Yes, Let's Talk Stature of Leaders

Speaker Pelosi clearly wants to run away from the fight in Afghanistan, since she's now claiming that Karzai is an unworthy ally:

She told NPR she had asked fellow Democrats to give President Barack Obama room to decide his Afghan strategy, which is expected to be announced in the coming weeks. Once Obama, also a Democrat, announces his decision, lawmakers would "not be shy" about responding, she said.

"The president of Afghanistan has proven to be an unworthy partner. We cannot fund a mission where we don't have a reliable partner and where whatever civilian investments we want to make, which are so necessary, will be diverted for a corrupt purpose," Pelosi told NPR News' Morning Edition.

"How can we ask the American people to pay a big price in lives and limbs and also in dollars if we don't have a connection to a reliable partner?"


Since our Speaker thinks we took our eye off the ball in Afghanistan during the Bush presidency, just when did Karzai become unworthy of eying?

A second question for the speaker, so concerned over where our money goes, would be just how is that stimulus oversight going?

And third, does the speaker still think Assad and Ahmadinejad are worthy of being negotiating partners?

No, she won't be Bashful about opposing adding troops to Afghanistan. I fear she's Dopey, however.

What a joke of a speaker. If she ever got a clue she'd be truly dangerous.
