More War

This morning on CBS’s Face the Nation, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced that Congress may refuse to authorize funding for an escalation of U.S. forces to Iraq if President Bush cannot justify the strategy.

Pelosi stated clearly that Congress will fully support all U.S. forces currently in Iraq. “But if the president wants to add to this mission, he is going to have to justify it,” Pelosi said.

I can just see it now.

Bush: "We need 30,000 more troops in Iraq because we need to stop the terr'ists once and for all-- because if we fail in Iraq, the terr'ists are going to come over here and attack innocent Americans like they did on 9/11."

Pelosi-- "Well, okay then. If you put it that way."
