Nancy Pelosi is toast..
I watched Nancy Pelosi's news conference and she said the CIA lied to her. I may be a democrat but she is causing major damage with her pie hole.

Pelosi: Bush briefers lied to me
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Bush administration intelligence officials told her explicitly they weren't using waterboarding on terror detainees during a Sept. 2002 briefing on interrogation tactics -- months after they had begun waterboarding Abu Zabaydah.
Pelosi also called on CIA director Leon Panetta to release full details on her briefing -- and shook her head in the affirmative when asked if the administration had actually "lied" to her.
"The only mention of waterboarding in the briefing was that it was not being employed," she told reporters, reading from a prepared statement -- twice for emphasis.
The intelligence briefers gave Pelosi, she said, "inaccurate and incomplete information."
"Perhaps they should release the briefing-- I would be very happy if they released the briefing," Pelosi added.
Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.), the ranking member on the House Intelligence committee has already made a similar request.
Yoniwhore is going to love this.

Re: Nancy Pelosi is toast..
If she's lying the voters will make her accountable. If they keep re electing her then conservatives need to shut up because no matter what they say or do it all comes down to who her district wants to represent them. Of course Yoni has no basis to bitch unless he lives in her district.

If she's lying she should be forced to step down.

With enough pressure it will happen. Look at Trent Lott. And that was just because he kissed an old racist's ass on his birthday.

They absolutely can take away her Speakership.
In order to take away her seat, she would have to be impeached. I doubt that would happen, but if she is lying about this, I cannot believe she would be allowed to continue as Speaker.

Got it. Let them strip her of her post anyway because she has been a horrible Speaker of the House.

Re: Nancy Pelosi is toast..
Pelosi represents everything thats wrong with the Democratic party. The sooner the next Speaker is put in position, the better.
With that said, who would be in line for her job?

Does Cheney represent everything that is wrong with the republican party?
The Democratic party is strong because of Obama, IMO, the problem with the Republicans is they currently don't have a "superstar" as Joe Scarborough puts right now.

Re: Nancy Pelosi is toast..
Speaker of the House, officially known as the Speaker for the United States House of Representatives, is truly the highest honor in which you can directly represent the people of the United States. The Speaker of the House is elected by other members to preside over the house and carry out many other legislative, administrative and political duties.
The democrats could have put someone else in but Pelosi best represents them. They are as guilty as her especially Obama.

Jack, you really might receive a little more credibility on this board if your positions were less sweeping. "They"...referring to all democrats? No. Only the democrats in the district in California voted for her to represent them. The democratic representatives in the House elected her the Speaker, but that election says absolutely nothing about their beliefs about her credibility on the issue at hand. Obama, never having voted in California nor having ever been a member of the House, ever voted for Pelosi for anything.
I am not a democrat. I cannot ABIDE Pelosi for any number of reasons, including her assinine position on this issue. But your comments do not add to the debate.

"The Iraq WAR Resolution (formally the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 ) is a joint resolution (i.e., a law) passed by the United States CONGRESS in October 2002 as Public Law No: 107-243, authorizing the Iraq War."

Hey dummy they voted for authorization to use Military force if necessary..was it necessary dummy? So now are you telling me that Congress made the President go to war dummy? Did the president have to authorize the use of force irregardless of the resolution? yes. If they voted no on the resolution could the president ignore that? yes.. don't be stupid.

Yes dummy, it was dummy,read again dummy, if you need ur partner to help explain dummy go get him.

This was a law that congress voted on dummy. The chance of war was high dummy. Bush could not attack Canada,Mexico,France,Germany or any other country dummy. This power was given to Bush only for Iraq dummy. Congress knew there was a VERY good chance he would use the power they gave him dummy and guess what dummy? He used it. And as time passes it looks like they all made the right decsion dummy.

What hole are you talking about? Read the LAW again congress passed. It does not say ANYBODY. It says Iraq. Please tell me where that law says anyone? I am begging you to read again. Here I will post it again for you.

Where does it say anybody?
Apology....WTF are you talking about? Are you stupid? Do you just make up shit. You call me a moron yet you think I apologized to you. Weird man.
You are saying the chance of war was not high? Thats wrong. Thats silly wrong. You might be the only dumbass on the planet that thought congress passed this law for the sake of passing it. But again you think it says a president can declare war on any country. :blah

Because BEFORE she was speaker of the house she was already one of the right's favorite liberal punching bags I guess because of things she said.
Cynthia McKinney too, but I think she hit a policeman or something and isn't in Congress anymore.

You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want me in Congress, you need me in Congress.
We use words like tax, spend, entitlement and "investment". We use them as the backbone of a life trying to keep our power. You use them as a punchline.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to men and women who rise and sleep under the blanket of the very money I provide and then question the manner in which I provide it.
I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a ballot and cast a vote. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
We can't handle the truth.

Until, of course, somebody suspects you are a terrorist and said 'enhanced interrogation techniques' are applied to you. Then you'll bitch and whine how is it possible that the land of the free turned into a Nazi camp (and most likely blame it on the Democrats).

Well, if I was a know associate of a group of terrorists that had just killed 3,000 of my citizens, caused billions of dollars of physical damage, and tens of billions more in economic strife; and there is no argument these three individuals were that, I'd probably expect to have information extracted from me in whatever manner they deemed appropriate.
At that point, I'd count myself as lucky that it was the United States of America and not any other country in the world, doing the interrogations.

If he cracked in 30 seconds, why did he have to be waterboarded 183 times?

He wasn't waterboarded 183 times...and, once you have some information, verify it, it could lead to more questions and, more interrogation.
I believe they said he underwent 5 waterboarding sessions.

are you saying it would be bad to waterboard someone 183 times?

If you were kicked in the groin 183 times in five sessions, how many times would you believe you were kicked in the groin?

If your barber cuts your hair using 183 passes of the clippers, how many haircuts did you get?
If a firing squad shoots 10 bullets into your heart, how many times are you executed?

If you were shot ten times -- how many times were you shot?

You were shot ten times in order to be executed...just like KSM had water poured on his face multiple times, during each waterboarding session.
Each pour doesn't constitute an individual waterboarding session anymore than each pass with the clippers constitutes a haircut.
Why are you arguing this? I'm not particularly disturbed by the prospect of him being waterboarded 183 times either.

Having a bullet enter your body is being shot.
Having water poured on your face is being waterboarded.

Then why are you arguing this? Why try to downplay the numbers? Say he was waterboarded 183 times with pride if it doesn't bother you.

Several platoons of American soldiers are being shipped from USA to Iraq where they will try to stop terror and help free the Iraqi people. The soldiers in each platoon needs to be divided equally among 3, 4, 5, or 7 squads. What is the least number of soldiers that each squad can have?

Because it's not accurate. Why not count the number drops in each pour and say he was waterboarded a bazillion times?

That would be inaccurate.
He was waterboarded 183 times.
