Pelosi: Bush Can't Act As Commander In Chief

Did this girl actually read the Constitution before she was elected? Does she not understand that the President has authority over the military and can order strikes where and when it's deemed necessary? What's worse is that she's being two faced about it and actually admits it:

Pelosi, D-Calif., noted that Bush consistently said he supports a diplomatic resolution to differences with Iran "and I take him at his word."

Well if you take him at his word, then why do you need to do political grandstanding in the public and undermine him at every turn Congresswoman Pelosi?

Granted Bush has taken a beating in the public view lately, and he's been a bit too quiet about it for my tastes, but I'm glad that he's finally waking up to it and saying something about it:

"This may become the first time in the history of the United States Congress that it has voted to send a new commander into battle and then voted to oppose his plan that is necessary to succeed in that battle," the president said.

The Senate unanimously confirmed Lt. Gen David Petraeus last week to take over as the top U.S. commander in Iraq.

Bush said it best: "Defending U.S. intelligence that has pinpointed Iran as a hostile arms supplier in Iraq, Bush said, "Does this mean you're trying to have a pretext for war? No. It means I'm trying to protect our troops."

Added Rep. Geoff Davis, R-Ky., a West Point graduate who was a flight commander with the Army's 82nd Airborne: "This nonbinding resolution serves no purpose other than pacifying the Democrats' political base and lowering morale in our military."

Exactly my point. Congressman Davis nailed it right on the head.

When his turn came to speak, Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas., said, "There is a better way of protecting our troops than sending more of them to be killed."

Really Congressman Doggett? Well if there is a way, we're all ears. Anything? Hello? Is this thing on? The problem is that Democrats time and time again show that they are full of fluff and bring nothing to the table in terms of real solutions.

There's concrete evidence that Iran is supplying insurgents with advanced weapons and explosives, but Democrats don't seem to give a shit about it. They say they support the troops, but where's the evidence of that? Where's the Democrats stating "the sniper rifles found on insurgents is bullshit and I want those who are responsible for it found and punished". The problem is that you won't find any. They are cowards in the face of an enemy and want to do nothing but blame America for the worlds problems.
