San Fran Nan shocked the Republicans don't want to lose the war

WASHINGTON (AP) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lashed out at Republicans on Thursday, saying they want the Iraq war to drag on and are ignoring the public's priorities.

"They like this war. They want this war to continue," Pelosi, D- Calif., told reporters. She expressed frustration over Republicans' ability to force majority Democrats to yield ground on taxes, spending, energy, war spending and other matters.

"We thought that they shared the view of so many people in our country that we needed a new direction in Iraq," Pelosi said at her weekly news conference in the Capitol. "But the Republicans have made it very clear that this is not just George Bush's war. This is the war of the Republicans in Congress."

Where has Pelosi been these past few months? We got a new direction in Iraq. We sent reinforcements and appointed a new commanding general who changed the strategy. The results have been so spectacularly effective that even the mainstream media can't cover them up.

THAT is what the American people (at least those who don't inhabit the little pocket universe of the rabid left) have wanted all along - VICTORY.

Yes the American people, Republicans included, want the war to end and the troops to come home but only after VICTORY.

No wonder the majority of people now think it was a mistake to give Democrats control of congress.
