Nancy Pelosi Is Out Of Line With Criticism of Pete Stark
Nancy Pelosi ought to be censuring Bush, not Congressman Stark
The right wing got outraged. Nancy Pelosi cowered. The right wing demanded action. Nancy Pelosi obeyed.
Why was the right wing so angry? A Democrat in Congress dared to call it like it is. Congressman Peter Stark criticized George W. Bush for keeping American troops in Iraq to "have their heads blown off for the President's amusement".
It sounds harsh, but isn't the reality harsh? Is the Iraq War not an amusement for President Bush? Wasn't the war unnecessary from the start, with President Bush's knowledge that there was no real threat from Iraq to any other nation? Isn't it equally unnecessary for the Iraq War to continue? Isn't the Iraq War continuing so that George W. Bush can avoid feeling bad about himself, so that he can continue to feel amused by his power?
