On June 21, 2005, Nancy Pelosi declared the war in Afghanistan over.
She was very clear at the time.
Pelosi said, "The war in Afghanistan is over."
Note to Pelosi: It's not over, not then and not now.
Since her positively idiotic statement, this clueless woman has become the Speaker of the House.
That's scary. Someone so utterly clueless is in a position of such power.
No wonder Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Osama bin Laden, and other figures hostile to the Bush administration celebrated the Democrats' victory in November 2006.
Someone should notify Pelosi about the situation in Afghanistan.
What's going on is sort of warlike.
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- The Taliban has launched a new operation targeting government and foreign forces in Afghanistan, a spokesman said Sunday, as two policemen died in an ambush in the volatile south.
Purported Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi said the group's leaders announced the beginning of operation "Kamin," or "Ambush."
"In this operation, we will target our enemies and use our tactics — suicide bombs, remote-controlled (roadside bombs) and ambushes — against occupying forces and the government," Ahmadi said by satellite phone from an undisclosed location. "We start this operation today in all of Afghanistan."
After a winter lull in violence, militant attacks and military operations have surged. NATO and the U.S.-led coalition stepped up operations in the early spring, hoping to pre-empt a spring offensive by militants that threatened the already-shaky grip of President Hamid Karzai's government.
And this should bother motherly Pelosi:
In Kandahar, the Taliban ambushed a police convoy on Saturday, and the ensuing one-hour gun battle killed two policemen and wounded three others, said Shah Wali Kot district chief Obaidullah Khan. He said the Taliban also suffered casualties, but he had no details.
In neighboring Zabul province, a roadside bomb exploded Saturday as an Afghan army vehicle passed, wounding two soldiers, said Gen. Rahmatullah Raufi, the regional army corps commander.
Meanwhile, five children were killed in eastern Ghazni province Saturday when a bomb they were playing with exploded, said provincial police chief Gen. Ali Shah Ahmadzia. He said they were 5 to 12 years old, and two other children were wounded.
The explosive was "planted by the enemy at the side of the road in Andar district," Ahmadzia said.
Five CHILDREN were killed.
Is she going to blame President Bush for that?
I suppose she'll find a way.
Is Pelosi going to retract her statement of June 21, 2005?
No way.
This is just another indication of how disastrous the Democrats are.
They don't understand the War on Terror.
They aren't up to the task of protecting the American people.
It's as simple as that.

That woman makes my skin crawl! She gives slime a bad name.
How come we don't hear about Queen Nan's "This war is over?" quote in the media? Oh, that's right, she's a Democrat. Can't have people hearing the truth about anybody with a "D" after their name. "Nothing to see here!! Move along!!"
If you can't tell the difference between the president of Syria and the Taliban, then no wonder we're losing this perpetual war on terror.
And by the way, terror is an emotion. You don't fight wars on emotions. And the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. If 9/11 truly changed everything, then the terrorists have already won.

I feel sorry for you, mudkitty.
At the time (2005) Pelosi said it, I thought it was stunning that Republicans didn't jump all over that quote. I suppose it was part of their complacency related to being in the majority.
I'm hoping that before Election 2008 voters really understand just how disastrous Pelosi as Speaker of the House and a Dem majority are.
I hope they get the consequences of what having an appeasement Dem in the White House would mean. I hope they vote for strong national security.
That goes double Mary. But of course, a Christian like you would have to say it, now, wouldn't you?
