The GOP has laid the gauntlet before the Imperial Princess. The only
question is can the Witch deliver?

My bet is she'll continue to lie while trying to make it appear all her woes
are the fault of the Bush Administration.

PELOSI SHOULD PRESENT THE EVIDENCE OR APOLOGIZE TO CIA, BOEHNER SAYS

Washington -- House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) said that House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) "ought to either present the evidence
or apologize" in the wake of her comments that CIA officials misled her
about the use of controversial interrogation techniques on terrorist
suspects.

"Lying to the Congress of the United States is a crime," Boehner said Sunday
on CNN's "State of the Union." "And if the speaker is accusing the CIA and
other intelligence officials of lying or misleading the Congress, then she
should come forward with evidence and turn that over to the Justice
Department so they can be prosecuted."

He added: "And if that's not the case, I think she ought to apologize to our
intelligence professionals around the world."

Boehner's comments were the latest attempt by Republicans to focus on the
speaker's knowledge of interrogation tactics in 2002, when she was the top
Democrat on the House intelligence committee. Republicans have suggested
that Pelosi, who has criticized the use of controversial interrogation
tactics in recent years, did not object to them in private briefings at the
time and has given inconsistent comments as to when she learned of the use
of waterboarding, an interrogation technique that simulates drowning.

Pelosi on Thursday accused the CIA of "misleading the Congress," an
assertion that CIA Director Leon E. Panetta, a former Democratic congressman
from Monterey, rebutted on Friday. But congressional Democrats have defended
Pelosi.

White House aides have declined to comment on the matter. But Virginia Gov.
Tim Kaine, chairman of the Democratic National Committee and a top Obama
ally, said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" that Pelosi "absolutely" has the
support of other Democrats.

Pelosi has acknowledged in recent weeks that she learned of the use of
waterboarding from an aide who was briefed in 2003. But Pelosi says that by
then she was no longer the senior Democrat on the intelligence committee and
had little recourse to object to the tactics.

The CIA says its records show Pelosi was briefed on the tactics in 2002,
which the speaker has adamantly denied. She has asked that the CIA release
the notes from that briefing, a request the agency has not granted.

Snip the "Boner" bull shit......

Why in the world would Nancy Pelosi resign or apologize? She is one of the
most powerful people in the US. The only evidence we have, absent an actual
investigation is Bob Graham's meticulous notes on his briefings. He backs
Pelosi claiming factual errors in the CIA accounts plus inaccuracies in
meeting dates and other factors. The CIA releases nothing "Boner" knows
nothing but spews republican crap, so it's a simple "she said, he said" at
this point and will soon go nowhere and die.

It's now backfiring on republicans who have been
crabbing about her knowledge of torture and is a clear example of
republicans picking the corn out of the cow shit hunting
for a tasty nibble. The fact remains that this morsel comes from a pile of
republican shit and it is the republicans that will ultimately eat it.
Pelosi is a side issue of no importance. It matters not what Pelosi knew,
when she knew it, or if she lied about it or not. She was not in the chain
of command, nor was she involved in any kind of sign off or approval. The
whole thing is bogus nonsense.

It's all about deflection. Deflecting the responsibility to others like a
little kid caught in the cookie jar, "but Johnny did it too." Republicans
never were very good at taking responsibility for their actions. Focusing on
Pelosi totally misses the
point and, of course, will not work in the end. Investigations are starting
and guess who is going to come out of the short end of that. Hint; It ain't
Pelosi.

A nice summary, Bob Eld. Does MioMio believe that a nasty chorus of
limbaugh brayers will resurrect the GOP into a national party?

For someone living in the Bizarro Universe it's MooMoo's greatest hope.

Taking 18% of the country to a majority? After the disaster of GW?

This needn't be a partisan brawl. It can be win-win. The fact that
Nancy Pelosi was aware and supportive of torture of POW's need
not hinder prosecution of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.

Bush and Cheney are a millstone around the necks of the
Republicans. Any Republican who supports the prosecution and
conviction of Bush and Cheney gets a clean slate. If the poster
girl for Botox goes down with Bush and Cheney, every Democrat
in the House moves up one rung in the hierarchy.

Like I say, win/win.

The GOP has no real power.
If that were true you would even address the matter. Instead the left is
wetting their panties over Princess Pelosi's lying which has resulted in a
meltdown bamby's agenda..
If someone has a case to make let him make it.
Actually if the princess can prove the CIA lied to her, then it's her who
must prove this charge she's made.

You do know it's a crime to lie to congress, right tard?
A good start would be eyewitness testimony that shows what was or
was not said at that particular meeting.
It doesn't work that way. The Imperial Princess made the allegation, so she
must prove her charge. Otherwise, your nonsense amount to the CIA being
guilty as charged and no w they must prove themselves innocent.....

IOW, Welcome to the Facist Left's America....
Without that knowledge, you
have absolutely nothing. Are you prepared to accuse the Speaker of
the House of breaking some law, or are you not?
I'm prepared to demand she prove her allegations.....

<Pelosi isn't alleging anything.

Oh really, is she RESCINDING her charge the CIA lied (excuse me- mislead)
her?

I didn't catch that news conference.

< Pelosi is simply denying. She's
<denying the unproven allegations of people like Cheney, Gingrich,
<Limbaugh and CIA officials.

Leave the rest of your strawman out and let her deny CIA records when she
was briefed on EIT used.

<The Republicans allege that Pelosi
<received detailed and accurate information about ongoing torture being
<carried out under orders of the Bush gang.

Correction, the CIA alleges she was briefed.

<So where's the proof that Pelosi was told anything?

Where's her proof she was lied to. She, after all started this entire
kerfuffle.

<Before we can ask
<Pelosi to "prove" something didn't happen, someone should be required
<to establish that something did happen. At this point, with no proof
<of anything, it must be assumed that nothing happened and Pelosi is
<right.

You're claiming the CIA is lying too..... Good, I hope the entire dem
establishment takes that posture.....
