Who's sorry now?
Members of the main pro-Israel lobbying group offered scattered boos to a statement by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that the Iraq war has been a failure on several scores.
The boos, mixed with some polite applause, stood in stark contrast to the reception House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) received minutes earlier. Most of the crowd of 5,000 to 6,000 stood and loudly applauded Boehner when he said the U.S. had no choice but to win in Iraq.
Pelosi and Boehner were speaking at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) annual meeting. AIPAC has not taken a position on the war in Iraq or the supplemental spending bill to be considered this week by the House Appropriations Committee, but much of Boehner’s speech was about the future of the Iraq conflict.
Boehner sought to link the fight in Iraq to the future of Israel, as he said a failure in Iraq would pose a direct threat to Israel.
Pelosi said the U.S. military campaign in Iraq had to be judged on three accounts: whether it makes the U.S. safer, the U.S. military stronger and the region more stable.
“The war in Iraq fails on all three counts,” Pelosi said. Some of the crowd applauded before catcalls and boos could be heard.

This cow is brainless on a grand scale!
Pelosi said the U.S. military campaign in Iraq had to be judged on three accounts: whether it makes the U.S. safer, the U.S. military stronger and the region more stable.
1. Does it make the US safer? No, leaving Saddam in power to shuffle his armies all over Iraq and play nuclear 3-card-Monty would have been sooooo much safer for us.
2. Does it make the US military stronger? Since when does going to war make any military stronger when you are presumably expending your resources in the process? If making and keeping a strong military is a high priority, then NEVER going to war is the best choice. Ergo, why do you have a military in the first place?
3. Does it make the region more stable? Germany was far more stable under Hitler than when Patton's Third Army strolled into town. Since when is stable the drink of choice?
This moron is dumber than Hillary. She's not even trying to make her lies palatable.
