democrat and appeasement activist failed to say exactly how she would've disarmed genocidal maniac Saddam Hussein. Perhaps by plugging all his weapons with flowers?

And just who is "we"? The appeasement movement? The Democrats? The United States? The radical left?

Even Pelosi's own chief underling, lefty House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., disagrees with her. Whereas Pelosi said she was "not convinced the war in Iraq has made Americans safer," the Washington Times reported today, Hoyer said the military campaign was "strengthening the security of our nation, as well as the nations of the Middle East and the nations of the world."

Pelosi's funniest comment ever: claiming that the success of Operation Iraqi Freedom was due "in large measure" to Clinton, who in fact decimated America's military.

"This best-trained, best-equipped, best-led force for peace in the history of the world was not invented in the last two years. This had a strong influence and strong support during the Clinton years," the La-La Land revisionist claimed.

Please keep talking, Democrats. Please keep revealing your true selves to America. The more the likes of Nancy Pelosi, John "Regime Change" Kerry, Dennis Kucinich, Howard Dean, Dick Gephardt, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Tom Daschle, Marcy Kaptur and Patty "Osama Mama" Murray keep talking, the more moderates they'll alienate.

As we see glimpses of grieving American families who have lost loved ones in Iraq and a body count that moves ever upward, the Republican majority in the House Budget Committee last week proposed to slash the Veterans Administration health care budget by $844 million. The House Republicans also proposed an additional $463 million cut in veteran's benefits from next year's budget. Further cuts were being planned for the next 10 years.

Many of the Republicans who backed these cuts are at this time portraying themselves as flag waving, "stand up for our troops" cheerleaders. Fortunately these cuts have been put on hold, just barely. After some 11th-hour arm twisting and perhaps a change of heart, the House-approved spending plan provides an approximate $3 billion increase for veterans health care as well as maintaining mandatory spending for veterans compensation and benefits.

To show their true support of our troops, the Republican representatives supporting cuts in veterans benefits might consider donating a portion of their salary to the families of our dead and wounded.
