I saw a big AP headline a few minutes ago that read, “Pelosi comments draw White House ire,” and got a little nervous. Sometimes, if a Dem slips even a little, and a remark comes out poorly, the White House will pounce and milk it for all it’s worth (and then some). I cringed just a bit, wondering what Pelosi might have inadvertently said to draw the Bush gang’s indignation.
Pelosi said, “The President knows that because the troops are in harm’s way that we won’t cut off the resources, that’s why he’s moving so quickly to put them in harm’s way.” She added that Iraq should not be “an obligation of the American people in perpetuity.”
That’s it. That’s what drew the White House’s ire. Maybe after being called a terrorist-loving traitor a few too many times my sensitivities are skewed, but Pelosi’s comments struck me as rather tame, especially given some of the things Bush has said about Pelosi and congressional Dems.
Nevertheless, the White House is outraged. White House spokeswoman Dana Perino told reporters today that the Speaker’s comments were “poisonous.”

Really? Two weeks ago, several White House aides acknowledged that “their timetable for completing an Iraq review had been based in part on a judgment that for Mr. Bush to have voiced doubts about his strategy before the midterm elections in November would have been politically catastrophic.” |
