What the Defense Secretary must be forgetting...

Pelosi responds to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's speech in which he said Iraq war critics are essentially like Nazi era appeasers:

What the Secretary must be forgetting is that what emboldens the enemy is sending our troops into the line of fire without the equipment they need to protect themselves and get the job done. What emboldens the enemy is sending them there without the military intelligence to get the job done. What emboldens the enemy is our lack of knowledge of the ground truth - or maybe we are in denial about what is actually happening there. Democrats are deadly serious about providing for the common defense and in order to do so, you must know your enemy. Clearly the Bush Administration did not when it went to Iraq. In order to protect the American people, you have to know your power. And we are diminishing that power by this war on Iraq. This is the wrong war. It is not the war on terror. We should have stayed in Afghanistan, with fuller force, longer to get the job done there.

I believe Bush and his Republican henchmen have been trying to pull off a coup, right here in our own government; that is treason! They have broken not only OUR laws, and humanity's laws, but they have broken international laws on torture! They should ALL stand trial for the crimes they have committed against the American people, and against humanity!

The Islamists are authoritarians, but they are not FASCISTS! Nazis were fascist. Do these idiots not know the true meaning of fascist? The terrorists have little power to create an actual fascist state. They are far from the power of the Nazis.

This Pelosi is dynamite. Intelligent and articulate - true democrat, and a total opposite to dubya and those neocon stooges.
