WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi cast House Republicans
as behind the times, or worse, after they suggested that the top
American commander in Afghanistan should "put her in her place."
"They really don't understand how inappropriate that is," the
California Democrat said of the phrasing, contained in a news
release this week from the National Republican Congressional
Committee.
"I'm in my place. I'm the Speaker of the House, the first woman
Speaker of the House. And I'm in my place because the House of
Representatives voted me there," she added. "But that language
is something I haven't even heard in decades."
She was taking issue with a National Republican Congressional
Committee press release that accused her of backing down to
liberals in her caucus who oppose Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal's
recommendation for an escalation of troops in Afghanistan.
Pelosi had been quoted as saying that voting for an escalation
was a difficult choice for members of her caucus whose
constituents oppose such action.
"If Nancy Pelosi's failed economic policies are any indicator of
the effect she may have on Afghanistan, taxpayers can only hope
McChrystal is able to put her in her place," the release said.
McChrystal's recommended approach calls for as many as 40,000
additional troops in Afghanistan for a counterinsurgency
campaign to defeat the Taliban, build up the central government
and deny al-Qaida a haven.
Many Democrats, aware of rising anti-war sentiment in their
ranks and the war protests that have dotted Washington this
week, oppose such a surge.
According to a new Associated Press-GfK poll, public support for
the war has dropped to 40 percent from 44 percent in July.
Nancy Pelosi should be removed from office and tried under RICO. |
