Pelosi: 'President's Speech This Morning Showed Once Again He is in Denial'

http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=73476

Contact: Brendan Daly or Jennifer Crider, 202-226-7616; both of the Office of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi held a news conference this morning with Representatives Ike Skelton (D-Mont.), ranking member, House Armed Services Committee, John Murtha (D-Pa.), ranking member, House Subcommittee on Defense Appropriations, and Jane Harman (D- Calif.), ranking member, House Intelligence Committee, in response to the speech President Bush gave on the war on terror in Washington, D.C. Below are Pelosi's remarks:

"This morning we heard the president's speech and it was yet another example of how he is in denial over what is happening in the war on terror.

"It was an interesting speech about Afghanistan; about a job that should have been accomplished several years ago. The president took his eye off the ball in Afghanistan. We have made efforts over the past few years but not to the extent that we needed to get the job done.

"I stand here with some of the leaders in Congress on issues of our national security. Democrats take seriously our responsibility to provide for the common defense. These champions here have done that: to protect the American people, to have force protection for our troops, and to destroy the terrorists' networks in the world. We know how vicious it is, we know that there is a big job to be done, and we know that job has been made more difficult by what is happening in Iraq.

"So to listen to the president this morning showed once again that he is in denial. He is out of touch with reality when it comes to what needs to be done to fight and win the war on terror.

"Important decisions are made about how we send our young people into conflict and what the reason, preparation, and strategy is, and it seems that the president has failed on all of those scores and he has become 'Mr. Rosy Scenario.' He paints a rosy scenario in Iraq and in Afghanistan, and the fact is that his actions have not made us safer and have not helped us fight the war on terror."
