HoustonChronicle.com - Pelosi on Bush: 'The emperor has no clothes'

"[Pelosi said ] 'The results of his action are what undermine his leadership, not my statements,' she said. 'The emperor has no clothes. When are people going to face the reality?'

House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., said Pelosi's comments 'were meant to inspire her political base. But who else do they inspire? If we followed Mrs. Pelosi's advice, Saddam Hussein would still terrorize the citizens of Iraq. We would still be waiting for the U.N. to make any decision regarding our national security.' "

The old Rebubbalican lies are ever in vogue. Bubba Hastert remakes the claim that the Iraq war was for US security, which everyone, including Colin Powell, has admitted was a lie, even a downright fib straight from the president.

And, sure, Hussein is no longer killing an torturing Iraqis, but the CPA seems to have filled in the torture gap pretty well.

Do you feel safer today?
