Realistically, Nancy Pelosi has put herself into an impossible position because either:

  1. The CIA mislead her, which is an impossible accusation to prove and any attempt to do so will (likely) result in her looking paranoid; and she would also make a lot of powerful enemies in the process.
  2. Nancy Pelosi is incompetent being that she was given briefings and was unwilling to pay attention or unable to understand them.
  3. Nancy Pelosi is lying.

 

 

      Why doesn't she just say the Republicans ordered her not to talk about it because of the negative PR it would bring them especiallly with George W.'s reelection campaign not being that far off and that there was a cabal of secrecy during the Bush years, so she just made the best decision that was right for her party at the time and that proved to be the best decision later on when Barak was elected? 

Pretty much.  I agree she is stupid for not pleading this kind of defense.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
