Pelosi: "I Would Say To The Vice-President That It's A Little To Late For 'Full-Speed Ahead'"...
| Posted November 12, 2006

Last week in a highly publicized statement Vice President Cheney said that the President's objective was "victory in Iraq. And it's full speed ahead on that." Today, in an exclusive interview with CNN's Late Edition, likely future Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) responded to Cheney...

Wolf Blitzer: Do you consider that statement, that was pre-election, still operable?

Pelosi: I would say the to Vice President that it's a little too late for 'full-speed ahead,' we've been in Iraq for 3 and a half years, longer than the US was in Europe during World War II. So 'full-speed ahead,' I don't think so. Right now we need a new direction that brings stability to the region and makes the American people safer.

2. LOL, Nancy is awesome, imo!

I was just thinking wasn't that why the Titanic hit the iceberg, because the captain had the ship going "full speed ahead" instead of slowing it down to be able to avoid the icebergs? Hmmmm.

3. but. . .but . . .but. . .

the insurgency has been "in its last throws" for so long.

How anyone can believe a word out of that man's mouth completely escapes me.

4. I will never understand how people ever bought his sh**

I didn't buy it when he was running for governor

[stellanoir]

5. nope. . . wrong dude

the VP said that but I know it's tough to keep who said what lie straight a lot of the time.

I thought he had only been a Congressman and served under Ford, Reagan, and GHWB. Didn't ever think he ran for Governor. Might be wrong and don't want to look it up 'cause he grosses me out.

And I think I read somewhere that his only bill initiated in Congress was to protect his own property. Yikes.
