Speaker-Designate Nancy Pelosi Statement on the death of Saddam

[Monkeyman]

Washington DC Speaker-Designate Nancy Pelosi made the following statement on the execution of Saddam Hussein sent to me by Tom Manatos

"The execution of Saddam Hussein ends a tragic chapter in the history of Iraq, but it is not a substitute for an effective strategy that will bring peace to the region and allow the responsible redeployment of U.S. forces"

Site should be back up she moved into the Speaker Office this week

1. Let's all hope the Democrats are going to

be more than interior designers next year.

3. Right on! Shrub is what Nancy needs to Resign, to Crawford.

[Auntie Bush]

4. What makes you think That?

Just because she wants to get the remaining filth out of the room and get a clean start?

[asjr]

6. She will need a very powerful vacuum cleaner.

2. Pelosi, forgot about bringing peace to the region, get us out of Iraq

"responsible re-deployment", what does that mean? a slow process where years and years go by until, or a definite timetable where we are out in a year

I am tired of political speak, say what you mean!!!

5. That woman need to tidy up her english

Saddam was not "executed" he was hanged. It was the sentence of death that was executed and hanging was the means by which this was achieved. "Execute" means to carry something out.

[Whoa_Nelly]

7. Executed means put to death

Look it up. Pelosi used it correctly.

9. "Lynched" is the proper term.

10. Execute is a verb;execution is a noun.

Hanging, burning, beheading, shooting--they are all types of execution.

Pelosi was correct.

14. Well, let's just hope she's thinking more deeply than it sounds.

There's a rather tragic chapter about to blow in Iraq, Nancy. Are you paying attention?
