Nancy Pelosi Getting Booed

Ahh, poor Nancy, she's so used to people kissing her ass and hating George Bush, that she didn't seem to grasp that there are people out in America who see the real world for what it is and are willing to support efforts to fight those who are threats to us.

"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."

Let's examine those shall we?

Is the US safer? I'd argue it is. Yes, we are hated around the world, but that was true on 9/10, regardless of what people tell you. When was the last major terrorist attack in America? Can't think of one can you? The fact is that terrorists are going to Iraq to "fight the infidels and drive them out of Iraq". I'd rather that then them going into mainland America and fight an unarmed civilian group. Saddam is dead, his Baath party is beaten, and the Iraqi's are glad to be rid of him regardless of what you hear in the media. Let's not forget that Saddam had planned terrorist attacks against the US and the intelligence that pointed that out was from Russia. The same Russian people who opposed the Iraq war in the first place.

The military is stronger? What conflict in history made the US military stronger? There isn't one. Soldiers die, equipment is destroyed and it's rough on everyone, even those who make it home in one piece. That's a bullshit argument from Pelosi.

The region more stable? Yes, that would be a nice thing to have, but the goal isn't regional stability, it's to remove a threat to the US and it's citizens. Did we care if Iraq was stable after the first Gulf War? What about Japan, Italy and Germany after WWII?

Nancy Pelosi is simply after power, not what's right for everyone involved. You won't hear her say that the war in Iraq was illegal and that we should have never have removed Saddam from power. Why? Because she knows that it was the right thing to do, regardless of what her liberal constituents would have you believe.
