Pelosi And Hasselbeck Mix It Up Over Surge

[RamboLiberal]

"The View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck tried to convince Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) that the escalation of U.S. forces in Iraq was "a success."

During a discussion on the war, Pelosi asked the View-ers, "How much longer should our troops sacrifice their lives when the government of that country is not willing to make the political change necessary?"

But Hasselbeck interrupted. "How can you turn your head at the percentage of deaths that have gone down, when in the past, people have been quick to jump on? If there was a surge in deaths, they would say, 'this surge is a failure,' but now we're seeing a reduction in those civilian deaths. And we're giving them the space that they do need for that political change that is happening. In my mind, and I'm sure many others, that it a success."

Pelosi shot back, with loud applause from the audience, "Elisabeth, if I may, with all due respect, there's still a lot people dying."

1. Ms. Pelosi makes such a important-"there are still a lot of

people dying". My point is then-Bring them home......Let's stop the dying.

[DUgosh]

2. This shoe salesman from survivor

is not worthy to shine Nancy's shoes

3. Was Pelosi on the View ...

Pretending that she wants to end the war? Hell, she won't even support PAYING for the war by increasing taxes.

That might turn right wingers against the war, and we wouldn't want that.

18. She wont even let it come up for a vote!

[polichick]

8. Please tell me it ain't so...

Speaker Pelosi went on The View?!?!?!?

No wonder the Reps don't take her seriously.

[Skittles]

9. Hasselbeck is a repuke whore

why is Ms. Pelosi wasting her time arguing with such drivel ?

[AnnieBW]

10. Why doesn't Elizabeth's husband join up?

He's a pro football player, after all. In excellent physical condition. Heck, if Pat Tillman could join up, why not him? Or her, for that matter?

[DesertRat]

16. Excellent point

I wish someone would ask that question on the View.

[libodem]

11. The over all average is 68 a month

I think September was 66.

[rufus dog]

12. August has been a low month each year

Very hot, deaths go down then back up in the fall.

[AmBlue]

14. "In my mind.... that is a success."

Well, now I feel a whole bunch better.

[Disturbed]

15. If Pelosi can't even crush a moron like her then Pelosi should

resign as Speaker now.

[Doctor_J]

19. So Liz and her chickenhawk unemployed hubby should enlist now

since it's perfectly safe over there.

[durablend]

20. Better yet, why don't they move over there?!?

That goes double for all the other chickenhawk 101st KB Brigade shitheads.
