"They like this war. They want this war to continue," Pelosi, D- Calif., told reporters. She expressed frustration over Republicans' ability to force majority Democrats to yield ground on taxes, spending, energy, war spending and other matters.
"We thought that they shared the view of so many people in our country that we needed a new direction in Iraq," Pelosi said at her weekly news conference in the Capitol. "But the Republicans have made it very clear that this is not just George Bush's war. This is the war of the Republicans in Congress."
Asked to clarify her remarks, Pelosi backed off a bit.
"I shouldn't say they like the war," she said. "They support the war, the course of action that the president is on."
"And that was a revelation to me," she said, "because I thought the American people's voices were so—and still are—so strong in this regard."
Yes, I support the war and the President. I support the troops who are in harms way and the fact they are winning it! Great job they are doing. And it makes me so sick to hear our Leader in congress knocking the troops down all the time. The American people want to win the war and then bring the troops home. And they will come home this time, Victorius! I'm glad that they will get the funds they need to win it. God Bless the troops!
