Iraq War Watch: Democrats Have NO UNIFIED Position

The top Democrat in the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, seen here in September 2005, endorsed a proposal by a senior member of her party calling for an quick pullout of US troops from Iraq. Opposition Democrats are struggling to find a common voice on the war in Iraq, torn between the public disenchantment with the US military campaign and the need to offer a viable alternative the US administration’s ‘stay the course’ approach.

The Washington Post has Pelosi Hails Democrats’ Diverse War Stances

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said yesterday that Democrats should not seek a unified position on an exit strategy in Iraq, calling the war a matter of individual conscience and saying differing positions within the caucus are a source of strength for the party.

Pelosi said Democrats will produce an issue agenda for the 2006 elections but it will not include a position on Iraq. There is consensus within the party that President Bush has mismanaged the war and that a new course is needed, but House Democrats should be free to take individual positions, she sad.

“There is no one Democratic voice . . . and there is no one Democratic position,” Pelosi said in an interview with Washington Post reporters and editors.

Read all of this foolishness here.

In other words, they have NO POLICY except they are against President Bush.

Murtha, Pelosi, et al are just blathering – with NO thought.

The American people need leadership not political hot air.

In the meantime in Iraq…….
